Glycated proteins, particularly glycated hemoglobin A1c, are important markers for assessing the effectiveness of diabetes treatment. Convenient and reproducible assay systems based on the enzyme fructosyl amino acid oxidase (FAOD) have become attractive alternatives to conventional detection methods. We review the available FAOD-based assays for measurement of glycated proteins as well as the ...

[Purpose] This study determined the effects of passive static stretching on blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. [Subjects] Fifteen patients (8 males and 7 females) with type 2 diabetes were recruited and randomly assigned to the control group or passive static stretching group. [Methods] Glycated hemoglobin was measured before and after the 8-week training period. [Results] G...

Background The glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) test, essential for diabetic patients follow-up, measures the concentrations of glycated hemoglobin in the blood, which can indicate, as they increase in proportion to glucose rates, the possibility of complications of the disease. Furthermore, the test points to the risk of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) development, for concentration values between 5...

Sodium–glucose co transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors decrease glycated hemoglobin levels and have shown favorable effects on kidney cardiovascular outcomes in large clinical trials involving patients with type diabetes. This hemodynamic effect may also preserve function persons diseases due to causes other than
