High-sensitivity C-reactive protein is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular heart diseases. In this study we aimed to determine the levels of serum high-sensitivity Creactive protein in patients with newly diagnosed type diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose, and to obtain clinical results by comparing impaired fasting glucose group with type 2 diabetes mellitus and normal group...

Introduction: Diabetes is one of the most common endocrine diseases. With regard to the importance of blood glucose regulation in prevention of diabetic complications, glycemic and insulinemic response determination of foods containing carbohydrates is greatly important. The purpose of the present study, therefore, was to determine the effect of low glycemic index foods taken at dinner on fasti...

conclusions based on these data, we can argue that circulating glucose concentration is not directly affected by serum resistin in t2dm. it seems that resistin affects glucose indirectly, through insulin resistance. results we found that serum resistin had a positive significant correlation with insulin resistance (p = 0.000, r = 0.64). no significant correlation was found between serum resisti...

Elevated cholesterol and glucose are known independent risk factors for coronary heart disease. This study examines whether an adverse synergistic interaction of cholesterol and glucose magnifies coronary heart disease risk among treated hypertensive patients. Subjects were hypertensive patients (n=6672) in a worksite treatment program, with entry fasting glucose <6.99 mmol/L (126 mg/dL) and to...

OBJECTIVE In the general, nondiabetic population, fasting glucose increases only slightly over time, whereas 2-h postload glucose shows a much steeper age-related rise. The reasons underlying these different age trajectories are unknown. We investigated whether common genetic variants associated with fasting and 2-h glucose contribute to age-related changes of these traits. RESEARCH DESIGN AN...

four hundred and eighty mixed-sex broiler chicks aged 3 hrs after hatching were allotted according to a completely random design in a 6 × 2 × 2 factorial schedule into 2 groups of 12 replications of 20 chicks each. the main experimental factors were fasting for 0, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hrs after chick placement, calcium gluconate (ca-glu) injection (0 and 0.6 ml) and sex (male and female). inde...

The precision with which glycaemic responses, expressed as incremental area under the curve (AUC), can be measured may be improved by using the average of several measures of fasting blood glucose (FBG). To see if taking two fasting blood samples would increase the precision of AUC, the glycaemic responses elicited by four test meals (50 g glucose; 50 g glucose plus 10 g fat and 10 g protein; 1...

BACKGROUND Associations between circulating markers of dysglycaemia and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in people without diabetes have not been reliably characterised. We report new data from a prospective study and a systematic review to help quantify these associations. METHODS AND FINDINGS Fasting and post-load glucose levels were measured in 18,569 participants in the population-based ...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity in healthy subjects with normal fasting glucose. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 148 healthy women (aged 53-70 years) underwent a glucose-dependent arginine stimulation test and a 2-h euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp. In the arginine test, arginine (5 g) was injected intravenously under baseline (fasting) conditi...
