The metabolic syndrome: current perspective
Since the 1998 Banting lecture, a number of new candidates have been recognized for the metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance syndrome/syndrome “X”. These additional candidates have included small dense LDL and a group of novel risk factors including elevated CRP levels, PAI-1 and fibrinogen. Other investigators have noted that insulin resistance occurs in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome and some authors are now making an association of insulin resistance with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Note that in this more recent review, Professor Reaven acknowledges the importance of visceral adiposity.
