Insulin Resistance Syndromes
Chairs: Alan Rogol, Insmed Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Glen Allen, VA & Charlotte Boney, Rhode Island Hospital, Providence, RI

Insulin resistance is the underlying factor in many of the consequences of obesity in childhood and adolescence, including ovarian hyperandrogenism, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and Type 2 diabetes. Obesity, dyslipidemia, and Type 2 diabetes are components of SyndromeX in adults, a serious public health issue. In addition, insulin has a role in the regulation of leptin, the major signal of adiposity to the brain. Dr. Arslanian will discuss insulin resistance in polycystic ovary disease and Type 2 diabetes. Dr. Freedman will review the cardiac risk factors related to insulin resistance, and Dr. Roemmich will discuss the insulin-leptin axis in obesity and puberty.
