Glucose Tolerance Test Before and After Gastroplasty. Is It a Secure Measurement?

Glucose Tolerance and lipid profile changes after surgical menopause

Background: Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in women may lead to metabolic consequences in patients. This study was performed to determine the glucose tolerance and lipid profile after menopause resulting from bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Methods: From September 2011 to March 2013, 31 women participants aged 46-52 years who underwent hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for ben...

Point: a glucose tolerance test is important for clinical practice.

Important for Clinical Practice There is no doubt that clinical, symptomatic diabetes is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality. It has also been shown that the risk is graded across the entire range of hyperglycemia (1,2). However, it has been debated during the last decades whether asymptomatic, unrecognized diabetes, or even a lesser degree of hyperglycemia, i...

Prediction of Glucose Tolerance without an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

Introduction Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is diagnosed by a standardized oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). However, the OGTT is laborious, and when not performed, glucose tolerance cannot be determined from fasting samples retrospectively. We tested if glucose tolerance status is reasonably predictable from a combination of demographic, anthropometric, and laboratory data assessed at one ...

A standard intravenous glucose tolerance test.

Caffeine ingestion increases the insulin response to an oral-glucose-tolerance test in obese men before and after weight loss.

BACKGROUND Caffeine ingestion decreases the insulin sensitivity index (ISI) for an oral-glucose-tolerance test (OGTT) and decreases insulin-induced glucose disposal in lean male subjects during a hyperinsulinemic clamp. OBJECTIVE We examined the effects of caffeine ingestion on insulin and glucose homeostasis in obese men before and after a nutrition and exercise intervention. DESIGN Nine s...
