The invention provides a method for detecting
insulin sensitivity, which comprises the following steps: (1) transfecting a
cell to be detected by using a GLUT4myc cDNA
plasmid: transfecting the
cell to be detected by using the GLUT4myc cDNA
plasmid, so that the
cell stably expresses GLUT4myc; (2) measuring the
endocytosis rate of the GLUT4myc: performing
endocytosis stimulation to enable the GLUT4myc combined with the anti-myc
antibody to be endocytosed, and regularly detecting the amount of the GLUT4myc combined with the anti-myc
antibody remained on the surface of the cell; (3) measuring the GLUT4myc
exocytosis rate: performing
exocytosis stimulation to enable the GLUT4myc combined with the anti-myc
antibody in the cell to
exocytosis, and regularly detecting the translocation amount of the GLUT4myc combined with the anti-myc antibody in the cell to the surface of the cell; (4) calculating the difference value between the GLUT4myc exocytosis rate and the GLUT4myc
endocytosis rate, and calculating the
insulin sensitivity according to the difference value; the
insulin sensitivity evaluation method has the beneficial effects that the
insulin sensitivity is evaluated by detecting the exocytosis and endocytosis rates of fat cells,
muscle cells or
peripheral blood lymphocytes GLUT4, so that early-stage diabetic patients can be identified, and the
pathogenesis of
diabetes mellitus can be researched.
