Postprandial hyperglycemia is well established as a major risk factor for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. However, postprandial hyperlipidemia, no definitive criteria exist, fasting values of lipids lipoproteins had limited efficacy estimating lipidemia. In the present study, we performed fat-ingestion test aimed to propose indices lipoprotein metabolism. Methods: Healthy young Japanese women ...

Elevated plasma triglyceride (TG) levels are an established risk factor for type-2 diabetes (T2D). However, recent studies have hinted at the possibility that genetic risk for TG may paradoxically protect against T2D. In this study, we examined the association of genetic risk for TG with incident T2D, and the interaction of baseline TG with TG genetic risk on incident T2D in 13,247 European-Ame...

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations are most commonly estimated by the formula LDL cholesterol = total cholesterol - [triglycerides (TG)/5 + high-density lipoprotein cholesterol], although alternative factors such as TG/6 have also been used. Using standardized, automated, enzymatic lipid assays, we analyzed 4797 plasma samples from normal and dyslipidemic adults, to compar...

Let G be a graph without loops or bridges and a, b be positive real numbers with b ≥ a(a + 2). We show that the Tutte polynomial of G satisfies the inequality TG(b, 0)TG(0, b) ≥ TG(a, a). Our result was inspired by a conjecture of Merino and Welsh that TG(1, 1) ≤ max{TG(2, 0), TG(0, 2)}.

Low-fat, high-carbohydrate (LF/HC) diets commonly elevate plasma triglyceride (TG) concentrations, but the kinetic mechanisms responsible for this effect remain uncertain. Subjects with low TG (normolipidemic [NL]) and those with moderately elevated TG (hypertriglyceridemic [HTG]) were studied on both a control and an LF/HC diet. We measured VLDL particle and TG transport rates, plasma nonester...

Abstract Fine needle aspiration with cytology analysis and thyroglobulin level of the aspirated biopsy (FNAB-Tg), is an important tool to assess metastasis cervical lymph nodes (CLN) in patients papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) who have suspicious node features on ultrasound. Despite great diagnostic accuracy FNAB-Tg, studies failed define best cutoff value for FNAB-Tg. In our study, we describe ...

The measurement of thyroglobulin (Tg) by immunoassay (IA) is affected by the presence of anti-Tg autoantibodies (Tg-AAbs), which may cause false-negative or falsely low results (1 ). It has been shown that Tg quantification by LCMS/MS overcomes interference of Tg-AAbs in measurement of Tg (2 ). We previously observed that 20% of Tg-AAb–positive serum samples that tested negative for the presenc...

The objectives of this study was to investigate the influences of increasing levels of transglutaminase (TG) on dough rheological properties and the characteristics of white salted noodles regarding two Korean wheat cultivars, cvs. Keumkang and Younbaek, and commercial wheat flour for noodle making (Com), and to evaluate quality of white salted noodles from 13 Korean wheat flours with the 0.4% ...
