Abstract

Objective: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors related to insulin resistance. Data show that triglyceride (TG) levels following an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) are higher among obese and insulin-resistant cases associated with metabolic risk factors. In this study, we aimed to assess whether an exaggerated TG response was present in cases with MetS who had undergone OGTT.
