hyperglycemia/obesity

OBJECTIVE Diabetes during pregnancy is a strong risk factor for obesity in the offspring, but the age at which this association becomes apparent is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the relation of glycemia during pregnancy with anthropometry in offspring of nondiabetic pregnant

Type 1 diabetes is characterized by insulin deficiency, type 2 by both insulin deficiency and insulin resistance: in both conditions, hyperglycaemia is accompanied by an increased cardiovascular risk, due to increased atherosclerotic plaque formation/instabilization and impaired collateral vessel

New Zealand obese (NZO) mice present a metabolic syndrome of obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. To identify chromosomal segments associated with these traits, we intercrossed NZO mice with the lean and diabetes-resistant C57BL/6J (B6) strain. Obesity and hyperglycemia in the (NZO x B6)F2

Although patients with type 2 diabetes show no bone mineral density (BMD) reduction, fracture risks are known to increase. It is unclear why the patients have an increased risk of fracture despite sufficient BMD. We investigated the relationships of body mass index (BMI), HbA(1c), and urinary

OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between abdominal obesity/pre-obesity and hyperglycemia in postmenopausal women. METHODS A total of 323 women aged than 35 years or older and with natural menopause more than 12 months were selected from Suzhou Industrial Park in 2014 community comprehensive

Blood glucose and rectal temperatures were monitored in two strains of genetically obese mice (C57 BL/6J ob/ob) prior to and following intragastric ethanol administration in an attempt to relate the hypothermic response to ethanol to extracellular glucose concentration. In contrast to expectation,

OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between sleep duration and risk of hyperglycemia among preschool Chinese children. METHODS A population-based cross-sectional study. METHODS Seventy-one randomly selected kindergartens in Tianjin, China. METHODS Six hundred nineteen obese (body mass index z

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether age influences the association between obesity and hyperglycemia. METHODS The subjects were 57,576 Japanese male and female workers aged 35-70 years. The associations of adiposity indices, including BMI, waist circumference, and

As a new mouse model of obesity-induced diabetes generated by combining quantitative trait loci from New Zealand Obese (NZO/HlLt) and Nonobese Nondiabetic (NON/LtJ) mice, NONcNZO10/LtJ (RCS10) male mice developed type 2 diabetes characterized by maturity onset obesity, hyperglycemia, and insulin

Obesity is associated with increased inflammation. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a proinflammatory molecule, and alpha1-antitrypsin is an inflammation-sensitive plasma protein. Proinflammatory process may be influenced by postprandial hyperglycemia. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to

A sub-strain of male and female spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) capable of having massively obese or non-obese offspring were bred repeatedly or were maintained as virgin controls. When the male and female breeders had sired or given birth to 5 litters of young, they were autopsied along with

Pancreatic islets isolated from adult obese rats, obtained by neonatal treatment with monosodium L-glutamate (MSG), oversecrete insulin stimulated by glucose concentration. Whereas adult MSG obese rats are hyperinsulinemic, their pancreatic islets still secrete insulin after high glucose demand.

OBJECTIVE To describe the impact of abdominal obesity and hepatic insulin resistance on phase-specific glycemic responses in older women. METHODS We studied 23 healthy older women (60-88 years old). Abdominal obesity was defined by an abdominal circumference > or =95 cm. Plasma glucose and insulin

The relationship between beta-endorphin(beta-EP)/beta-lipotropin(beta-LP) and insulin secretion in the basal state and after glucose challenge was studied in obese male Zucker rats and their lean littermates. Baseline plasma beta-EP/beta-LP concentrations were similar in the two groups of animals.
