Moreover, glucose-to-insulin ratio was lower in LBW newborns when compared with NBW infants (33.91 ± 45.17 versus 37.67 ± 62.67; P > 0.01), and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) suggests that LBW infants were more insulin sensitive than NBW infants. Here, INS is linked to Insulin resistance.
