[Abstract] Glucose tolerance test is a standard procedure that addresses how quickly exogenous glucose can be cleared from blood. Specifically, uptake of glucose from the blood by cells is regulated by insulin. Impairment of glucose tolerance (i.e, longer time to clear given amount of glucose) indicates problems ...
