Background:The process of inflammation induces hepatic synthesis of various acute phase proteins such as high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) which is believed to play a role in insulin resistance. Higher incidence of type-2 diabetes mellitus has been observed with high levels of hs-CRP. Objectives: The present case control study was under taken to 1. Find the serum hs-CRP levels in type 2 DM patients, 2. Find the serum hs-CRP levels in healthy controls, 3. Compare hs-CRP level
Background: Pregnancy is a complex endocrine-metabolic adaptation and diabetogenic condition involving impaired cellular insulin sensitivity, increased β-cell function, and moderate elevation of blood glucose level. The threshold for a positive glucose challenge test (GCT) necessitating further diagnostic testing remains controversial in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Aims & Objective: To find the association of risk factors with GDM, to evaluate the diagnostic value of GCT as compared to oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in GDM, and also to determine the optimal cutoff value of GCT with best sensitivity and specificity for the prediction of GDM and also to find the association of GCT between FBS and 2 nd hour OGTT glucose level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
