Coronary heart disease risk factors

Impaired fasting glucose has no effect on coronary heart disease risk factors in humans.

“Subjects with isolated IFG had similar levels of CHD risk factors as NGT subjects, even when IFG was redefined with a lower threshold.”

Impaired glucose tolerance increases coronary heart disease risk factors in humans.

“IGT is phenotypically different from IFG and is associated with increased levels of CHD risk factors.”
