Relatively Low β-Cell Responsiveness Contributes to the Association of BMI with Circulating Glucose Concentrations Measured under Free-Living Conditions among Pregnant African American Women
Paula C. Chandler-Laney,Desti N. Shepard,Camille R. Schneider,Lee A. Flagg,Wesley M. Granger,Melissa S. Mancuso,Joseph R. Biggio,Barbara A. Gower +7 more
TL;DR: The association of BMI with high circulating glucose in free-living pregnant African American women is at least partially attributable to lower β-cell responsiveness, and DI itself was independently associated with GLUC2hPP after self-selected breakfast and dinner.

Changes in Ghrelin and Glucagon following a Low Glycemic Load Diet in Women with PCOS
Sarah E Hoover,Barbara A. Gower,Yenni E Cedillo,Paula C. Chandler-Laney,Sarah E. Deemer,Amy M. Goss +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 4-week eucaloric low vs high GL diet habituation was found to increase glucagon and decrease ghrelin to reflect greater satiety and improve self-reported fullness in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of collared lemmings to melatonin: I. Implants and photoperiod
TL;DR: Responses of collared lemmings to melatonin to Implants and photoperiod are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alteration of testicular response to long photoperiod by transient exposure to short photoperiod in collared lemmings (Dicrostonyx groenlandicus)
TL;DR: The unique way in which the reproductive system of collared lemmings responds to photoperiod may reflect evolution in an environment where the production of offspring during periods of unchanging long day is not selectively advantageous.
