Research from Karnataka Has Provided New Study Findings on Obesity and Diabetes (Association of Lipid Accumulation Product with Insulin Resistance in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-sectional Study).

A recent study conducted in Karnataka, India, explored the association between lipid accumulation product (LAP) and insulin resistance (IR) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The study found that increased LAP levels were significantly associated with IR in T2DM patients. LAP may serve as a useful marker for cardiometabolic risk in early-stage T2DM, allowing for better disease stratification and improved prognosis. The findings highlight the importance of addressing obesity as a major factor contributing to IR and its related complications. [Extracted from the article]
