Sex and age-adjusted HRs (95% CIs) for all-cause mortality in (a) all participants, (b) men and (c) women were plotted on a logarithmic scale. BMI thresholds are in kg/m2. Reference group: FBG 4.44–5.2 mmol/l and BMI 25–27.4 kg/m2 Full size image People with BMI <20 kg/...
Differences between sexes contribute to variation in the levels of fasting glucose and insulin. Epidemiological studies established a higher prevalence of impaired fasting glucose in men and impaired glucose tolerance in women, however, the genetic component underlying this phenomenon is not established. ...
Unadjusted IO and IM levels were significantly higher in men than in women (51 vs 44 and 303 vs 231 pM--antilogs of log-normalized values). Insulin levels, adjusted for differences in age, % Body Fat, WHR, and GM by analysis of covariance, however, showed no sex differences (49 vs ...
This clinical study was conducted to investigate the safety and effect of D-psicose on postprandial blood glucose levels in adult men and women, including borderline diabetes patients. A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled crossover experiment of single ingestion was conducted on 26 subjects who...
Glucose and fatty acids are the major sources of energy for human body. Cholesterol, the most abundant sterol in mammals, is a key component of cell membranes although it does not generate ATP. The metabolisms of glucose, fatty acids and cholesterol are often intertwined and regulated. For exa...
Sex differences in the association of endogenous sex hormone levels and glucose tolerance status in older men and women Some evidence suggests an inverse association between type 2 diabetes and androgens in men and a positive association between type 2 diabetes and androgens...

Tangshan 063000, China and 3Health Department of Kailuan (group), Tangshan 063000, China Background: To investigate the association between fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels and the risk of incident primary liver cancer (PLC) in Chinese males, a large prospective cohort was performed in the cu...
We evaluate the influence of the time interval from the last meal on the blood glucose response to exercise in men with type 2 diabetes. Nineteen men with type 2 diabetes participated in an exercise training program carried out at 60% of maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2peak ) for 1 h, 3 ...

For the glucose tolerance test (GTT), after overnight starvation (16 h), mice were administered glucose (2 g/kg body weight) intraperitoneally. Blood glucose levels were measured at 0, 30, 60, and 120 min post-injection using the glucometer (Roche Diagnostics Accu-Chek). Serum was...
