Heritability of metabolic response to the intravenous glucose tolerance test in German Holstein Friesian bulls

Microvascularisation of the scrotal integument of Holstein-Friesian bulls.

Based on standard histological methods and specific injection technique, the study demonstrates for the first time the blood vessel system of the scrotal integument.The latter is relatively thin and shows a thick underlying fascia, the tunica dartos. The vessel networks found in both structures are somewhat different from each other, i.e., the former displays the typical integumental vessel sch...

Intravenous Glucose Tolerance Test in Normal Persons

as a supplement to the oral method has been pointed out by many workers. Moreover, the possibility of error in the result of oral method due to diminished absorption has been shown by Beeler, Bryan, Cathcart and Fitz (1922). The flat blood sugar curve obtained by Thaysen (1929) after the oral administration of glucose, as has been shown by the author, is due to the diminished absorption of gluc...

Metabolic Profiling of the Response to an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test Detects Subtle Metabolic Changes

BACKGROUND The prevalence of overweight is increasing globally and has become a serious health problem. Low-grade chronic inflammation in overweight subjects is thought to play an important role in disease development. Novel tools to understand these processes are needed. Metabolic profiling is one such tool that can provide novel insights into the impact of treatments on metabolism. METHODOL...

A standard intravenous glucose tolerance test.

Intravenous Glucose Tolerance Test and Glucose Kinetic Parameters in Rabbits

The purpose of this study was to determine the normal range and test variability for intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) in rabbits. Fifty one clinically healthy New Zealand white rabbits of both sexes (31 female and 20 male), 3.5−4 months of age and weighing 2.8 to 3.7 kg were used. The IVGTT was performed after an overnight fasting period of 12 h by intravenous injection of 40% glucose...
