The Metabolism of Potassium in Diabetic Acidosis *

Although it has been known for some time that a loss of potassium from the body occurs in fasting3' 18 and certain types of dehydration,5' 13 and recently that the replacement of this potassium during parenteral therapy of the dehydration due to infantile diarrhea may materially reduce the mortality rate,9 many of the changes that occur in the metabolism of potassium during the state of extreme...

Extracellular matrix metabolism in diabetic nephropathy.

Diabetic nephropathy is characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins in the mesangium and basement membrane of the glomerulus and in the renal tubulointerstitium. This review summarizes the main changes in protein composition of the glomerular mesangium and basement membrane and the evidence that, in the mesangium, these are initiated by changes in glucose metabolism a...

Lipid Metabolism Disorders and Overweight In Diabetic, IGTand Normal Subjects In Islamshahr, Iran

SUMMARY Due to the importance of coronary heart diseases in today's world and in view of the fact that hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and obesity are regarded as the main risk factors in these diseases and also considering the paucity of epidemiologic surveys in our society, this study was carried out in Islamshahr 30 Km to the southwest of Tehran. Out of 244000 population of the area, 2033 per...

α-Oxoaldehyde metabolism and diabetic complications

The factors responsible for variable susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy are not clear. According to the non-enzymatic glycation hypothesis, diabetes-related tissue damage occurs due to a complex mixture of toxic products, including α-oxoaldehydes, which are inherently toxic as well as serving as presursors for advanced glycation end-products. Protective mechanisms exist to control this unav...
