American Diabetes Association
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) is a United States-based nonprofit that seeks to educate the public about diabetes and to help those affected by it through funding research to manage, cure and prevent diabetes, including type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and pre-diabetes.
See Prandial and American Diabetes Association
Anabolism
Anabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that construct macromolecules like DNA or RNA from smaller units.
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by endothermic animals at rest.
See Prandial and Basal metabolic rate
Digestion
Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food compounds into small water-soluble components so that they can be absorbed into the blood plasma.
Gastrointestinal tract
The gastrointestinal tract (GI tract, digestive tract, alimentary canal) is the tract or passageway of the digestive system that leads from the mouth to the anus. The GI tract contains all the major organs of the digestive system, in humans and other animals, including the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
See Prandial and Gastrointestinal tract
Glucose
Glucose is a sugar with the molecular formula.
Gynecological Endocrinology
Gynecological Endocrinology is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal covering experimental, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of the discipline.
See Prandial and Gynecological Endocrinology
Hyperglycemia
Hyperglycemia or Hyperglycaemia is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the blood plasma.
See Prandial and Hyperglycemia
Hypotension
Hypotension, also known as low blood pressure, is a cardiovascular condition characterized by abnormally reduced blood pressure.
Metabolism (from μεταβολή metabolē, "change") is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms.
Parasympathetic nervous system
The parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) is one of the three divisions of the autonomic nervous system, the others being the sympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system.
See Prandial and Parasympathetic nervous system
Postprandial dip
In medicine and specifically endocrinology, postprandial dip is a term used to refer to mild hypoglycemia occurring after ingestion of a heavy meal.
See Prandial and Postprandial dip
Postprandial glucose test
A postprandial glucose (PPG) test is a blood glucose test that determines the amount of glucose in the plasma after a meal.
See Prandial and Postprandial glucose test
Regurgitation (digestion)
Regurgitation is the expulsion of material from the pharynx, or esophagus, usually characterized by the presence of undigested food or blood.
See Prandial and Regurgitation (digestion)
Rumination syndrome
Rumination syndrome, or merycism, is a chronic motility disorder characterized by effortless regurgitation of most meals following consumption, due to the involuntary contraction of the muscles around the abdomen.
See Prandial and Rumination syndrome
Thermogenesis
Thermogenesis is the process of heat production in organisms.
See Prandial and Thermogenesis
