Abstract

Insulin resistance can be defined as a diminished response to the biological actions of insulin, an abnormality that occurs primarily due to inadequate action of insulin on peripheral tissues such as adipose, muscle, and liver tissue. Several clinical  conditions, such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, infectious processes, and endocrine diseases are correlated with insulin resistance.
The relationship between pro-atherogenic particles (containing ApoB) and anti-atherogenic particles (containing ApoA1) may be associated with components of the metabolic syndrome, such as increased waist circumference and blood pressure, low HDL -c and high triglycerides, in addition to being a possible cardiometabolic predictor for atherosclerosis.
This work aims to evaluate 2 clinical cases, having the parameters performed by laboratory analysis. The evaluation was given specifically to the clinical status of the patients, supporting the ratio of ApoA1 and ApoB, giving them HDL and LDL indices, as well as metabolic alteration or insulin resistance. As a result, taking into account the normality index (≤ 0.75), the ApoB / ApoA1 ratio was applied to both patients.
The results led to a note of normality for patient 1 and an alteration for patient 2, that is, presenting insulin resistance. This work aims to collaborate with scientific exploration in laboratory tests, contributing to clinical experience a better therapeutic approach for patients with insulin resistance.
