Indices of insulin sensitivity The whole body insulin sensitivity index (WBISI) is a surrogate measure of insulin sensitivity, which we have previously described and validated against the euglycaemic–hyperinsulinaemic clamp in obese children and adolescents [14, 15].
Sample text:```Pupillometry has been proposed as a simple and sensitive tool to detect subclinical autonomic dysfunction [30,31].```
Sample intent: background
Sample text:```Pre- and post-test1 both included measurements of the S-reflex, M-wave, and H-reflex, followed by an MVC. S-reflex testing was performed at 0 , as in the study by Avela et al. (1999).```

Sample text:```Similarly, a synergistic effect of sequence differences at the resistin locus on obesity and risk of type II diabetes has been observed (Ma et al, 2002).```

Sample text:```In this study, we generalized previous results regarding the quasi-Gaussian shape and the scalar property using the SBF model [13,21,52].```

Sample text:```Indeed, strong correlations between inhibitions at different ISIs have been reported previously (Roshan et al. 2003) which would be consistent with this idea.```

Sample text:```Of interest to motor control researchers are several more recent studies that were designed to examine inhibitory effect in the context of actual aiming/reaching movements to targets (e.g., Briand et al.2000; Welsh and Elliott, 2004b).```

Sample text:```ation (birth weight, head circumference, crown-heel length, standards of fetal growth according to Lubchenco et al.(6)), and vertical transmission of HIV-1 were determined.```

Sample text:```The stronger association observed between BMI and TBF than between BMI and PBF is consistent with several previous investigations (7, 21, 32).```
Sample intent: result



Sample text:```The items are internally consistent and reproducible and the questionnaire may therefore be considered to have at least as favourable levels of reliability as clinical scores used to assess outcomes (Koran 1975).```
Sample intent: result



Sample text:```These are in keeping with earlier studies on the steadystate response (2, 5, 8), step-function response, (3, 5, 6, 14) and sinusoidal response ( 14) of the various vascular beds.```
Sample intent: result



Sample text:```Laboratory parameters considered in this study were those already found significantly different between early PMF and WHO-ET: Hb (g/dL), WBC (3109/L), PLT (3109/L), and LDH (mU/mL).```

Sample text:```In men, two studies [36, 43], indicated that obesity was associated with lower CRC screening rates.```
