Peculiarities of the carbohydrate metabolism depending on different somatotypes of men with coronary artery disease

Aimed at studying the state of carbohydrate metabolism in men of different somatotypes having coronary artery disease we examined 79 men aged from 30 to 59 years. The technique of somatometry was used, glucose tolerance test was performed, levels of insulin immune reactivity were assessed. Heterogeneous intercorrelations between levels of insulin, glycemia and anthropometric indices in men of different somatotypes which were mostly expressed in men of abdominal and muscular somatotypes. Men of indefinite and thoracic somatotypes had smaller level of intercorrelations between the indices studied.
