teucrium polium can reduce serum glucose. there are few reports in the literature related to this subject and the resolution of this mechanism requires further experiments. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of teucrium polium aerial parts extracts on oral glucose tolerance tests and pancreas histology in streptozocin-induced diabetic rats. in order to prepare the aqueous ...

background: gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is the most common metabolic complications of pregnancy and causes fetal mortality and morbidity. therefore early diagnosis of gdm is necessary to reduce maternal and fetal morbidity and to help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes objective: this prospective study was carried out to determine the incidence of gdm in yazd and to assess th...

BACKGROUND In cystic fibrosis, highly variable glucose tolerance is suspected. However, no study provided within-patient coefficients of variation. The main objective of this short report was to evaluate within-patient variability of oral glucose tolerance. METHODS In total, 4,643 standardized oral glucose tolerance tests of 1,128 cystic fibrosis patients (median age at first test: 15.5 [11.5...

THE PLASMA GLUCOSE AND BLOOD PYRUVATE LEVELS WERE DETERMINED AFTER ORAL GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST IN SIX GROUPS OF WOMEN: non-obese and obese controls and in non-obese and obese women receiving glucocorticoid or oral contraceptive therapy. The mean fasting plasma glucose level was similar in all groups, but glucose tolerance was impaired in the obese controls, non-obese women on oral contraceptive...

The hepatoportal area is an important glucohomeostatic metabolic sensor, sensing hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). We have reported previously that activation of hepatoportal sensors by intraportal infusion of glucose and GLP-1 or by subcutaneous administration of GLP-1 receptor activator exenatide and of intraportal glucose improved glycemia ind...

OBJECTIVE We investigated the natural history of glucokinase (GCK)-related maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2 (MODY2), notably the factors associated with deterioration of hyperglycemia over time. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We report an 11-year follow-up of glucose tolerance and indexes of insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity derived from oral glucose tolerance tests in 33 MODY...

Background: Environmental pollutants including organophosphate insecticides impair glucose metabolism by altering hepatic oxidation and play an important role in the development of diabetes and its complications. The aim of this study was to assess the impacts of repeated oral doses of Diazinon, an organophosphate insecticide, which is known to impair the glucose metabolism and its tolerance th...
