Five-hour Oral Glucose Tolerance Test in Obese Children

Five-hour oral glucose tolerance test in obese children.

group as a whole, there was a delay in return of blood glucose to baseline levels after oral glucose, 27 children (60%) having a blood glucose concentration greater than 110 mg/100 ml at 2 hours. It was concluded that some degree of glucose intolerance is common in childhood obesity. No relation was seen among the following: impairment of glucose tolerance and age, degree or duration of obesity...

The One-Hour Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

Response of middle-aged men to loo-gram and 50-gram doses of glucose given fasting and 1, 2, and 3 hours after meal. PREFACE This is one of several studies designed to evaluate examination procedures used in the first cycle of the Health ESamination Survey. These studies constitute efforts to define and to measure some of the components of variation in the examination techniques. Where the tech...

Acanthosis nigricans and oral glucose tolerance in obese children.

Beyond the morphology of the glucose curve following an oral glucose tolerance test in obese youth.

BACKGROUND To describe the morphology of glucose curve during the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and any association with glucose tolerance, insulin action and secretion in obese youth. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional. METHODS OGTT data of 553 patients were analysed. Subjects were divided in groups based on the morphology (i.e. monophasic, biphasic, triphasic and upward monotonous) of gluc...

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 ...
