This presentation looks at the role oestradiol, the thyroid hormones and insulin play in endothelial intracellular glucose metabolism. It examines why the clinical syndrome is not a disease entity in itself (obesity) but is actually generated by endothelial dysfunction. It explains why insulin resistance occurs, and the biochemistry behind prediabetic endothelial glucose metabolism. It explains the interplay of the sentinels of glucose metabolism , ie the gonads, the pancreas and the thyroid, that together predict the outcome that results in the clinical manifestation of the Metabolic syndrome and non alcoholic fatty change in the liver and examines what auto antibodies actually represent.
