Objective: The recent study aimed to investigate the effects of chronic aerobic activity on the plasma levels of orexin A, leptin, glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance in males with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: Twenty subjects randomly assigned into control and experimental groups, involving 10 people in each group. Exercise protocol consisted of eight session aerobic exercise...

Sources of plasma glucose excursions (PGE) following a glucose tolerance test enriched with [U-(13)C]glucose and deuterated water were directly resolved by (13)C and (2)H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy analysis of plasma glucose and water enrichments in rat. Plasma water (2)H-enrichment attained isotopic steady-state within 2-4 minutes following the load. The fraction of PGE derived fr...

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of 1-h plasma glucose concentration and the metabolic syndrome in predicting future risk of type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 1,611 subjects from the San Antonio Heart Study, who were free of type 2 diabetes at baseline; who had plasma glucose and insulin concentrations measured at time 0, 30, 60, and 120 min during the oral glucose toler...

To support decision-making around diet selection choices to manage glycemia following a meal, a novel mechanistic model of intermittent gastric emptying and plasma glucose-insulin dynamics was developed. Model development was guided by postprandial timecourses of plasma glucose, insulin and the gastric emptying marker acetaminophen in infant calves fed meals of 2 or 4 L milk replacer. Assigning...

of delivery (14) the mean (±SE) plasma concentration of glucose was 99±7 mg/100 ml, insulin 32±6 ,uU/ml, glucagon 183±17 pg/ml. These levels were similar to those occurring in mothers who did not have an i.v. infusion, permitting pooling of the two groups for further analysis. The 't' test for paired data was used for statistical comparison of plasma concentrations of metabolite or hormones. Th...

Obesity, hypertension, a high plasma level of glucose, and some lipid abnormalities (high plasma levels of cholesterol and triglycerides) often occur in the same individuals. Some authors have postulated that the elevated levels of plasma insulin in obese individuals may explain this association. To explore this hypothesis further, the relationships between body mass index, fasting plasma gluco...
