Metabolic perturbations of post-load hyperglycemia vs. fasting hyperglycemia.

ABSTRACT: There is evidence that post-load/post-meal hyperglycemia is a stronger risk factor for cardiovascular disease than fasting hyperglycemia. The underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. The current study aimed to compare the metabolic profiles of post-load hyperglycemia and fasting hyperglycemia. All subjects received an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and were stratified into fasting hyperglycemia (FH) or post-load hyperglycemia (PH). Forty-six (FH, n = 23; PH, n = 23) and 40 patients (FH, n = 20; PH, n = 20) were recruited as the exploratory and the validation set, respectively, and underwent metabolic profiling. Eighty-seven subjects including normal controls (NC: n = 36; FH: n = 22; PH: n = 29) were additionally enrolled and assayed with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
