Association between serum bioavailable testosterone concentration and the ratio of glycated albumin to glycated hemoglobin in
Objective: Testosterone stimulates erythropoiesis and thus glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values may be relatively low in male diabetic patients with hypogonadism. We therefore investigated relationships between serum bioavailable testosterone concentration and the ratio of glycated albumin (GA) to HbA1c as well as between serum bioavailable testosterone and hemoglobin concentrations in men with t...
متن کاملGlycated Albumin versus Glycated Hemoglobin as a Glycemic Indicator in Diabetic Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis
Compared with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), glycated albumin (GA) is superior in estimating glycemic control in diabetic patients on hemodialysis (HD). However, the better index for assessment of glycemic control in diabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and the impact of protein loss on GA are unknown. Twenty diabetic patients on HD were matched by age, sex, and baseline postprandial pla...
متن کاملThe Relationship between BMI and Glycated Albumin to Glycated Hemoglobin (GA/A1c) Ratio According to Glucose Tolerance Status
Glycated albumin to glycated hemoglobin (GA/A1c) ratio is known to be inversely related with body mass index (BMI) and insulin secretory capacity. However, the reasons for this association remain unknown. We aimed to investigate whether BMI directly or indirectly influences GA/A1c by exerting effects on insulin secretion or resistance and to confirm whether these associations differ according t...
متن کاملThe Glycated Albumin to Glycated Hemoglobin Ratio Might Not Be Associated with Carotid Atherosclerosis in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes
BACKGROUND The ratio of glycated albumin to glycated hemoglobin (GA/A1c) is known to be elevated in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who had decreased insulin secretion. Additionally, the carotid intima media thickness (IMT) is greater in T2DM patients with higher GA/A1c ratios. We investigated whether increased GA/A1c ratio and IMT are also associated in type 1 diabetes mellitus (...
متن کاملGlycated Haemoglobin: A Predictor of Vascular Risk?
Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), a marker of average glycaemia during the previous six to eight weeks, is a predictor of microvascular complications in diabetic individuals. However, the role of HbA1c as a predictor of macrovascular complications (e.g. myocardial infarction or stroke) in these patients is not clearly defined. In contrast, new evidence suggests that HbA1c can predict the risk of ca...
