Chemical Pathology Endocrinology
Lecturer I
Chemical Pathology
At the Chemical Pathology department office
Appointment on Visitation important
Topic: Serum Insulin Like Growth Factor 1 And C Reactive Protein In Metabolic Syndrome Patients
Description:
AIM
To determine serum levels of IGF 1, CRP, Zinc in MetS
participants and healthy controls as well as
relate same with IR and other criteria of metabolic syndrome.
OBJECTIVES
1. To
measure serum IGF 1 levels among MetS participants and healthy controls
2. To
measure serum CRP levels among MetS participants and healthy controls
3. To
measure serum insulin and glucose as well as calculate Insulin Resistance (IR)
using the Homeostatic Model Assessment Index for IR (HOMA-IR) among MetS and healthy controls
4. To
measure Lipid, Blood Pressure and Waist
Circumference among MetS and compare with healthy controls.

SERUM ZINC LEVELS IN METABOLIC SYNDROME PATIENTS IN SOUTH WEST NIGERIA
Metabolic
Syndrome (MetS) is a growing concern not only in developed countries but also
in the developing countries owing to the increasing urbanisation. Metabolic
Syndrome has also been referred to as the co-existence of several cardiovascular
risk factors which have a mutual relationship and have common underlying
mediators, mechanisms and course of events. These risk factors include Insulin
Resistance (IR), Obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia and hypertension.
Insulin
Resistance has been identified as one of the key players in both onset and
progression of MetS. Zinc which
has been noted to have a wide range of metabolic and immunologic effects is required for insulin storage and secretion as well
as an insulin like action. To this end, determination of zinc level
is germane to the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome.
