Height and glucose tolerance

Glucose tolerance and hyperkinesis.

-The medical records of 265 hyperkinetic children carefully selected from out-patients at a treatment centre during the period 1973-1976 were studied for clinical blood chemistry, haematology and results of 5-hr glucose tolerance tests. All the children had been diagnosed as hyperkinetic at least twice including at least one occasion by a physician. Children with other known physical or emotion...

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...

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 ...

Glucose tolerance and metabolic syndrome

Micromanaging Glucose Tolerance and Diabetes

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding RNAs that have significant roles in biological processes such as glucose homoeostasis. MiRNAs fine-tune target genes expression via sequence-specific binding of their seed sequence to the untranslated region of mRNAs and degrade target mRNAs. MicroRNAs in islet β-cells regulate β-cell differentiation, proliferation, insulin transcription and glucose-...
