A novel synthetic model of the glucose-insulin system for patient-wise inference of physiological parameters from small-size OGTT data
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
Existing mathematical models for the glucose-insulin (G-I) dynamics often involve variables that are not susceptible to direct measurement. Standard clinical tests for measuring G-I levels for diagnosing potential diseases ...
True insulin and intact proinsulin levels in acromegalic patients
(Bioscientifica Ltd, 1996-05-01)
To determine whether proinsulin (PT) contributes significantly to the immunoreactive insulin (IRI) concentrations in acromegalics, we measure PI, ''true insulin'' and IRI in a group of acromegalics compared with a control ...

(Karger, 2014)
Objective: To determine whether oral glucose tolerance
tests (OGTT) play a role as predictors of preeclampsia (PET)
in pregnant women. Methods: A retrospective case-control

Platelet Serotonin Levels Are Associated with Plasma Soluble Leptin Receptor Concentrations in Normoglycemic Women
(2019)
Most peripheral serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT)) is synthetized in the gut with platelets being its main circulating reservoir. 5HT is acting as a hormone in key organs to regulate glucose and lipid metabolism. However, ...
The simultaneous assessment of glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting plasma glucose and oral glucose tolerance test does not improve the detection of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Colombian adults
(2018-04-13)
Guidelines recommend early detection of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). The objective of the present study was to evaluate the capacity to identify DM2 in subjects that were screened for DM2 simultaneously with all three ...
Efeitos adversos quando da realização do teste de tolerância oral à glicose em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2013-04-24)
The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is one of the methods used to diagnose type 2 diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes, and is the World Health Organizations method of choice. The OGTT is frequently requested after ...
