OBJECTIVE: To observe the relationship between TCM Syndrome-type and insulin resistance (ISR) in coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS: Fifty patients were divided into 3 groups according to the Syndrome Differentiation-typing in TCM, the Heart blood stasis (HBS) Syndrome group, the Phlegm-Turbid stagnation (PTS) Syndrome group and both Qi-Yin Deficiency (QYD) Syndrome group. The fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting blood insulin (Ins), insulin antibody (IAA), islet cell antibody (ICA), glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GAD-Ab) and related blood lipid parameters in patients were determined and insulin sensitive index (ISI) was calculated simultaneously. Then the above-mentioned data were compared with those determined in 20 healthy control subjects. RESULTS: The levels of FBG and Ins in CHD group were higher than those in healthy control group significantly (P < 0.05), but ISI level was obviously lower (P < 0.01). Moreover, the positive ratio of IAA (40%) was higher in CHD group than that in the control group (5%) significantly (P < 0.01). Comparison between the 3 TCM Syndrome-type groups and the control group showed that ISI level in HBS and PTS group was obviously lower than that in the control and the QYD (P < 0.05) respectively, and the IAA positive ratio in the former 2 groups (50%, 47.3%) was higher than that in the later two (5%, P < 0.01 and 15.38%, P < 0.05) markedly. While Ins level increased only in the HBS group (P < 0.05). Besides, patients of HBS and PTS were accompanied by lipid metabolic disturbance. CONCLUSION: ISR presents in part of CHD patients particularly in those with HBS and PTS, which was partly due to the existence of IAA in patients serum.
