  2. Glycated hemoglobin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycated_hemoglobin

    A1c is of particular interest because it is easy to detect. The process by which sugars attach to hemoglobin is called glycation and the reference system is based on HbA1c, defined as beta-N-1-deoxy fructosyl hemoglobin as component. [4] There are several ways to measure glycated hemoglobin, of which HbA1c (or simply A1c) is a standard single ...

  3. Fructosamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructosamine

    On average, each change of 3.3 mmol (60 mg/dL) in average blood sugar levels will give rise to changes of 2% HbA1c and 75 μmol fructosamine values. [6] However, this overemphasizes the upper limit of many laboratories' reference ranges of 285 μmol/L as equivalent to HbA1c 7.5% rather than 6.5%.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_unit

    In pharmacology, the international unit (IU) is a unit of measurement for the effect or biological activity of a substance, for the purpose of easier comparison across similar forms of substances. International units are used to quantify vitamins and biologics ( hormones , some medications , vaccines , blood products and similar biologically ...

    There appears to be the greatest cluster of substances in the yellow part (μg/L or nmol/L), becoming sparser in the green part (mg/L or μmol/L). However, there is another cluster containing many metabolic substances like cholesterol and glucose at the limit with the blue part (g/L or mmol/L).

  6. Enzyme unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme_unit

    The enzyme unit, or international unit for enzyme (symbol U, sometimes also IU) is a unit of enzyme's catalytic activity. [ 1 ] 1 U (μmol/min) is defined as the amount of the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of one micro mole of substrate per minute under the specified conditions of the assay method .

  9. Blood sugar level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar_level

    Unit conversion formula from mmol/L to mg/dL [5] m g / d L = m m o l / L × m o l e c u l a r w e i g h t ÷ 10 {\displaystyle mg/dL=mmol/L\times molecular\ weight\div 10} Since the molecular mass of glucose C 6 H 12 O 6 is 180.156 g/mol, the factor between the two units is about 18, so 1 mmol/L of glucose is equivalent to 18 mg/dL.
