[Clinical value of detection of insulin resistance in woman with metabolic syndrome].
Hyperinsulinemic and euglycemic clamp studies were done in 17 women selected from 64 postmenopausal female patients aged 46-67 years with clinical picture of metabolic syndrome, and in 7 control women. Clamp test made it possible to follow dynamics of insulin and other hormones in the process of regulation of glucose level. This method allowed to prove quantitatively the presence of resistance to insulin and hormonal disintegration in patients with metabolic syndrome. Elevation of activity of sympathoadrenal system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension in metabolic syndrome at the account of augmented sensitivity of receptor apparatus. Lowering of somatotropic hormone level in patients with metabolic syndrome is associated with disturbed somatotropic function of the hypophysis which regulates blood pressure.
