2.3.4 Glucose homeostasis
Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) were employed to assess the IR via the following formula:
HOMA-IR = [fasting insulin (mU/L) × fasting blood glucose (mg/dL)] / 405
QUICKI = 1/(log (insulin, U/ml) + log (FPG, mg/dl)) 28
