Comparative effects of oral hypoglycemic drugs on serum YKL-40 level in type 2 diabetic patients.

The influence of hypoglycemic drugs on exercise-mediated hypoglycemic effects in elderly type 2 diabetic patients.

BACKGROUND To evaluate the impact of different hypoglycemic drugs on exercise-mediated blood glucose (BG) reduction. METHODS One-hundred and five retirees who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) within a two-year period were included in this study. The participants were instructed to walk for 20 to 30 minutes at a moderate-speed (4.0 to 4.5 km/h) after breakfast. Blood pressur...

Initiating Insulin Therapy in Type 2 Diabetic Patients Failing on Oral Hypoglycemic Agents

T ype 2 diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by coexisting insulin deficiency and insulin resistance, with the resultant hyperglycemia leading to microand macrovascular complications. A large number of intervention trials demonstrated that improving glycemic control achieves considerable reductions of such complications (1–7). It has been estimated using the homeostasis multiple assessme...

Assessment of the Diagnostic Value of GFAP, IGFBP-2, and YKL-40 in Patients with Glioblastoma

Background and Aims: An effective marker search in glioblastoma is precious in controlling and detecting the progression and monitoring of patients with glioblastoma. In this regard, the present study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic role of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), insulin-like growth factor-binding protein -2 (IGFBP-2), and chitinase-3-like protein -1 (YKL-40) ti...
