Abstract: The objective of this cross-sectional study was to examine the relationship between the triglyceride-HDL-cholesterol ratio (TG:HDL-C) and insulin sensitivity in overweight and obese sedentary postmenopausal women. The study population consisted of 131 non-diabetic overweight and obese sedentary postmenopausal women (age; 57.7 [+ or -] 5.0 y; body mass index (BMI), 32.2 [+ or -] 4.3 kg/[m.sup.2]). Subjects were characterized by dividing the entire cohort into tertiles based on the TG:HDL-C (T1
<0.86 vs. T2= 0.86 to 1.35 vs. T3> 1.35, respectively). We measured (i) insulin sensitivity (using the hyperinsulinenic-euglycemic clamp and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA)), (ii) body composition ...
