متن کاملPostoperative/posttraumatic gustatory dysfunction.

متن کاملObesity as an Early Symptom of the AMIS Syndrome
We review evidence that the AMIS (Absence of Meal-induced Insulin Sensitization) syndrome describes a paradigm fundamental to development of obesity. The hypoglycemic response to a pulse of insulin is doubled after a meal as a result of Hepatic Insulin Sensitizing Substance (HISS), released from the liver to act selectively on muscle, heart and kidney. In the absence of HISS action, the hypogly...
متن کاملViewing Gout as an Early Symptom of Sleep Apnea
The chronic intermittent hypoxemia which results from sleep apnea causes three effects which quickly elevate the concentration of serum uric acid, often leading to the precipitation of monosodium urate crystals, namely, gout: cell catabolism which culminates irreversibly in the generation of excess uric acid fed into the blood; serum acidosis and hypercapnia which reduces the solubility of uric...
متن کاملCadmium as an etiology of sperm dysfunction in Holstein bulls
Oxidative stress has been identified as a crucial factor leading to male infertility largely due to peroxidativedamage to the sperm cell membrane. Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread environmental pollutant and oneof the well-known reproductive toxicants. Because of its long biological half-life (10–30 years), Cdaccumulates in the biological systems. The present study was designed to assess the concen...
