The 75g GTT was performed on 259 pregnant women to clarify the relationship between age and glucose tolerance during normal pregnancy . Glucose tolerance in healthy women during late pregnancy gradually decreased with advancing age. In pregnant women over 30 years of age, the average plasma glucose levels after glucose loading were significantly higher than the levels at 20-24 years of age. The...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Corpus callosal cross-sectional area (CCA) may be a clinical indicator of disease progression, but factors influencing callosal morphology in healthy subjects must be determined before comparisons can be made in patients. We sought to define a reliable and easily repeatable method for CCA measurement and to examine the effects of sex, age, handedness, and cerebral volume....

BACKGROUND Plasma ET concentrations are significantly higher in CPNA patients than in healthy control subjects. METHODS We i...

Introduction: Radiomorphometric indices obtained from panoramic radiography are used to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate osteoporosis. Given the importance of early diagnosing osteoporosis.The present study was conducted to compare osteoporotic and healthy women in Rafsanjan, Iran in terms of mandibular radiomorphometric indices obtained from their panoramic radiographs. Materials and...

In children and adolescents (250 healthy subjects) serum dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH) activity (23.9+/-5.2 to 57.1+/-17.5 micromol/min/ml) increases with the age between 3-10 years, later it decreases approximately by the age of 10-14 years. At the age of 21 to 60 years DBH level is stable. Our study described decreasing DBH activity in adolescents at the age of 10-14 years in the studied sa...
