BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance is positively correlated with body @entity68 . It is unclear whether @entity68 is a cause or an outcome of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance precedes @entity6 . Offspring of @entity164 2 @entity6 are insulin resistant as compared to those of the non- @entity6 . The present study was designed to compare and correlate insulin resistance with @entity68 parameters (including serum ferritin, @entity69 saturation and blood haemoglobin) in non-diabetic offspring of @entity164 2 @entity6 and non-diabetic offspring of non- @entity6 . METHODS: It was a cross-sectional study, conducted on one hundred and twenty male subjects 20-40 years of age. They were divided into two groups, each group having 60 subjects. Group A included non-diabetic offspring of @entity164 2 @entity6 , while Group B included non-diabetic offspring of non- @entity6 . Fasting blood sample was taken and examined for @entity413 , haemoglobin, insulin, @entity68 , TIBC and ferritin. Data was analysed by SPSS-17. RESULTS: Insulin resistance and @entity68 parameters were significantly higher (p<0.05) in non-diabetic offspring of @entity164 2 @entity6 as compared to those of the non- @entity6 . There was significant positive correlation (p=0.027) between insulin resistance and serum @entity68 in non-diabetic offspring of @entity164 2 @entity6 . There was also significant positive correlation between insulin resistance and serum @entity68 , @entity69 saturation and haemoglobin in non-diabetic offspring of non- @entity6 . CONCLUSION: Non-diabetic offspring of @entity164 2 @entity6 have @entity68 load and insulin resistance, that predispose them to the development of @entity164 2 @entity6 .
