Glucose Tolerance Modulation

Meaning

Glucose Tolerance Modulation is the clinical and physiological process of actively regulating the body’s fundamental ability to efficiently clear glucose from the bloodstream following a significant carbohydrate load. This critical modulation involves optimizing insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, enhancing the pancreatic beta cell’s precise responsiveness, and coordinating appropriate hepatic glucose output. Successful modulation is a primary therapeutic target for preventing the development of insulin resistance and effectively mitigating the long-term risk of metabolic syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes.
