Abstract

Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is widely applied in the diagnosis of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and/or type-2 DM (T2DM) in clinical practice. Recently, it is also employed in the diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and/or Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) in patients without overt T2DM. In basic research, OGTT is also useful in the development of new agents for diabetic medication(s). However, it must concern the changes in basal glucose level showing at the 0min during OGTT. Therefore, the basal glucose level cannot be ignored and/or deleted in the evaluation of area under the curve (AUC) from plasma glucose disappearance curve during OGTT.
