Which

Which study originally reported the HOMA? How was it validated, e.g. with clamping as a gold standard? JFW | T@lk 12:45, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, have updated same. --shimari 08:58, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are higher or lower HOMA values indicative of insulin resistance? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.149.136.14 (talk) 16:39, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References missing for correlation between HOMA and clamp studies

The correlation between HOMA and estimated from clamp studies is given here as 0.88:
"This model correlated well with estimates using the euglycemic clamp method (r = 0.88)."

Discussion points:
1. no citation is given
2. the value seams too high, compare for example: Yokoyama H. et al. Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index and the Reciprocal Index of Homeostasis Model Assessment Are Useful Indexes of Insulin Resistance in Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Wide Range of Fasting Plasma Glucose, The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism Vol. 89, No. 3 1481-1484. http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/full/89/3/1481

The correlation coefficient is here given as r = 0.685 for all subjects. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuzzyrandom (talk • contribs) 10:04, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Insulin is given in mU/L.

I have seen another source where insulin is measured in units mU/mL. Can you verify whether the units are mU/L or mU/mL? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.223.204.99 (talk) 13:43, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
