The Cut-off Value of Blood Mercury Concentration in Relation to Insulin Resistance

The Cut-off Value of Blood Mercury Concentration in Relation to Insulin Resistance

Background : Increased blood mercury concentration is associated with inflammation, and chronic inflammation can cause insulin resistance. We examined the cut-off value of blood mercury in relation to an increased score on the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Methods :...
