Frequency of lipodystrophy induced by recombinant human insulin.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Lipodystrophy is a potential clinical complication induced by insulin therapy, and it is believed that its frequency has been reduced by using recombinant human insulin. Aim of this study was to determine the frequency of recombinant human insulin induced lipodystrophy in diabetic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross sectional study was done on 220 diabetics ref...
متن کاملInsulin Receptor Down - regulation Is Linked to an Insulin - induced
We have examined the relationship between insulin-induced receptor downregulation and the induction of a postreceptor defect in the insulin-stimulated glucose transport system in rat adipocytes, and found that downregulation was linked to the expression of the postreceptor defect. When recycling of insulin receptors was inhibited by 20 mM Tris, insulin pretreatment (100 ng/ml) for 4 h at 370C i...

متن کاملEffect of Vanadyl Sulfate on Fructose-Induced Insulin Resistance Rat
Insulin resistance syndrome, also referred to as the metabolic syndrome or syndrome X, refers to a constellation of common metabolic and cardiovascular disorders (e.g. obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia), which are all cardiovascular risk factors. Insulin resistance can be induced by fructose-rich diet in rats. We investigated the effect of vanadyl sulfate (0.2 mg...
متن کاملInsulin-induced drug eruptions and reliability of skin tests.
Allergic reaction to insulin preparations seemed to have decreased since the introduction of contaminant-free, human preparations. The role of protamine sulfate in decreasing the prevalence of allergy is unclear. This study examines the causative components of insulin allergy along with the value of skin tests for diagnosis. Eleven patients with insulin allergy and 53 patients receiving insulin...
