Abstract
In its most recent adult treatment panel report, the National Cholesterol Education Program recognized the metabolic syndrome (syndrome X; insulin resistance syndrome) as a new target of risk-reduction therapy.1 The metabolic syndrome is a cluster of closely associated and interdependent abnormalities, including insulin resistance, compensatory hyperinsulinemia, hyperuricemia, dyslipidemia, and hypertension,2 and predisposes individuals to type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and coronary heart disease (CHD).3,4Keywords
