Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Thomas A. Buchanan,Anny H. Xiang +1 more
TL;DR: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance of various degrees that is first detected during pregnancy and provides a unique opportunity to study the early pathogenesis of diabetes and to develop interventions to prevent the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preservation of Pancreatic Beta-Cell Function and Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes by Pharmacological Treatment of Insulin Resistance in High-Risk Hispanic Women
Thomas A. Buchanan,Anny H. Xiang,Ruth Peters,Siri L. Kjos,Aura Marroquin,Jose Goico,Cesar Ochoa,Sylvia Tan,Kathleen Berkowitz,Howard N. Hodis,Stanley P. Azen +10 more
TL;DR: Protection from diabetes in the troglitazone group was closely related to the degree of reduction in endogenous insulin requirements 3 months after randomization and persisted 8 months after study medications were stopped, and was associated with preservation of beta-cell compensation for insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex Distribution, Not Absolute Amount of Adiponectin, Correlates with Thiazolidinedione-mediated Improvement in Insulin Sensitivity
Utpal B. Pajvani,Meredith Hawkins,Terry P. Combs,Michael W. Rajala,Tom Doebber,Joel P. Berger,John A. Wagner,Margaret Wu,Annemie Knopps,Anny H. Xiang,Kristina M. Utzschneider,Steven E. Kahn,Jerrold M. Olefsky,Thomas A. Buchanan,Philipp E. Scherer +14 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that changes in SA in a number of type 2 diabetic cohorts serve as a quantitative indicator of improvements in insulin sensitivity obtained during TZD treatment, whereas changes in total serum adiponectin levels do not correlate well at the individual level.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Better Index of Body Adiposity
Richard N. Bergman,Darko Stefanovski,Thomas A. Buchanan,Anne E. Sumner,James C. Reynolds,Nancy G. Sebring,Anny H. Xiang,Richard M. Watanabe +7 more
TL;DR: A new parameter, the body adiposity index (BAI), which can be calculated from hip circumference and height only, can be used in the clinical setting even in remote locations with very limited access to reliable scales and estimates %adiposity directly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gestational diabetes mellitus: risks and management during and after pregnancy
TL;DR: Lifestyle modification is the primary approach; use of medications for diabetes prevention after GDM remains controversial and family planning enables optimization of health in subsequent pregnancies.
