CAMARILLO ROMERO, Socorro et al. Correlation between insulin resistance and T3 in adolescents with risk factors for developing diabetes. Nova [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.23, pp.31-35. ISSN 1794-2470.

Objetive. Establish the correlation between serum triiodothyronine concentrations and insulin resistance by HOMA index in a group of adolescent men with risk factors for developing diabetes. Material and Methods. It´s a descriptive cross-sectional study. Participating adolescents with some risk factor for diabetes. The presence of metabolic syndrome using the modified ATPIII criteria determined by Cook. T3, T4, TSH and basal insulin were determined. HOMA index was calculated for insulin resistance. Results. 36 men with an average age of 15.97 ± 0.9 years were studied. There was positive correlation between T3 and total population HOMA-IR (r = 0.380 p = 0.022), when analyzed in the group of SM correlation increased between T3 and HOMA-IR (r = 0.647 p = 0.031). Metabolic syndrome in adolescents with a positive correlation between indices of insulin resistance and thyroid hormone concentrations.
