Background  Previous studies on the effects of lipotoxicity and oxidative stress on islet beta cell function mainly focused on patients with diabetes, whereas studies on normal glucose tolerance (NGT) are few. The aim of this study was to explore the relationships among triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), oxidative stress indicators, insulin resistance, and beta cell function in populations with different glucose and lipid metabolism states.    Methods  A total of 517 individuals were recruited from a rural community in Beijing, China. Glucose metabolism status was defined according to the results of a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Dyslipidemia was defined as abnormal TG, HDL-c, or LDL-c levels. The population was divided into four groups: individuals with normal glucose and lipid levels (group A,  n  = 62); those with dyslipidemia alone (group B,  n  = 82); those with dysglycemia alone (group C,  n  = 121); and those with dysglycemia and dyslipidemia (group D,  n  = 247). Oxidative stress indicators, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR) and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), were measured. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and glucose disposition index (DI 30 , DI 120 ) were calculated to assess insulin resistance and islet beta cell function, respectively. Stratified multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore relationships between TG, HDL-c, LDL-c, oxidative stress indicators, and insulin resistance (natural log transformation of HOMA-IR, LnHOMA-IR) and beta cell function (natural log transformation of DI 30 , Ln DI 30 ).    Results  Compared with the control group, populations with dyslipidemia and/or dysglycemia showed significantly increased insulin resistance. Dyslipidemia aggravated insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction in individuals with dysglycemia. Stratified regression analysis showed that TG positively correlated with LnHOMA-IR in individuals with normal glucose levels (beta = 0.321, 0.327,  P  = 0.011, 0.003 in groups A and B, respectively) and negatively correlated with LnDI 30  in participants with dyslipidemia (beta = − 0.225, − 0.122,  P  = 0.035, 0.048 in groups B and D, respectively). Reduced serum SOD levels in individuals with dysglycemia plus dyslipidemia were observed, and a negative association between TG and SOD levels was found (r = − 0.461,  P  < 0.001).    Conclusion  TG correlated with both insulin resistance and beta cell function in individuals with dyslipidemia alone. SOD negatively correlated with TG, indicating a close relationship between oxidative stress and glucose-lipid metabolism. Due to the adverse effect of hypertriglyceridemia on insulin sensitivity and islet beta cell function, more attention should be paid to the detection and management of hypertriglyceridemia.
