Does supplementation of α-linolenic acid improve serum adiponectin levels and insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes?
ω-3 ALA supplementation improved glucose homeostasis and was associated with an increase in adiponectin. Improvement in the overall metabolic profile with ω-3 ALA suggests a potential clinical utility for this agent and requires further investigation.
From the observations stated above, it is concluded that for women with GST-1 of 99 mg% or less, a GST-2 is not necessary. For those having GST-1 of 140 mg% or more, a GT TEST is absolutely necessary instead of repeating the screening test again in the third trimester. But it is in the intermediate group (i.e. with GST-1 value of 100 mg%-139 mg%) where the glucose screening test should be repeated in the early third trimester and GT TEST as and when necessary.
