In normal man there is a fine balance between anabolic and catabolic processes. Both are under hormonal control, with insulin acting as the prime anabolic agent and a group of hormones, glucagon, the two catecholamines and glucocorticoids, regulating catabolism. Growth hormone has a mixed anabolic and catabolic function directed primarily at amino acid and protein conservation. Recently there h...

Unger studied the balanced leaf languages defined via poly-logarithmically sparse leaf pattern sets. Unger shows that NP-complete sets are not polynomial-time many-one reducible to such balanced leaf language unless the polynomial hierarchy collapses to Θp2 and that Σ p 2-complete sets are not polynomial-time bounded-truth-table reducible (respectively, polynomial-time Turing reducible) to any ...

We compared the oral glucose tolerance test (I) as evaluated by six commonly used scoring methods and total glycohemoglobin assay (II) with respect to their value in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Depending on the evaluation method used for I, 16.7 to 64.3% of those subjects diagnosed as diabetic or borderline by this test were judged to be normal by II. The best agreement was between II a...
