BACKGROUND The Iowa Gambling Task (IGT; Bechara et al., 1994) has frequently been used to assess risky decision making in clinical populations, including patients with schizophrenia (SZ). Poor performance on the IGT is often attributed to reduced sensitivity to punishment, which contrasts with recent findings from reinforcement learning studies in schizophrenia. METHODS In order to investigat...

OBJECTIVE Efficient detection of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is needed to implement type 2 diabetes prevention interventions. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We assessed the capacity of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) to identify IGT in a cross-sectional analysis of 3,326 Caucasian Framingham Offspring Study (FOS), 1,168 Caucasian and 1,812 Mexican-American San Antonio Heart Study (SAHS), 1,98...

BACKGROUND The risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is known to be elevated in patients with diabetes mellitus but the risk of young adults aged 18 to 40 years with impaired glucose tolerance/impaired fasting glucose (IGT/IFG) developing CKD is not well characterised. Furthermore, progression of IGT/IFG to diabetes and subsequent CKD development is not well understood. METHODS A retrospective...

UNLABELLED Aims/Introduction:  To examine the cross-sectional relationship between sleep duration and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), including diabetes mellitus (DM), we analyzed a large-scale healthy workers database in Japan. MATERIALS AND METHODS   We examined the baseline database of 4143 participants (3415 men and 728 women) aged 19-69 years. Sleep duration of participants was categor...

Background . In the available literature, data on positive effects of sleeve gastrectomy in treatment type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) become more common, however, they are heterogeneous not always unambiguous. The aim To analyze our own results patients with tolerance, who underwent gastrectomy. Materials methods. Retrospective cohort registry-based study wa...

Recently, a new stage in glucose tolerance, impaired fasting glucose (IFG) (fasting plasma glucose level of 6.1-6.9 mmol/l), was introduced in addition to impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) (2-h glucose level of 7.8-11.0 mmol/l). It is not clear whether IFG and IGT differ with respect to insulin secretion or sensitivity. To address this question, we estimated insulin secretion (by measuring both ...

Surface-level differences in the reward and punishment variants, specifically greater long-term decision making in the punishment variant of the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) observed in previous studies led to the present comparison of long-term decision making in the two IGT variants (n = 320, male = 160). It was contended that risk aversion triggered by a positive frame of the reward variant and ...

Background: Decision-making is a complex, multidimensional cognitive function that requires the choice between two or more options and also the predictive analysis of its consequences. One of the tools most widely used to assess decision-making in neuropsychological research is the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). Objective: To conduct a systematic review of articles reporting empirical IGT studies ba...

OBJECTIVE Adiponectin may play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, little is known about the relationship between adiponectin and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). We investigated the association between adiponectin and IGT and between adiponectin and cardiovascular risk factors among subjects with IGT. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects w...

BACKGROUND The incretin effect is impaired in patients with type 2 diabetes. AIM To assess the relation between the incretin hormone GLP-1 and the prediabetic subtypes: impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and the combined IFG/IGT to investigate whether a low GLP-1 response may be a predictor of prediabetes in adults. METHOD 298 articles were found using a broad...
