Wide clinical implementation of insulin resistance syndrome?
The aim of this paper is to review the literature regarding the metabolic syndrome and the single factor that links all its core components. That single factor seems to be partial insulin deficiency (PID), which is responsible for varying degrees of atherosclerotic vascular damage. In conclusion, we found that the diagnosis of insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) may allow clinicians to diagnose and treat atherosclerosis at an early stage-to stop or reverse vascular damage.
