摘要: 甘油三酯–葡萄糖指数(TyG指数)作为评估胰岛素抵抗(IR)状态的简便有效标志物,通过血清甘油三酯与葡萄糖乘积的计算,近年来在代谢性疾病研究中备受关注。TyG指数与2型糖尿病、非酒精性脂肪性肝病、高尿酸血症、多囊卵巢综合征、肌少症、阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征等代谢性疾病关联密切,能有效预测其发生与进展。本综述阐述TyG与代谢性疾病的研究进展。
Abstract: The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index), as a simple and effective marker for evaluating insulin resistance (IR) status, has attracted much attention in the research of metabolic diseases in recent years through the calculation of the product of serum triglycerides and glucose. The TyG index is closely associated with metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hyperuricemia, polycystic ovary syndrome, sarcopenia, and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and can effectively predict their occurrence and progression. This review elaborates on the research progress of TyG and metabolic diseases.
