Journal ArticleDOI

Albiglutide and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (Harmony Outcomes): a double-blind, randomised placebo-controlled trial

Adrian F. Hernandez, +798 more
- 27 Oct 2018 - 
TL;DR: In patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, albiglutide was superior to placebo with respect to major adverse cardiovascular events, and evidence-based glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists should be considered as part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of the oral glucose tolerance test to assess insulin release and insulin sensitivity.

Michael Stumvoll, +7 more
- 01 Mar 2000 - 
TL;DR: Predicting insulin sensitivity and insulin release with reasonable accuracy from simple demographic parameters and values obtained during an OGTT is possible and should be used in various clinical settings in which the use of clamps or the minimal model would be impractical.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Reduced Suppression of Glucose Production and Diminished Early Insulin Release in Impaired Glucose Tolerance

Asimina Mitrakou, +6 more
- 02 Jan 1992 - 
TL;DR: Impaired glucose tolerance, the precursor of NIDDM, results primarily from reduced suppression of hepatic glucose output due to abnormal pancreatic islet-cell function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hierarchy of glycemic thresholds for counterregulatory hormone secretion, symptoms, and cerebral dysfunction

Asimina Mitrakou, +8 more
- 01 Jan 1991 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that there is a distinct hierarchy of responses to decrements in plasma glucose, such that the threshold for activation of counterregulatory hormone secretion occurs at higher plasma glucose levels than that for initiation of autonomic warning symptoms, which in turn occurs for onset of neuroglycopenic symptoms and deterioration in cerebral function.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Effects of Calcium and Vitamin D Supplementation on Blood Glucose and Markers of Inflammation in Nondiabetic Adults: Response to Pittas et al.

Symeon Tournis, +1 more
- 01 Jul 2007 - 
TL;DR: In their recent article, Pittas et al. reported on the effect of calcium and vitamin D supplementation on glycemic status in nondiabetic elderly subjects and Vitamin D supplementation in subjects with relatively low vitamin D levels, improves muscle strength.
