Intravenous 1,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol corrects glucose intolerance in hemodialysis patients

Effect of Receiving Intravenous Vitamin C on Dyslipidemia in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis

Background: Dyslipidemia is one of the major causes of the production and progression of atherosclerosis in hemodialysis patients. Vitamin C is able to improve dyslipidemia by reducing an oxidative stress. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin C supplementation on dyslipidemia in hemodialysis patients. Methods: In a randomized, double-blind clinical trial, 160 patient...

[The mechanism of glucose intolerance in patients with Graves' disease].

To investigate the mechanism of glucose intolerance in patients with Graves' disease, a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test and euglycemic glucose clamp study using Biostator were performed in patients with Graves' disease and control subjects. 80 per cent of the patients showed impaired glucose tolerance. Insulinogenic index in the patients with borderline or diabetic glucose response was lower...

Glucose intolerance in Japanese patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

OBJECTIVE Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) often accompanies obesity and diabetes mellitus. This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of glucose intolerance and to determine independent predictors for insulin resistance in patients with OSAS. METHODS A cross-sectional study of 679 OSAS patients with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)>or=5/h and 73 controls subjects (AHI<5/h) wa...

Glucose intolerance in pulmonary tuberculosis.

The frequency of glucose intolerance was studied in 106 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis attending Nazimabad Chest Clinic. Diagnosis was based on X-ray and a positive sputum smear. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed and evaluated according to the WHO criteria. Glucose intolerance was detected in 52 (49%) patients, 31 Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT), 21 Diabetes Mellitus (D...
