Carbon Spheres were fabricated by hydrothermal method and their structural properties were investigated. Carbon Spheres with average sizes around of 230, 320 and 430 nm were synthesized in different concentration of glucose aqueous solution and different hydrothermal reaction time. The temperature of 180 °C by a hydrothermal reaction was fixed in all of glucose concentration and hydrothermal re...

To determine if endothelial cell metabolism is affected by the elevated glucose concentrations known to occur in diabetes mellitus, we measured cellular Factor VIIIR:Ag in endothelial cells grown under conditions of increased glucose concentration. The results of this study illustrate that, under cell culture conditions, an increase in glucose concentration results in increased cellular levels ...

The kinetics of the fall in subcutaneous fluid glucose concentration in anesthetized rats (n = 7) after intravenous injection of insulin (0.5 units/kg) was studied by using 5 x 10(-4) cm2 active area, <150-sec 10-90% response time, amperometric glucose sensors. The onset of the decline in the subcutaneous glucose concentration was delayed and statistically different (P < 0.001) from that in blo...

Objective: Ganoderma Lucidum (G. Lucidum) has been suggested to increase serum insulin level.This study was undertaken to investigateits direct effect on the islets of Langerhans. Material and Methods: Male albino Wistar rats were anesthetized and the islets were isolated after digestion of the pancreas with collagenase. The islets were incubated for 60 min in Krebs bicarbonate buffer containi...

OBJECTIVE We sought to assess the risk of progression to type 2 diabetes in normal glucose tolerance (NGT) subjects based on the relationship between the plasma glucose concentration during oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) and the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) concentration. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects with NGT (n = 1,282) from the San Antonio Heart Study received an OGTT with mea...

Sustained high concentration of glucose has been verified toxic to β-cells. Glucose augments Ca(2+)-stimulated insulin release in pancreatic β-cells, but chronic high concentration of glucose could induce a sustained level of Ca(2+) in β-cells, which leads to cell apoptosis. However, the mechanism of high glucose-induced β-cell apoptosis remains unclear. In this study, we use a calcium channel ...

conclusions our study found that maximum serum glucose concentration positively correlated with the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay, and mortality. background the purpose of this study is to determine the frequency of hyperglycemia in nondiabetic critically ill children and to investigate its relationship with mechanical ventilation, length of stay and mortality. methods in t...

Using both cross-sectional and longitudinal methods, we investigated the relationship between post-load serum glucose concentration in a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and overall glycaemic state in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Glycaemic state was assessed by measuring glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and the serum concentration of 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG). In the cr...
