Characterization of the prediabetic state.

چکیده
First degree relatives of patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) have a 40% risk of developing NIDDM during their lifetime and the risk seems to be greater if the disease is inherited from the mother than from the father. It has also become clear that metabolic abnormalities are demonstrable long before the disease becomes manifest. The prediabetic state is associated with a predisposition to abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, lipid disorders, high blood pressure, and microalbuminuria, ie, the metabolic or insulin resistance syndrome. It is, however, not yet known whether treatment of these abnormalities is able to prevent progression to manifest NIDDM.

Patterns of Changes in Abdominal Obesity Indices in Prediabetic Individuals: Results of a 16-year Prospective Cohort Study among First-degree Relatives of Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Introduction: Previous studies have not investigated the association of concomitant changes in obesity indicators with diabetes in prediabetic patients. This study aimed to identify the patterns of changes in the abdominal obesity indices over time in prediabetic patients and to predict high-risk individuals for the future risk of diabetes development. Materials and Methods: This prospective 16...

In the present work, we report preparation of NiO nanoparticles with well-defined plate morphology by solid-state reaction of NiCl2∙6H2O and the Schiff base ligand N,N′-bis-(3-methoxysalicylidene)benzene-1,4-diamine), as a novel precursor via solid state thermal decomposition method. This method is a simple and environmentally friendly for preparing t...
متن کاملInflammation in the prediabetic state is related to increased insulin resistance rather than decreased insulin secretion.
BACKGROUND Elevated levels of proinflammatory proteins are predictive of both cardiovascular (CV) disease and type 2 diabetes. Previously, atherogenic changes in traditional CV risk factors in the prediabetic state were mainly seen in insulin-resistant subjects rather than in those with a predominant defect in insulin secretion. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied in prediabetic individuals from t...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Prediabetic State in a Novel Rat Model of Type 2 Diabetes, the ZFDM Rat
We recently established a novel animal model of obese type 2 diabetes (T2D), the Zucker fatty diabetes mellitus (ZFDM) rat strain harboring the fatty mutation (fa) in the leptin receptor gene. Here we performed a phenotypic characterization of the strain, focusing mainly on the prediabetic state. At 6-8 weeks of age, fa/fa male rats exhibited mild glucose intolerance and severe insulin resistan...
متن کاملModulation of baroreflex function by rosiglitazone in prediabetic hyperglycemic rats.
Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) is abnormal in the prediabetic state. This study was conducted to determine effects of chronic rosiglitazone (RSG), an insulin sensitizer, on BRS in prediabetic hyperglycemic (PDH) rats induced by nicotinamide and streptozotocin. The fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels were 5.6-6.9 and 7.8-11.0 mmol/l, respectively. Rats were treated with RSG or saline for...
