abstract objective: globally, 3-5.2 percent of people suffer from diabetes which is one of the most serious metabolic disorders resulting in an increase in inflammatory biomarkers e.g. interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and c-reactive protein. the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between inflammation, oxidative stress and fasting blood glucose, lipid profile and an...

OBJECTIVES Published descriptions of the oral sugar test (OST) and insulin response test (IRT) have been inconsistent when specifying the protocol for fasting horses before testing. The purpose of our study was to examine the effect of fasting duration on blood glucose concentration, blood insulin concentration, glucose/insulin ratio, OST, and IRT results in horses. ANIMALS Ten healthy adult ...

OBJECTIVE To compare A1C and fasting glucose for the diagnosis of diabetes among U.S. adults. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This study included 6,890 adults (> or =20 years of age) from the 1999-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey without a self-reported history of diabetes who had fasted > or =9 h. A1C > or =6.5% and fasting glucose > or =126 mg/dl were used, separately, to d...

Background: Early disturbances of carbohydrate metabolism are an independent risk factor of development of cardiovascular diseases. Objective: The diastolic dysfunction and left ventricle remodeling depending on presence of impaired fasting glucose were examined. Methods: The characteristics of heart remodeling and fasting glucose of capillary blood were studied in 85 men aged 30 to 63 years wi...

OBJECTIVES This longitudinal study investigated whether or not plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP), recently referred to as RBP4, was a marker of insulin resistance in overweight subjects. METHODS We measured anthropometric markers as well as RBP, fasting glucose and insulin in 206 overweight subjects and repeated these measurements 36 months later. Subjects were grouped according to fasting...

OBJECTIVE The study was conducted in 12 middle schools to determine the prevalence of diabetes, pre-diabetes, and diabetes risk factors in eighth-grade students who were predominantly minority and evaluate the feasibility of collecting physical and laboratory data in schools. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Anthropometric measurements and fasting and 2-h post-glucose load blood draws were obtaine...

Glycemic status depicts a state of individual blood glucose level. Biochemical parameters to identify glycemic associated with diabetes mellitus include fasting or non-fasting glucose, HbA1c, and oral tolerance. Our present work conducted systematic review aiming systematically summarize the in vivo experimental results nutmeg treatments towards rats mice. The followed PRISMA guidelines. PubMed...
