Association between one-hour post-load plasma glucose levels and vascular stiffness in essential hypertension [PDF]
Objectives: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a surrogate end-point for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A plasma glucose value $155 mg/dl for the 1-hour post-load plasma glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is able to identify ...

Ethnic differences in cross-sectional associations between impaired glucose regulation, identified by oral glucose tolerance test or HbA1c values, and cardiovascular disease in a cohort of European and South Asian origin [PDF]
Aims We contrasted impaired glucose regulation (prediabetes) prevalence, defined according to oral glucose tolerance test or HbA1c values, and studied cross-sectional associations between prediabetes and subclinical/clinical cardiovascular disease (CVD ...

The impact of sprint interval training frequency on blood glucose control and physical function of older adults [PDF]
Exercise is a powerful tool for improving health in older adults, but the minimum frequency required is not known. This study sought to determine the effect of training frequency of sprint interval training (SIT) on health and physical function in older ...

Evaluation of glucose tolerance in cystic fibrosis: Comparison of 50-g and 75-g tests [PDF]
BackgroundThe recommended tests for evaluation of glucose tolerance in cystic fibrosis are the fasting blood glucose (FBG) and the 75-g, fasting, 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). We compared a 50 g, non-fasting, 1-h glucose challenge test (GCT) to

The effect of prednisone on pancreatic islet autografts in dogs [PDF]
Prednisone was shown to induce hyperglycemia in dogs submitted to total pancreatectomy and pancreatic islet autotransplantation. The hyperglycemia caused by a 10-day course of prednisone, 1 mg/kg/day, starting on the day of operation was reversible ...
