Serum was stored for the determination of leptin and glucose. We found that there were more female than male diabetes patients with comorbid depression. Fasting leptin was higher in normal weight non-diabetes women than men; but comparable in normal weight men and women diabetes patients. Fasting...
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 ...
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 compo
Normal physiology Blood levels of glucose are tightly regulated within a narrow range to avoid hypoglycemia andhyperglycemiaas both conditions have adverse life threatening consequences.Glucose tolerancerefers to the ability to metabolize exogenous glucose and return to baselinenormoglycemia.

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...
and insulin which decreases blood levels. If bloodglucose levelsfall below the normal range (hypoglycemia) a person may feel lethargic and experience impaired mental functioning, or even brain damage in extreme cases. Chronic high blood levels (hyperglycemia) may implicate diabetes, which can be acco...
Notably, the stripping agent was not utilized for the FT3 and FT4 tests. TSH (reference range, 0.34–5.6 µIU/mL), on the other hand, was measured using a two-site, immune-enzymatic ("sandwich") assay of the third generation, and its concentration was determined using a multi-point ...
Subjects were referred for endoscopy after complaints of heartburn, dyspepsia, bloating, abdominal pain, nausea without vomiting, reflux, gas, and regurgitation. Participants had no known duodenal pathology and were observed to have normal duodenal mucosa by visual inspection during the endoscopy. The ...
