Effect of intermittent hypoxia on plasma glucose levels during an oral glucose tolerance test [PDF]
Hypoxia triggers glucose uptake independently from the action of insulin. The purpose of this study was to determine the acute effect of intermittent hypoxia, defined as alternating short bouts of breathing hypoxic and room air, on plasma glucose levels ...

High prevalence of undiagnosed impaired glucose tolerance in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Objectives: Although the risk of diabetes mellitus has been recognised in rheumatoid arthritis, undiagnosed dysglycaemia remained under-reported. The study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of dysglycaemia among patients with ...

Metabolic profiling of the response to an oral glucose tolerance test detects subtle metabolic changes. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of overweight is increasing globally and has become a serious health problem. Low-grade chronic inflammation in overweight subjects is thought to play an important role in disease development.

Glucoregulatory and order effects on verbal episodic memory in healthy adolescents after oral glucose administration [PDF]
The ingestion of oral glucose has been observed to facilitate memory performance in both elderly individuals and in young adults. However, fewer studies have investigated the effect of glucose on memory in children or adolescents.

Bivariate genetic modelling of the response to an oral glucose tolerance challenge: A gene x environment interaction approach [PDF]
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Twin and family studies have shown the importance of genetic factors influencing fasting and 2 h glucose and insulin levels. However, the genetics of the physiological response to a glucose load has not been thoroughly investigated ...

HbA1c versus oral glucose tolerance test as a method to diagnose diabetes mellitus in vascular surgery patients [PDF]
Background: The diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) is based on either fasting plasma glucose levels or an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Recently, an HbA1c value of ≥48 mmol/mol (6.5%) has been included as an additional test to diagnose DM.

Clinical Chemistry (Glucose Tolerance Test)
This programme is intended as a compendium of modules on procedures in clinical chemistry. At present, the only completed module is one concerning the conduct and interpretation of the glucose tolerance test (GTT). In a GTT, glucose is adminstered to the

Normal Glucose Tolerance with a High 1-Hour Postload Plasma Glucose Level Exhibits Decreased β-Cell Function Similar to Impaired Glucose Tolerance [PDF]
BackgroundSubjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) who have a high 1-hour postload plasma glucose level (≥155 mg/dL; NGT 1 hour-high) have been shown to be at higher risk for type 2 diabetes than subjects with NGT 1 hour-low postload plasma glucose ...

Recurrent reactive hypoglycemia due to clozapine‐induced glucose intolerance: A case report
Background Although diabetes is one of the most common side effects of clozapine, a medication for the treatment of schizophrenia, to the best of our knowledge no study exists on clozapine‐induced glucose intolerance or hypoglycemia in patients with ...
