We determined the relationship between fructosamine and serum glucose in free-ranging white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) harvested during two seasonally stressful periods for deer in coastal North Carolina, US: July 2008 represented the postparturition and lactation period, and March 2009 represented the late winter and pre– green-up period. Serum glucose and fructosamine concentrations...

The acute and chronic effects of porcine growth hormone (pGH) administration on glucose homeostasis of pigs were investigated in the present study. Twelve Yorkshire barrows (average BW = 65 kg) fitted with femoral artery catheters were allotted to three groups. Pigs received acute, intra-arterial injections of either pituitary pGH, a recombinantly derived pGH analog (ppGH or rpGH, 100 microgram...

Several aspects of Western diets, alcohol use, and exercise patterns which are related to the risk of colorectal cancer have systemic effects in common. Those which increase the risk of colorectal cancer are positively associated with serum triglycerides and plasma glucose; those which decrease risk are negatively associated with serum triglycerides and plasma glucose. These observations sugges...

Nano-sized drugs have better distribution than their identical forms. Magnesium is the cofactor of various enzymes in lipid and glucose metabolism. In this study the effect of nano-magnesium oxide (nano-MgO) on glucose concentration and lipid profile in diabetes induced mice was evaluated in 21 laboratory mice. Mice were divided randomly into three equal groups (control, treatment and placebo)....

b a ckground: diabetes is an important disease. this disease is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from perturbation in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. honey bee venom contains a wide range of polypeptide agents. the principle components of bee venom are mellitin and phospholipase a2. these components increase insulin secretion from the β-cells of pancreas....

Introdouction: Injection of local anesthesia during dental procedures can induce metabolic changes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in the serum blood glucose levels after the injection of lidocaine with a vasoconstrictor during tooth extraction. Materials and methods: In this clinical trial study, we enrolled 60 patients. We extracted mandibular teeth by using inferior al...

background: some patients with gdm (gestational diabetes mellitus) still experience impaired glucose tolerance after childbirth and will be affected by diabetes mellitus type 2. objectives: the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between hs-crp serum levels with insulin resistance six weeks after childbirth in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus type 2. methods: in this...
