ABSTRACT
Obesity is associated with DM Type-II. Insulin resistance is a fundamental aspect of etiology of DM Type-II. Insulin resistance is increased by different factors but FFA is the most common factor to increase insulin resistance. The hallmarks are abdominal obesity, increased insulin resistance and decreased glucose tolerance
Aim of this study was to studied the FFA level in obese without DM Type-II verses obese with DM Type-II subjects. Subjects were taken from OPD & IPD, Department of Medicine, SRMS, IMS Bareilly (U.P.) India, of both sexes, coming from reasonable distances around Bareilly city. Subjects were not on any drug treatment before taken blood sample. Serum FFA level estimated by ELISA method and Blood sugar was estimated by GOD-POD method. FFA level in obese without DM Type-II verses Obese with DM Type-II were either normal or below normal so we concluded that FFA level was not so much related with insulin resistance in this study group.
Key words: Free fatty acid, obesity, diabetes mellitus, insulin.
