The Postprandial and work-induced thermogenesis,
on the other hand, can be regulated by humans.
But inflammation after eating- known as“Postprandial inflammation” can be exacerbated by our modern lifestyles.
Persistent Postprandial inflammation is a problem because it inflicts recurrent
collateral damage on our body that is extremely detrimental to our health over time.
Certain enzymes in our body, involved in the metabolism of Postprandial lipids, are activated as a response to the body's sleep-wake cycle
or the circadian rhythm.
Postprandial hyperglycemia[high blood sugar after meals],
as occurs in people with impaired glucose tolerance, has been shown to double the risk for death from cardiovascular diseases.
This was a cross- sectional study that was preliminary in nature and attempted to ascertain whether there
is an association between the rotational shift duties of healthcare workers and Postprandial triglycerides.
In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers from the University College of Medical Sciences(University of Delhi) & GTB Hospital, Delhi, have explored how working during
night shifts on a long-term alters the metabolism of Postprandial triglycerides and its effect on increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Target ranges advised by the Australasian Diabetes in Pregnancy Society are as follows: fasting capillary blood glucose
levels <5.5 mmol/L 1 hour Postprandial capillary blood glucose levels <8.0 mmol/L 2 hour
Postprandial blood glucose levels <6.7 mmol/L Regular blood samples can be used to determine HbA1c levels, which give an idea of glucose control over a longer time period.
