Abstract
13Jun 2019 STUDY OF SERUM ADIPONECTIN LEVEL IN IMPAIRED GLUCOSE TOLERANCE SUBJECTS. Poonam Yadav and G.G. Kaushik. M.Sc. (Med.) Student, Department of Biochemistry, J.L.N.

Highlights
The aim of study was to measure serum level of adiponectin in impaired glucose tolerance subjects and compare with healthy control subjects
Serum adiponectin levels were lower in impaired glucose tolerance subjects compared with healthy controls
According to American Diabetes Association (2018), Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is defined as two-hour glucose levels of 140 to 199 mg per dL (7.8 to 11.0 mmol/L) on the 75g oral glucose tolerance test. These glucose levels are above normal but below the level that is diagnostic prevention for diabetes.IGT is commonly associated with both obesity and disturbances in insulin secretion and/or insulin resistance
Summary
The aim of study was to measure serum level of adiponectin in impaired glucose tolerance subjects and compare with healthy control subjects. In this study 120 Impaired Glucose Tolerance and 120 healthy subjects (age and gender matched) were enrolled. (BMI), Glucose, Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), Insulin and Adiponectin were assessed. Serum adiponectin levels were lower in impaired glucose tolerance subjects compared with healthy controls
