Abstract:
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a complex polygenic inheritance disease, caused by the accumulative effect of multiple genes and some environmental factors. Insulin resistance is the pathophysiologic foundation of MS. From the viewpoint of TCM, phlegm is the basic pathological factor of MS. In different periods and different symptoms of the disease, phlegm can be found during the whole disease course. Genes as an important component of the innate factors, play an important role in the formation of phlegm syndrome. Researches on correlation between susceptibility genes and phlegm syndrome in MS are important to enrich the connotation of phlegm syndrome and improve the level of diagnosis and treatment for this disease.
