Background:
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common metabolic disorder and its pathogenesis is characterized by a combination of peripheral insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretory capacity of pancreatic β cell. Genetic predisposition interacts with environmental factors including diet, physical activity, and age leading to the development of diabetes.
Objective:
To determine the proportion of overweight and obese persons with type 2 diabetes and to compare the fasting blood sugar, fasting serum insulin, insulin resistance and β-cell function in G972R carrier and non-carrier overweight and obese persons with type 2 diabetes.
Methodology:
One hundred overweight and obese patients with T2DM were recruited from persons with diabetes attending the Diabetes Outpatient Department of Yangon General Hospital. History taking and physical examination were done and blood samples were collected. Plasma glucose level was determined by the glucose oxidase method and fasting serum insulin was measured by enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA) kit method. Polymerase chain reaction and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism were done for genetic polymorphism.
Results:
Among 100 overweight and obese subjects with T2DM, 81 patients were of homozygous (G/G) genotype, 18 patients were of heterozygous (G/A) and only one patient of homozygous (A/A) genotype. There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of genotypes between overweight and obese subjects with T2DM.There was no significant difference in fasting blood sugar (FBS), fasting serum insulin, HOMA-IR, β-cell function, lipid parameters between IRS-1 (G972R) carriers and non-carriers. There is significant negative correlation between insulin resistance and TG level (r2=0.0529, p=0.01).
Conclusion
It was concluded that IRS-1 G972R polymorphism was not important in insulin resistance, β-cell function and lipid parameters in overweight and obese T2DM. There could be a number of candidate genes in the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus, genetic sequencing of IRS-1 and other genes in the insulin signaling pathway, and finding out the alteration in their genetic patterns would provide clues for the association of the site-specific polymorphisms of these genes with insulin resistance in T2DM.

Background:
Insulin resistance is the core of Metabolic Syndrome which carries a high risk for cardiovascular events. Insulin resistance had been reported to be higher in GERD patients than subjects without GERD, specifically in erosive esophagitis.
Objective:
To compare the degree of insulin resistance, using HOMA-IR index, between erosive and non-erosive reflux disease.
Methodology:
A cross-sectional study of 84 adult patients with GERD symptoms was conducted. The subjects were recruited consecutively between January 2017 and April 2017 at Cipto Mangunkusumo National Hospital in Jakarta. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GERDQ) was used for subject recruitment. Homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index was used to evaluate insulin sensitivity. Esophageal erosions were diagnosed using upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Bivariate analysis was used to determine HOMA-IR difference between esophagitis and non-esophagitis group.
Results:
The median of HOMA-IR in all subjects was 1.46 (0.32-13.85). Mann-Whitney test revealed that HOMA-IR index was higher in patients with erosive esophagitis [median 1.74 (0.35-13.85)] than those without erosive esophagitis [median 1.21 (0.32-10.78)] (p=0.05).
Conclusion
Insulin resistance is significantly higher in gastroesophageal reflux disease patients with esophageal erosions than in those without esophageal erosion.
