lipoprotein insulin resistance score

Score of 0-100 with 100 being the most insulin resistant Procedure: - nuclear magnetic resonance-based procedure - combines results of 6 lipoprotein particle numbers & sizes based on their differential strengths of association with insulin resistance - large VLDL-particles: - insulin sensitive: <0.9 nmol/L - intermediate: 0.9 - 6.9 nmol/L - insulin resistant: >6.9 nmol/L - small LDL-particles: - insulin sensitive: <117 nmol/L - intermediate: 117 - 526 nmol/L - borderline: 527 - 839 nmol/L - insulin resistant: >839 nmol/L - large HDL-particles: - insulin sensitive: >7.3 umol/L - intermediate: 7.3 - 3.1 umol/L - insulin resistant: <3.1 umol/L - VLDL size: - insulin sensitive: <42.4 nm - intermediate: 42.4 - 52.5 nm - insulin resistant: >52.5 nm - LDL size: - insulin sensitive: >21.2 nm - intermediate: 21.2 - 20.4 nm - insulin resistant: <20.4 nm - HDL size: - insulin Sensitive: >9.6 nm - intermediate: 9.6 - 8.9 nm - insulin Resistant: <8.9 nm Insulin Sensitive: <27 Intermediate: 27 - 63 Insulin Resistant: >63 [2] Clinical significance: - unknown - data on beneficial impact on outcomes after early identification of insulin-resistance is lacking - advantage over conventional testing for glycemic control, and dyslipidemias is unclear
