INS and Insulin resistance: The homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) reflects hepatic insulin sensitivity [16,17], while newer indices such as the triglycerides-glucose (TyG) index [18,19] and the triglycerides-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio [20] provide information on peripheral insulin resistance and cardiometabolic risk [21].
