Abstract
- In two groups of obese diabetic patients closely matched for age, glucose intolerance and indices of obesity, the group with hypertriglyceridaemia was found to have an increased triglyceride content of adipocytes (p less than 0.001) and raised fasting plasma insulin (p less than 0.02). Plasma insulin did not directly relate to the level of plasma triglyceride (r = +0.28, n = 36, p N.S.) but correlated with the triglyceride content of adipocytes (r = +0.59, n = 37, p less than 0.001). The results suggest that raised plasma insulin is not a primary determinant of the level of plasmatriglyceride but that it may be related by its effect on lipogenesis in adipose and other tissues.
