Global variation in diabetes diagnosis and prevalence based on fasting glucose ...
Zhou, Bin; Sheffer, Kate E.; Bennett, James E.; Gregg, Edward W.; Danaei, Goodarz; Singleton, Rosie K.; Shaw, Jonathan E.; Mishra, AnuFasting plasma glucose (FPG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) are both used to diagnose diabetes, but these measurements can identify different people as having diabetes. We used data from 117 population-based studies and quantified, in different world regions, the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes, and whether those who were previously undiagnosed and detected as having diabetes in survey screening, had elevated FPG,...

Enlarged PLIN5-uncoated lipid droplets in inner regions of skeletal muscle type...
Fachada, Vasco; Rahkila, Paavo; Fachada, Nuno; Turpeinen, Tuomas; Kujala, Urho M.; Kainulainen, HeikkiSkeletal muscle physiology remains of paramount importance in understanding insulin resistance. Due to its high lipid turnover rates, regulation of intramyocellular lipid droplets (LDs) is a key factor. Perilipin 5 (PLIN5) is one of the most critical agents in such regulation, being often referred as a protector against lipotoxicity and consequent skeletal muscle insulin resistance. We examined area fraction, s...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-06-01; Wellcome Trust; Background: Change in the prevalence of raised blood pressure could be due to both shifts in the entire distribution of blood pressure (representing the combined effects of public health interventions and secular trends) and changes in its high-blood-pressure tail (representing successfu...
