Data provided by the National Library of Medicine- Visceral adipose tissue is not increased in Pima Indians compared with equally obese Caucasians and is not related to insulin action or secretion.
- Insulin receptor autophosphorylation in cultured myoblasts correlates to glucose disposal in Pima Indians.
- Metabolic factors contributing to increased resting metabolic rate and decreased insulin-induced thermogenesis during the development of type 2 diabetes.
- The natural history of insulin secretory dysfunction and insulin resistance in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
- Fasting and postprandial plasma concentrations of acylation-stimulation protein (ASP) in lean and obese Pima Indians compared to Caucasians.

- Insulin increases leptin mRNA expression in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue in humans.
- Insulin action and insulinemia are closely related to the fasting complement C3, but not acylation stimulating protein concentration.
- Ethnic differences in insulinemia and sympathetic tone as links between obesity and blood pressure.
- A high fasting plasma insulin concentration predicts type 2 diabetes independent of insulin resistance: evidence for a pathogenic role of relative hyperinsulinemia.
