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 Effect of Osmotic Stimulation of Copeptin on Glucose Metabolism in Healthy Adults
… However, it is unknown whether this effect on glucose regulation is acute or chronic. Furthermore, no study to date assessed the effects of copeptin independent of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Purpose: The purpose of these studies was therefore two-fold: 1) to establish high …

The Effect of Cellular Dehydration on Glucose Regulation in Lean and Obese Females
… level has been associated with an impaired glucose regulation system in humans. A recent study in patients with diabetes suggested that low water intake is associated with impaired glucose regulation. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of hypertonic saline infusion on glucose …

The effects of R(+)-lipoic acid supplementation on regulation of human skeletal muscle pyruvate dehydrogenase
This thesis investigated whole body glucose disposal and the adaptive changes in skeletal muscle carbohydrate metabolism following 28 d of supplementation with 1000 mg R(+)-lipoic acid in young sedentary males (age, 22.1 ± 0.67 yr, body mass, 78.7 ± 10.3 kg, n=9). In certain individuals, lipoic …

Obesity and endothelial dysfunction: mechanisms, method development and interventions
… and use CEU to measure the MBV response to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). No differences were observed in exercise-induced increases in MBV or resting MBV between control and low FA conditions created by niacin ingestion in lean and obese individuals. NIRS was not suited to measure …

The individual and combined effects of whey protein and acute aerobic exercise on glycemic control
… aerobic exercise and whey protein on plasma glucose, insulin, gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP), glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP-1), and glucagon in normal, healthy men. Eleven males (mean ± SD age: 24.3 ± 5.4 years; BMI: 26.0 ± 5.3 kg/m2; HbA1c: 5.2 ± 0.2 %; VO2 max: 38.3 ± 6.1 ml/kg/min) …

Dietary manipulation causes childhood obesity-like characteristics in pigs
… At wk 15 and 22, pigs were subjected to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT); blood glucose increased (P < 0.05) in control pigs and returned to baseline levels within 60 min. HED pigs were hyperglycemic at time 0, and blood glucose did not return to baseline (P = 0.01), even 3 h …

Metabolic alterations in patients with self-inflicted aggressive behaviour
… enlighten the role of leptin, insulin, glucagon, glucose and IL-1beta in the context of self-inflicted aggressive behaviour. We used cerebrospinal fluid (CSF-) samples from patients with a recent suicide attempt and plasma samples from a five-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in women with …

The metabolic sequelae of oesophago-gastric resection
… patient population. In the surgical groups, an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) resulted in enhanced secretion of satiety and incretin gut hormones (GLP-1, GIP, PYY) and insulin, followed by hypoglycaemia in a cohort of patients. Continuous glucose monitoring of gastrectomy participants over …

Gestational diabetes mellitus – prevalence in southern Sweden and risk factors for subsequent diabetes
… population characteristics. Results: Capillary glucose concentrations were found to be higher than venous glucose concentrations during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) after pregnancy (n = 55). Equivalence values for capillary glucose concentrations tended to be higher than those proposed by …

Cassia cinnamon and acute endurance exercise for the enhancement of glucose uptake in healthy young women.
… cellulose placebo and endurance exercise on an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) blood glucose (BG), serum insulin (SI) values, fasting HOMA insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and Matsuda insulin sensitivity (Mat-ISI). On three separate days, 10 women (22.7 ± 4 years, BMI of 35.39 ± 5.36) reported to …

Dépistage précoce du diabète gestationnel

The acute effects of l-Leucine and l-Isoleucine on glycemic responses in healthy and inactive adults
… been shown to blunt the elevated post-prandial glucose response. It has been suggested that AA may facilitate secretion of hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) that are 50-70% responsible for regulating insulin secretion. The purpose of this …

GENERAL ORAL GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST DURING PREGNANCY, AN OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVED PREGNANCY OUTCOME AND IMPROVED FUTURE HEALTH.
… describe a reliable routine to diagnose abnormal glucose tolerance during pregnancy, to investigate women’s opinions of the specialist care provided, to determine the prevalence of diabetes one year after giving birth, and to elucidate the effect of abnormal glucose tolerance on pregnancy outcome …

Proteomic Signatures of Type 2 Diabetes and Related Metabolic Traits

Hemoglobin A1C and the Diagnosis of Diabetes and Prediabetes in Children and Adolescents
… adopted the use of the glycated hemoglobin (A1C) test as a method of diabetes and prediabetes diagnosis, the ADA has not developed firm guidelines concerning the use of the A1C test in children and adolescents, as research has not validated thresholds in this group. Diabetes and prediabetes are …
