Plasma Insulin in Normal Late Pregnancy
Abstract
DESPITE a voluminous amount of research directed at elucidating the mechanisms of human carbohydrate metabolism many unexplored areas remain, especially in the pregnant state. Many studies have made reference to the altered carbohydrate metabolism in pregnancy based upon changes in the oral glucose tolerance tests. Studies using intravenous glucose tolerance tests have shown normal curves during pregnancy and in fact suggest that more insulin may be released by the pancreas during the pregnant state.1 This is supported by pathological study of the pancreases of pregnant women that shows an increase in the size and number of the islands of Langerhans. . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
