Intralipid triglyceride and oral glucose tolerance

Oral glucose tolerance testing.

The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is currently the gold standard for the diagnosis of diabetes. The recommended preparation for and administration of the OGTT are important to ensure that test results are not affected. Interpretation is based on venous plasma glucose results before and 2 hours after a 75 g oral glucose load.

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 ...

The intravenous intralipid tolerance test.

The half-life of an intravenously injected bolus of intralipid 20% was measured in normal rats in order to asess its relationship to reticuloendothelial system (RES) activity. Groups of animals were studied following various treatments, and the results compared to measurement of carbon clearance in similar groups. The RES effects of silica and C parvum were confirmed by the carbon clearance tes...

The gut and oral glucose tolerance.

A standardized triglyceride and carbohydrate challenge: the oral triglyceride tolerance test.

OBJECTIVE A standardized method of assessing postprandial triglyceride changes is not available. We evaluated an oral triglyceride tolerance test (OTTT) designed for routine clinical and research use. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A 200-ml strawberry-flavored test drink (50 g fat, 50 g carbohydrate) was administered twice to 30 diabetic and 20 nondiabetic subjects. Venous plasma triglyceride an...
