Materials and methods In a cross-sectional study, 128 subjects (53.1±12.3 y, females 72%) were submitted to a 75-g OGTT (measurement of glucose and insulin) and divided according to glucose tolerance status (normal glucose tolerance [NGT; n=38], prediabetes [PDM; n=53] and diabetes [DM; n=37]). 24-h ABPM was performed. Mean 24h PP was calculated as the difference between mean systolic and diast...

The ISI-energy εisi(G) of a graph G=(V,E) is the sum absolute values eigenvalues ISI-matrix C(G)=[cij]n×n in which cij=d(vi)d(vj)d(vi)+d(vj) if vivj∈E(G) and cij=0 otherwise. d(vi) denotes degree vertex vi∈V. As class energy, can be utilized to ascertain general energy conjugated carbon molecules. Two non-isomorphic graphs same order are said ISI-equienergetic their ISI-energies equal. In this ...
