The Effect of Dehydration on Metabolism and Energy Substrate Utilization
… or overweight. Participants completed two oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) after being intravenously infused with a isotonic or hypertonic saline solution for 120 minutes in a counter balanced order. All trials began with a euhydrated subject with a urine specific gravity (USG)</p>

Carbohydrate and Fat Supplementation in Grazing Mares and Foals
… bone evaluations, milk composition and glucose tolerance tests. These studies suggest that fiber may be an important component of an ideal supplement for improved grass/legume pastures. Seasonal variation in pasture indicated an increase in hydrolyzable and rapidly fermed carbohydrates …

Measuring insulin sensitivity and the effect of alternative dietary interventions and exercise on metabolic control
… it was demonstrated that the oral glucose tolerance test can be a reliable tool to measure insulin sensitivity following adequate dietary and exercise control. Acute and chronic cinnamon ingestion was shown to improve insulin sensitivity. Feeding frequency was found to alter insulin …

Influence of Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms on Changes in Insulin Sensitivity with Aerobic Exercise Training
… Subjects were genotyped and underwent oral glucose tolerance tests before and after six months of training. Due to mis-genotyping of the BsmI polymorphism, results for that variant were not reported. There were no significant differences between FokI genotype groups in insulin sensitivity …

The Role of the Parotid Salivary Glands in the Regulation of Insulin Secretion
… were examined for effects on fasting plasma glucose and insulin or effects on intravenous glucose tolerance in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Basal glucose and insulin were substantially elevated as a result of the stress of translocation in large animals, but were not altered in small animals. A …

The effect of glucose regulation on cognitive functioning in a healthy sample of older adults
Type II diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) are both associated with cognitive impairment and an increased risk of dementia, and normal aging has been shown to be accompanied by abnormalities in glucose regulation. The present study was conducted to determine if variations in cognitive …

Genetic and Metabolic Markers for the Development of Diabetes after Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
… a regional screening programme in which oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) are routinely offered to all pregnant women. The prevalence of MODY mutations among women with GDM and a family history of diabetes was found to be 5%. Arabian women were more insulin resistant than Scandinavian women …

Resveratrol: therapeutic role in metabolic and reproductive function in obese broodmares
… every other day. Frequently-sampled intravenous glucose tolerance tests were conducted pre- and post- treatment. Insulin and glucose kinetics were analyzed via minimal model. Resveratrol supplementation had no discernible effect on reproductive parameters (P>0.05), however obese mares had more (6 …

Chromium (III) complexes and their relationship to the glucose tolerance factor : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry at Massey University
Two forms of the dinicotinate complex Cr(nic)2(H2O)3OH were formed which were yellow and blue, respectively. For the yellow form the nicotinic acid ligands were coordinated via the pyridine ring nitrogen atom but this complex was biologically inactive, while for the blue form nicotinic acid was …

Functional responses of cardiac and skeletal muscle mitochondria to short-term obesity: are all obesities the same?
… versus their respective lean controls. Glucose tolerance tests were administered in lean, summer active squirrels (summer); hyperphagic obese, pre-hibernation period squirrels (prehib); and 5-week-old leptin-deficient (ob) and control (WT) C57-BL6J mice prior to sacrifice. …

The Effect of Slowly Digesting Carbohydrates on Abnormal Glucose Tolerance Curves
… the effect of slowly digesting food on the glucose tolerance curves of patients who had abnormal blood sugar levels.</p> <p>The experimental method was used. Patients were selected by criteria which included certain symptomology and background of diabetic history. Fifty-two patients were …

The effects of post-term birth, hyperemesis gravidarum, and birth order on childhood metabolism and body composition
… or preterm. In this thesis, glucose homeostasis and body composition (amongst other assessments) were evaluated in three under-explored groups of children, i.e. those i) born post-term (≥42 weeks gestation), ii) born of mothers who suffered from severe hyperemesis gravidarum, …

SIRT6 Overexpression Protects Against Diet-Induced Diabetes in Mice
… effects including reduced adiposity and improved glucose homeostasis, as well as enhanced insulin and leptin sensitivity. Conversely, chronic feeding on high caloric diets brings about opposite outcomes and can progress to type-II-diabetes and obesity. An intense effort by many researchers has …

Clinical feasibility of Raman spectroscopy for quantitative blood glucose measurement
… worldwide, and close monitoring of blood glucose levels is crucial for its diagnosis and management. Currently, blood glucose monitoring is done by blood withdrawal or through invasive access to the interstitial fluid. While Raman spectroscopy has been studied as a possible non-invasive …

Angiotensin II receptor blockade and insulin sensitivity in overweight and obese adults with elevated blood pressure
… activity. To test our hypothesis, intravenous glucose tolerance tests were performed to measure insulin sensitivity before and after control and ARB treatment in a randomized crossover manner. Because skeletal muscle tissue accounts for ~75-90% of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, a secondary …

Clinical and pathological characterization of a novel transgenic animal model of diabetes mellitus expressing a dominant negative glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR dn)
… diabetes mellitus expressing a dominant negative glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR dn) Gastrointestinal hormones like glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide have recently been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus in humans and animals models …

An Evaluation of Diagnostic Approaches for Gestational Diabetes Screening in South Africa
… of using point of-care (POC) capillary glucose measures for GDM screening and explores potential strategies to increase screening capacity by eliminating the reliance on central laboratory facilities or reducing the time spent at antenatal facilities for mothers. Objectives: The …

The effects of melatonin injection on glucose tolerance in intact and pinealectomized laboratory rats
… inhibits MAO activity and thereby reduces glucose mediated insulin release. The objective of this work is to investigate the effects of melatonin on insulin release, and on glucose mediated insulin release in the intact and in the pinealectomized rat.
