OBJECTIVE Cystic fibrosis (CF)-related diabetes (CFRD) is associated with declining pulmonary function and increased mortality. During oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT), CFRD is defined by 2-h plasma glucose (PG2). We hypothesized PG elevations during OGTT resolving by 2 h, not meeting CFRD criteria, influence pulmonary function in CF. Thus we investigated the frequency of elevated 1-h OGTT...

OBJECTIVE Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), defined by two abnormal glucose values on a 3-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), is associated with insulin resistance and a low serum concentration of adiponectin. The metabolic implications of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) of pregnancy (i.e., a single abnormal value on an OGTT), however, are not well established. We sought to evaluate the m...

AIMS To develop a model for simulations of processes in the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), using tools of the theory of dynamic systems. METHODS Frequent sampling OGTT was performed in 13 healthy subjects (6 males and 7 females). Subsequently, employing glucose and insulin concentration-time profiles of the subjects, the model was developed. RESULTS In all subjects the model was able t...

AIM To determine justifiability of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in non diabetic patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS). METHODS It was included 398 patients attended to Outpatient Clinics of Sisli Etfal Training and Research Hospital. Eligible patients were assigned as patients with MetS according to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. RESULTS After OGTT, there were 7 (...

Background When oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) are repeated in individuals, relatively large variations in the magnitude of the blood glucose response often occur from one measurement occasion to another. Little is known about what causes this within-subject variability. One potential contributor may be the subject's prior extent of physical activity and/or the amount of stored glycogen pr...

Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common endocrine disorder in pregnancy and number of pregnant women resistant to oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) has increased significantly recent years. In this study, we investigated extent resistance OGTT screening followed-up our hospital effect situation on newborn.
 Material Method: Pregnant their babies who were followed...

Abstract Background The optimal screening strategy for dysglycaemia, including type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is debated. Purpose We tested the hypothesis that measures of insulin resistance by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) indexes may constitute accurate methods a CAD population. Methods Insulin, C-peptide, glyc...

a b s t r a c t introduction: aloe vera extract is used as an anti-inflammatory and anti-bradikinin agent in laboratory animals. the aim of this survey was to evaluate the ant-nociceptive effect of a. vera aqueous extract in fructose-fed male rats. methods: forty-five wistar-albino male rats were equally and randomly divided into five groups including sham operated and four test groups. sham op...

gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is a kind of diabetes that requires persistent medical care in patient self management education to prevent acute complications. one of the common and main problems in diagnosis of the diabetes is the weakness in its initial stages of the illness. this paper intends to propose an expert system in order to diagnose the risk of gdm by using fis model. the knowl...
