CORTISONE ORAL GLUCOSE TOLERANCE RESPONSES IN HEALTHY YOUNG ADULT MALES CLASSIFIED AS TO ORAL HEALTH STATUS,
Abstract
Cortisone-supplemented, oral glucose tolerance tests were carried out on 156 apparently healthy yound adult males. Results were compared with those from 300 other subjects who underwent conventional oral glucose tolerance testing. All subjects were classified as to dental caries experience and periodontal index rating. The addition of cortisone to the oral glucose tolerance testing procedure increased the means for serum glucose at each sampling interval. In neither the conventional nor the cortisonesupplemented groups was there a significant indication that glucose tolerance responses could be related to either dental caries experience or periodontal index.
