[Insulinemia in patients with hypertriglyceridemia].

Correlations between hypertriglyceridemia and hyperinsulinemia in normal and hypertriglyceridemic patients were studied. Two groups of patients were observed: group with the hypertriglyceridemia and group without the hypertriglyceridemia. Classical risk factors of atherosclerosis as well as glycaemia and insulinemia during the oral glucose tolerance test was investigated. Positive correlation between hypertriglyceridemia and other risk factors as well as positive correlation between hypertriglyceridemia and reactive insulinemia was noted.
