Serial changes in circulating triglyceride, free fatty acids (FFA), insulin, and glucose have been measured in human subjects fed sucrose as the sole source of calories for 2- or 3-day periods. The sucrose was given either during the day with overnight fasting (19 subjects) or as continual 3-hour meals during the day and night (seven subjects). Insulin was infused overnight in five additional s...

carnitine is a water-soluble quaternary amine which increases the long-chain fatty acid metabolism by facilitation of their transport to the oxidation site (mitochondria). carnitine most likely is present in all animal species, in many microorganisms, and in many plants. in this study, we determined the carnitine level of sera in pregnant and non-pregnant women by segade modified method. averag...

OBJECTIVE The association between changes in triglyceride concentrations over time and diabetes is unknown. We assessed whether two triglyceride determinations obtained 5 years apart can predict incident type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Triglyceride levels at baseline (time 1) and 5 years later (time 2), followed by subsequent follow-up of 5.5 years, were measured in 13,953 appare...
