some recent studies have revealed the relationship among excess ferritin, coronary heart disease, and insulin resistance. to assess the association between serum ferritin concentration and impaired fasting glucose, this study was designed. a total of 187 people including 91 impaired fasting glucose (ifg) subjects and 96 normal glucose subjects who had been recognized in a large epidemiological ...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the associations of hyperfiltration and hypofiltration with prediabetes and prehypertension. METHODS The study subjects included 99 140 people aged 20-89 years who underwent health checkups in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The prevalence of hyperfiltration [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) above the age-/sex-specific 95th percentile] and hypofi...

Dopaminergic signaling is one of the regulatory pathways being investigated for its implication in glucose metabolism. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of cabergoline on biochemical and anthropometric parameters in prediabetes stage (impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance). In this double blind, placebo-controlled, pilot study, 27 prediabetic adults were random...

Although the number of U.S. adults diagnosed with diabetes has decreased in recent years, about 1.4 million new cases of diabetes were diagnosed in Americans aged 18 to 79 in 2014, and that number remains near historic highs. But the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes in the United States is dwarfed by the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes and prediabetes (Figure 1). As of 2012, about 21 million...

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by mitochondrial derangement and oxidative stress. With no known cure for T2D, it is critical to identify mitochondrial biomarkers for early diagnosis of prediabetes and disease prevention. Here we examined 87 participants on the diagnosis power of fasting glucose (FG) and hemoglobin A1c levels and investigated their interactions with mitochondrial DNA met...

Background. Prediabetes is a preclinical stage in the hyperglycemia continuum where subjects are at increased risk of developing diabetes. Several studies reported a positive association between markers of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and diabetes. However, few studies investigated the relationship between SDB markers and prediabetes. Methods. We examined 5,685 participants ≥20 years from t...

BACKGROUND Adiponectin levels display ethnic disparities, and are inversely associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, the association of adiponectin with prediabetes risk in diverse populations has not been well-studied. Here, we assessed baseline adiponectin levels in relation to incident prediabetes in a longitudinal biracial cohort. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Pathob...

OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a risk score model for recognizing prediabetes among Indonesian adults in primary care. METHODS This was a cross-sectional diagnostic study. After excluding subjects with diabetes from Indonesian National Basic Health Survey (INBHS) data set, 21,720 subjects who have completed fasting plasma glucose test and aged >18 years were selected for development stage....
