Impaired insulin secretion and decreased insulin sensitivity are the main pathophysiologic features responsible for development of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Insulin resistance is often associated with increased adipose tissue mass. To examine which variables influence insulin sensitivity, we compared metabolic parameters, serum resistin, leptin, and adiponectin concentrations to the insulin sensitivity, obtained by frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test using the minimal model analysis, in 113 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Duration of diabetes, fasting plasma glucose, fasting insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index, and serum resistin concentration were significantly higher in the insulin-resistant subgroup compared with the insulin-sensitive subgroup and correlated with insulin sensitivity. Stepwise regression analysis also identified these parameters as independent regulators of insulin sensitivity. The present study reconfirmed that fasting insulin level or homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance would be a surrogate measure of insulin resistance and demonstrated that insulin resistance increases progressively after the onset of overt diabetes and that the serum resistin level is associated with insulin sensitivity, suggesting that resistin plays an important role in the development of insulin resistance in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
