Corticosteroids and glucose tolerance.

Glucose tolerance and hyperkinesis.

-The medical records of 265 hyperkinetic children carefully selected from out-patients at a treatment centre during the period 1973-1976 were studied for clinical blood chemistry, haematology and results of 5-hr glucose tolerance tests. All the children had been diagnosed as hyperkinetic at least twice including at least one occasion by a physician. Children with other known physical or emotion...

Glucose Tolerance and lipid profile changes after surgical menopause

Background: Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in women may lead to metabolic consequences in patients. This study was performed to determine the glucose tolerance and lipid profile after menopause resulting from bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Methods: From September 2011 to March 2013, 31 women participants aged 46-52 years who underwent hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for ben...

Prediction of Glucose Tolerance without an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

Introduction Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is diagnosed by a standardized oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). However, the OGTT is laborious, and when not performed, glucose tolerance cannot be determined from fasting samples retrospectively. We tested if glucose tolerance status is reasonably predictable from a combination of demographic, anthropometric, and laboratory data assessed at one ...

Do inhaled corticosteroids adversely influence glucose metabolism.

Glucocorticoids have been the mainstay of therapy of asthma because of their antiinflammatory action. They have potential for many adverse effects, especially with continued use. However, the inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) have a better safety profile than the oral steroids. In view of the long term requirement for ICS in childhood asthma, there have been lots of investigations on the adverse ef...
