Circulating concentrations of insulin markers and coronary heart disease: a quantitative review of 19 Western prospective studies.

Description

An interesting review of prospective studies that have examined the link between circulating concentrations of insulin markers and coronary heart disease. The authors reached the conclusion that the link between hyperinsulinemia and coronary heart disease is far from obvious. This comprehensive review of available data draws attention to the need for large, well-controlled prospective studies with appropriate follow-up.
