Low serum amylase and obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome: A novel interpretation

Figure 1 Relationship between serum amylase and fasting plasma glucose (A) and glycosylated hemoglobin (national glycohemoglobin standardization program) (B). Fasting plasma glucose of 90 mg/dL corresponds to HbA1c of 5.0% NGSP, as determined by linear regression analysis between FPG and HbA1c[47]. FPG: Fasting plasma glucose; NGSP: National glycohemoglobin standardization program; HbA1c: Glycosylated hemoglobin.
