homeostatic model assessment (HOMA)

Indications: - method used to quantify insulin resistance & beta-cell function Procedure: - uses fasting serum glucose & serum insulin - HOMA2 uses fasting serum glucose & serum insulin or C-peptide in serum - the raw data is process with computer software Interpretation: - HOMA-IR: [serum glucose]* x [serum insulin] / 405 - HOMA-beta: 360 x [serum insulin] / ([serum glucose] - 63) * serum glucose in mg/dL
