Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder associated with hyperandrogenism marked with hirsutism and ovarian dysfunction. These conditions may lead to the risk of insulin resistance (IR), type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. These conditions are related to PCOS complications hence our aim was to study and investigate the relationship between high-sens...

1. Glucose Control in Korean Immigrants with Type II Diabetes: (ABSTRACT) Despite the rising incidence of type II diabetes in Korean immigrants, little is known about glucose control in these individuals. This descriptive study examined factors influencing glucose control in Korean immigrants with type II diabetes. Participants were 143 Korean immigrants with type II diabetes who completed ques...

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to examine the relationship between shortened activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and increased fibrinogen values with diabetes mellitus. METHODS APTT, prothrombin time (PT), fibrinogen, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were measured in 1,300 patients. Patients were divided into three groups according to the...

The percentage of glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (% HbA1c) in human whole blood indicates the average plasma glucose concentration over a prolonged period of time and is used to diagnose diabetes. Currently, common laboratory methods to recognize glycated proteins are high-performance liquid chromatography, immunoassay and electrophoresis. The accuracy and the precision of A1c assays at least matc...

INTRODUCTION One of the potential sources for the occurrence of various systemic pathologies, such as cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, and respiratory diseases is periodontitis. Testing of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA) is a highly standardized procedure and is becoming increasingly popular these days due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of use. Literature quotes numerous stu...

Background/aim: The changes of glycosylated hemoglobin Hb A1c and VO2max values have been considered as an important marker of glucose control over time. Exercise training intervention is underused in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in East Africa. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of aerobic exercise program on HbA1c and VO2 max values in type 2 diabetic patient...

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that glycosylation of hemoglobin constitutes a risk factor for hypertension. METHODS A total of 129 relative uniform diabetic subjects (86 women and 42 men) were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. Exclusion criteria included alcohol consumption, smoking, ischemic heart disease, stroke, neoplasia, renal, hepatic, and chronic inflammatory disease. Systolic and...
