common carp, cyprinus carpio (l.) were blood-sampled after 0, 2, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h fasting to find serum baseline levels. there was a significant difference in serum glucose, lactate, triglyceride and total protein but not cholesterol, albumin and calcium levels among the treatments. glucose levels increased with fasting tine and reached to a peak after 6 h. then, the glucose level decreas...

diabetes type 2 is a world wide spread disease with a multifactorial pathogenetic evolution. various factors like obesity, physical inactivity and poor lifestyle habits contribute to its development. the aim of this study was to verify if in young healthy sedentary male and female there is positive correlation between family history to type 2 diabetes and an increase in body weight and fat mass...

abstract        background and objective: the association of triglyceride/high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (tg/hdl-c) ratio with fasting serum insulin, which is an alternative method of insulin resistance (ir) measurement, is well-recognized. thus, the measurement of tg/hdl-c ratio is useful to determine both ir and dyslipidemia, which itself is a characteristic of individuals with ir. ther...

background: in 2-4% of couples in fertile ages, recurrent pregnancy loss (rpl) occurs which consisted one out of 300 pregnancies. the aim of this study was to comparison insulin resistance (ir) in patients with rpl to normal individuals. materials and methods: in a case-controlled, prospective study, 49 non-pregnant, non-diabetic women with early rpl as the case group and 49 non-pregnant, non-d...

background and aims: 25-hydroxy vitamin d3 is recognized to be an essential element for healthy body; however, its deficiency has been identified as a risk factor for thyroid disease, diabetes mellitus and other autoimmune diseases and infectious diseases. thyroid disease is common in the general population that its prevalence increases proportional to age. subjects with poorly controlled diabe...

The aim of this study was to compare the fasting serum glucose level with the fasting plasma glucose level for diagnosing hyperglycemic states in real-life clinical situations. Additionally, we investigated a usual delay in sample processing and how such delays can impact the diagnosis of hyperglycemic states. Among 1,254 participants who had normoglycemia or impaired fasting glucose (IFG) asse...

OBJECTIVE Although diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality, the dose-response relationship between fasting glucose levels below those diagnostic of diabetes with cardiovascular events has not been well characterized. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A prospective cohort study of more than one million Koreans was conducted with a mean follow-up of 16 years. A total...

OBJECTIVE To examine whether sleep duration and quality are associated with fasting glucose, fasting insulin, or estimated insulin resistance in a community-based sample of early middle-aged adults. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was an ancillary study to the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study. Habitual sleep duration and fragmentation were estimated from 6 days...
