Tan VM, Lee YS, Venkataraman K, et al. Ethnic differences in insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function among Asian men. Nutr Diabetes. 2015;5(7):e173. Published 2015 Jul 20. doi:10.1038/nutd.2015.24
Abstract:
Background and objectives: Lean Asian Indians are less insulin sensitive compared with Chinese and Malays, but the pancreatic beta-cell function among these ethnic groups has yet to be studied in depth. We aimed to study beta-cell function in relation to insulin sensitivity among individuals of Chinese, Malay and Asian-Indian ethnicity living in Singapore.
Subjects and methods: This is a sub-group analysis of 59 normoglycemic lean (body mass index (BMI)
