Metabolic Syndrome Panel
Metabolic syndrome describes systemic disorders that begin with insulin resistance, progress to obesity, glucose intolerance and diabetes mellitus, and may include cholesterol disorders, hypertension and coronary artery disease. Obesity, which is rapidly increasing all over the world, is the most important cause of metabolic syndrome. Although obesity and insulin resistance are mostly associated with environmental factors (diet and lifestyle), important genetic factors are known that increase the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Elucidating genetic risk factors in individuals helps epigenetic/nutrigenetic approaches to prevent diabetes.
