SPINA-GR is a calculated biomarker for insulin sensitivity.[1][lower-alpha 1] It represents insulin receptor gain.

How to determine GR

The index is derived from a mathematical model of insulin-glucose homeostasis.[2] For diagnostic purposes, it is calculated from fasting insulin and glucose concentrations with:

.[1]

[I](∞): Fasting Insulin plasma concentration (μU/mL)
[G](∞): Fasting blood glucose concentration (mg/dL)
G1: Parameter for pharmacokinetics (154.93 s/L)
DR: EC50 of insulin at its receptor (1,6 nmol/L)
GE: Effector gain (50 s/moL)
P(∞): Constitutive endogenous glucose production (150 µmol/s)

Clinical significance

Validity

Compared to healthy volunteers, SPINA-GR is significantly reduced in persons with prediabetes and diabetes mellitus, and it correlates with the M value in glucose clamp studies, triceps skinfold, subscapular skinfold and (better than HOMA-IR and QUICKI) with the two-hour value in oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT), glucose rise in OGTT, waist-to-hip ratio, body fat content (measured via DXA) and the HbA1c fraction.[1]

Pathophysiological implications

In lean subjects it is significantly higher than in a population with obese persons.[1]
