... pancreas function by intravenous glucose tolerance test (IV-GTT). In fetal pigs, pancreatic insulin and glucagon density was similar between CF and non-CF. In newborn and older pigs, the insulin and glucagon density was unchanged between CF and non-CF per total pancreatic area, but increased per remnant...

... a role in the short-term regulation of blood pressure. 2. We studied six hypertensive patients [blood pressure 161(9)/101(2) mmHg] and seven normotensive control subjects [blood pressure 122(6)/76(4) mmHg], ( P < 0.005) using two oral glucose tolerance tests of 3 h duration. In one of these tests...

... index (inversely related to insulin resistance) obtained using a high-dose (500 mg/kg), unmodified intravenous glucose tolerance test with a 16 point sampling schedule and analysis using the minimal model of glucose disappearance. The two methods were compared in 10 clinically normal subjects and five...

...B. A. Leatherdale; R. A. Chase; J. Rogers; K. G. M. M. Alberti; P. Davies; C. O. Record 1. Oral glucose-tolerance tests (100 g) were carried out in six patients with stable well-compensated cryptogenic cirrhosis and in 12 control subjects. 2. In confirmation of previous studies, patients...

...V. J. Cunningham; D. F. Heath 1. A theoretical investigation of the intravenous glucose tolerance test has been carried out based on recent findings on the kinetics in man of insulin production, distribution, disposal and action, and of glucose turnover and distribution. 2. A good fit to published...
