blood serum | subjects are divided into four groups according to their level of alcohol consumption: nondrinkers, light drinkers (1-188 ml/week), intermediate drinkers (189-377 ml/week), and heavy drinkers (more than 378 ml/week). The frequency of subjects with an fasting plasma glucose of 110 mg/dl or more rises significantly as alcohol consumption increases, from 6.7% in non-drinkers to 10.1% in intermediate drinkers and 12.1% in heavy drinkers. When only the subjects with a gamma-glutamyltransferase level of less than 40 IU/l are analyzed, no difference is observed in the frequency of subjects with an FPG level of 110 mg/dl or more among the four groups | Homo sapiens | - |
