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 …

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 …

Measuring insulin sensitivity and the effect of alternative dietary interventions and exercise on metabolic control
… Experimentally, 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 …

The combined effects of acute aerobic exercise and omega-3 supplementation on glucose metabolism in healthy, normoglycemic men
… aerobic exercise and n-3 supplementation on glucose, insulin, and c-peptide concentrations in normoglycemic men. Eleven sedentary, healthy men completed four interventions: rest without n-3 (CON), exercise without n-3 (EX), rest with n-3 (SUP), and exercise with n-3 (EX-SUP). Significant …

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 …

Early Manifestation of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Offspring of Mothers with Previous History of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
… and 96 offspring of mothers with impaired glucose tolerance [IGT]) participated in the study. CVD risk factors included elevated body mass index (BMI), skinfold thickness, body fat, blood pressure, lipid profiles, and glucose values measured with a 2 h oral glucose tolerance test. Results: …

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 prevalence and risk factors of diabetes mellitus among tuberculosis patients at Ubuntu clinic, Khayelitsha
… to assess the prevalence of DM and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and determine the risk factors associated with DM among TB patients. Methods: This cross sectional study forms part of a case control study that aimed to assess the association between DM and TB and the population …

How a structured exercise programme involving cardio and resistance exercise affects type 2 diabetes mellitus volunteers
… epidemic and addressing this is one of the greatest global health challenges of our time. In the UK £10.3 billion or 10% of the NHS budget was spent on diabetes mellitus. It is essential that a prevention approach to T2DM is utilised within the NHS. Aims The aims of this study are to compare …

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 …

Risk faktors for fracture in middle-aged men and women
… were major risk contributors. Impaired glucose tolerance, evaluated through an oral glucose tolerance test, was in both genders associated with a substantially decreased risk of fractures, independent of age, BMI and smoking. This thesis has identified multiple risk factors for …

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 …

Cardiovascular and Autonomic Nervous System Function: Impact of Glucose Ingestion, Hydration Status and Exercise in Heated Environments
… and their relationships with exercise training, glucose ingestion and hydration status. A series of three studies were conducted to gain insight to various influences on cardiovascular and autonomic function. The first study examined the influence of exercise training of brachial artery …

Effects of Leucine on Skeletal Muscle During 14 d Bed Rest in Middle-aged Adults
… 3) insulin area under the curve during an oral glucose tolerance test was unchanged in LEU after BR (21±8%) but elevated in CON (52±23%, p<0.05) and whole body insulin sensitivity in LEU was significantly increased above pre-BR values after 7 d rehabilitation (17±10% vs. CON: -9±9%, …
