Insuhyper: Role of insulin in endogenous hypertriglyceridemia
In pvrank: Rank Correlations

Description Usage Format Details Source Examples

Dietary carbohydrate accentuation of endogenous triglyceride production has been studied in 33 patients. No significant correlation existed between fasting plasma triglyceride concentration and either plasma glucose or free fatty acid concentrations after the high carbohydrate diet, nor was the degree of hypertriglyceridemia related to degree of obesity.

Sex: M=male, F=female
Height: cm
Weight: kg
PI: Ponderal Index, an estimate of obesity= Height(inches)/[weight(pounts)]^(1/3)
TG: Mean plasma triglyceride concentration during the last 2 wk of the high carbohydrate dietary period
PG8am: Plasma Glusose at 8 a.m. mg/100 ml
PG8am: Plasma Glusose at 9 a.m. mg/100 ml
PG8am: Plasma Glusose at 10 a.m.mg/100 ml
PG8am: Plasma Glusose average mg/100 ml
PI8am: Plasma Insulin at 8 a.m. μU/ml
PI8am: Plasma Insulin at 9 a.m. μU/ml
PI8am: Plasma Insulin at 10 a.m. μU/ml
PI8am: Plasma Insulin average μU/ml
PF8am: Plasma FFA at 8 a.m. μEq/liter.
PF8am: Plasma FFA at 9 a.m. μEq/liter
PF8am: Plasma FFA at 10 a.m. μEq/liter
PF8am: Plasma FFA average μEq/liter

Row names indicate name initials of the patients. The last four variables are omitted for 13 patients.

Authors have reported that the magnitude of plasma triglyceride response in man to diets either high or low in carbohydrate was highly correlated with both the plasma glucose and insulin responses elicited by that diet. The results confirm their previous finding of a high correlation between insulin and triglyceride responses. However, with inclusion of hyperglycemic patients there was no correlation found between plasma glucose response and the magnitude of the triglyceride elevation produced by the high carbohydrate diet. Finally, there was no correlation between hypertriglyceridemia and degree of obesity, or magnitude of the FFA response.
