Beta cell function, insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance all showed a statistically significant improvement as well. Conclusion: To our knowledge this is the first trial to show an improvement in glucose handling using HOMA parameters in participants with prediabetes. Larger randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm these findings and to explore clinical endpoints.]]> Wed 06 Apr 2022 14:00:37 AEST ]]> Association between hypertension and chronic arsenic exposure in drinking water: a cross-sectional study in Bangladesh https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20106 50μg/L or to that of arsenic exposure as quartiles or as duration. Arsenic concentration as quartiles and >50 μg/L did show a strong relationship with increased pulse pressure (adjusted OR: 3.54, 95% CI: 1.46–8.57), as did arsenic exposure for ≥10 years (adjusted OR: 5.25, 95% CI: 1.41–19.51). Arsenic as quartiles showed a dose response relationship with increased pulse pressure. Our study suggests an association between higher drinking water arsenic or duration and pulse pressure, but not hypertension.]]> Tue 24 Aug 2021 14:26:19 AEST ]]> Assessment of nutritional status of infants living in arsenic-contaminated areas in Bangladesh and its association with arsenic exposure https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32802 Fri 22 Apr 2022 10:24:54 AEST ]]>
