Association of the triglyceride-glucose index with inflammatory markers and dysregulation of adipokines in patients with metabolic syndrome
Our findings suggest that the TyG index reflects not only insulin resistance and atherogenic dyslipidemia, but also low-grade inflammation and adipokine imbalance in patients with MetS. Due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness, the TyG index could be a useful tool for early metabolic risk assessment and identifying adipose tissue dysfunction.
