چکیده
The authors assessed the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) according to the 1980 National Diabetes Data Group (1980 NDDG) classification and diagnosis. Two hundred and sixty inhabitants [aged 50.9 +/- 9.6 years, male: female (M:F) = 90: 170] of five small rural towns in Kumamoto Prefecture (population 1.8 million) and 279 male members of western divisions of the Japanese Ground Self Defence Forces (SDF employees) living in Kumamoto, who had retired at the age 50 years were subjected to the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (75 g OGTT) in association with routine clinical and laboratory examinations. In addition, the results of 50 g OGTT obtained in 1243 SDF members (aged 50 years, male) from 1977 to 1980 were included in this study, after their blood glucose concentrations were converted to those of 75 g OGTT according to the 1982 recommendations of the Japan Diabetic Society. The overall prevalence of DM was 2.7%, IGT 17%. Out of the 10 subjects found to have DM in the inhabitants of the 5 rural towns, 6 (M:F = 3:3) were 60 years of age or over and half of them were aware of their diabetes mellitus. None of the 8 cases of DM discovered among the SDF employees examined in 1981-1982 had any signs or symptoms of DM, whereas 3 were hypertensive, 2 were markedly obese and 4 were hypertriglyceridemic.

The relationship between pregnancy weight gain and impaired glucose tolerance test
Impaired glucose tolerance has several adverse effects on growing fetus. In this study we evaluated the effect of excessive weight gain during pregnancy on the risk of glucose intolerance in pregnant women. A case-control study was conducted through which the glucose tolerance status after 100 gram oral glucose intake was compared between 60 pregnant women with maximum 10 weeks of gestation and...

The effect of chronic psychological stress on carbohydrate metabolism in rat
Several studies have shown that stress has major effects on metabolism. There is also some evidence indicating that stress may induce diabetes mellitus. The present study has investigated the role of chronic psychological stress on carbohydrate metabolism in male Wistar rats (250 ± 50 g). Animals were divided into control and test groups (n = 8/group). Blood samples were obtained by tail snippi...

متن کاملUsefulness of an Automatic Quantitative Method for Measuring Regional Cerebral Blood Flow Using 99mTc Ethyl Cysteinate Dimer Brain Uptake Ratio
Objective(s): Improved brain uptake ratio (IBUR), employing 99mTc-ethyl cysteinate dimer (99mTc-ECD), is an automatic non-invasive method for quantitatively measuring regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). This method was developed by the reconstruction of the theory and linear regression equation, based on rCBF measurement by H215O positron emission tomography. Clarification of differences in r...
