Retrospective analysis of pregnancies at the Grootte Schuur Hospital : a comparison of pregnancy outcomes in pre-gestational and gestational diabetes
Although the treatment of gestational impaired glucose tolerance (GIGT) has been shown to be beneficial, the cost implications in treating GIGT in resource constrained economies needs examination. Thus this study assessed: (i) pregnancy outcomes in pre-gesational types 1 and 2 diabetes (DM) with …

The role of genetic variation and DNA methylation in human glucose metabolism and type 2 diabetes
… DNA methylation and common genetic variation on glucose metabolism and the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Reduced oxidative capacity of the mitochondria in skeletal muscle has been suggested to play a role in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In studies I and II, we investigated the …

Effect of Human Placental Extract on Menopausal Symptom Scale, Fatigue Scale, and Risk Factors of Cardiovascular Disease
… and risk factors of cardiovascular disease (fasting plasma glucose, insulin, markers of insulin resistance, lipid levels, and hs-CRP) were measured at baseline and at the end of the study. RESULTS: 6 subjects were dropped during study period in total 84 subjects. So, the number of subjects …

Optimizing the food guide pyramid to increase fat oxidation in young adult men
… diet containing lower GI foods would lower blood glucose and insulin levels and increase fat oxidation (FOX) compared with a diet consisting of higher GI foods. Secondly, I tested the hypothesis that variability in resting FOX would predict FOX during moderate exercise after consuming the lower …

The prevalence and determinants of active tuberculosis among diabetes patients attending a primary health care clinic in Cape Town, South Africa
… There were no significant differences in either fasting plasma glucose or HbA1c levels between TB and non - TB DM participants. Discussion Prevalence of TB among DM population was higher than in the general population based on national estimates, highlighting an important DM - TB association in …

Serum 1, 5 Anhydroglucitol and Glycated Haemoglobin as Markers of Hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia
… monitoring of diabetes has long been premised on fasting blood glucose and a hemoglobin-dependent biomarker, glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), a variant of hemoglobin A. However, adjuncts to these markers, such as 1,5 anhydroglucitol (1,5AG), have since been introduced as surrogate markers for …

Role of PARK2Gene in Maintenance of Pancreatic Beta Cell Functions
… (SNPs) in the 28 mitophagy-related genes with glucose- and insulin-related quantitative traits in the Korean study cohort (7,551 subjects), I found that two SNPs, rs10455889 and rs9365294, in the PARK2 gene encoding an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase (parkin) were significantly associated with …
