Glucose is an important energy source for your brain and body. Your body converts carbohydrates and simple sugars in your diet to glucose for fuel usage. Your pancreas releases a hormone called insulin to regulate blood glucose levels. According to the American Diabetes Association, a normal fasti...
Background: Data are limited on pregnancy outcomes of normal glucose tolerant (NGT) women with a low glycemic value measured during the 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Our aim was to evaluate maternal characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of NGT women with low gl...

Fasting leptin was higher in normal weight non-diabetes women than men; but comparable in normal weight men and women diabetes patients. Fasting glucose levels were higher in diabetes than non diabetes groups; values were comparable in men and women. Depression was associated with a decrease and ...
However, for individuals with FBG in the hyperglycaemic range (≥6.1 mmol/l), the risk for BMI 22.5–24.9 kg/m2 was greater than that for BMI 25–27.4 kg/m2. People with high prediabetes and low normal weight had similar or higher mortality than people with low FBG diabetes and BMI ...
Insulin levels in plasma were determined by the method of HALES and RANDLE [9]. The Kt of infants of normal women (0.44 to 2.31, with a mean of 1.16) during the first hour after a glucose load differed little from that of infants ofnon-insulin-treated diabetic mothers (1.51 to 1.93, ...
it takes 3h for a return to baselineglucose levels. In subjects withIGT, there is usually also a peak at 30min, albeit at a higher level than innormal subjects, but the main difference versus normal subjects is that the glucose disposal is impaired, which results in a higher 2-h glucose...
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. ...
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...
If the FPG was in the range of 100–126 mg dl − 1 and the 2-h PG was o140 mg dl − 1, it was considered as impaired fasting glucose (IFG), whereas if the FPG was below 100 mg dl − 1 and the 2-h PG o140 mg dl − 1, it was considered a sign of normal ...
