Insulin Resistance Correlation

Meaning

Insulin Resistance Correlation describes the clinical relationship between impaired cellular responsiveness to the hormone insulin and a cascade of associated metabolic and endocrine dysfunctions. This correlation signifies that as target tissues, particularly muscle, fat, and liver, become less sensitive to insulin’s signal to absorb glucose, other hormonal systems are invariably affected. It is a central pathological feature linking glucose dysregulation to conditions like hyperandrogenism, visceral adiposity, and cardiovascular risk. The presence of this correlation mandates a comprehensive assessment of systemic metabolic health.
