abstract objective: it has been reported that adenosine deaminase (ada) is a good marker for insulin function but its clinical significance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) is not yet characterized. this study aims to assess the association of ada with glycated hemoglobin (hba1c) and uric acid (ua) in t2dm patients. materials and methods: the study population consisted of 120 subjects divided...

objective: due to the increased prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in subjects with type 2 diabetes and also this fact that antibodies could potentially identify subjects at risk of thyroid dysfunction, this study was conducted to investigate thyroid autoimmunity in type 2 diabetic patients. material and methods: among patients referred to yazd diabetes research center, 4000 type 2 diabetic pati...

In this paper, we show that an $L_1$-2-type surface in the three-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^3subset R^4_1$ either is an open piece of a standard Riemannian product $ H^1(-sqrt{1+r^2})times S^{1}(r)$, or it has non constant mean curvature, non constant Gaussian curvature, and non constant principal curvatures.

background: despite the implementation of new training programs, neglecting individual differences in terms of learning styles can be taken into account as one of the reasons for poor levels of self-care behaviors in patients suffering from diabetes. aim: the purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of training according to the learning styles on self-care behaviors among individu...

b a ckground:  to compare the oxidative stress (os) factors in obese and non- obese subjects with type 2 diabetes (t2d) and to evaluate the interaction between the apolipoprotein a-ii (apo a-ii) - 265t > c polymorphism and body mass index (bmi) on os factors. m ethods : in this comparative cross-sectional study, 21 diabetes centers in tehran, iran were studied. 180 patients with t2d were divide...

many studies have shown that cytotoxic t lymphocyte antigen-4 (ctla-4) gene variants are associated with several autoimmune diseases particularly type 1 diabetes. due to the lack of consistent data for this association with type 2 diabetes (t2d), this study explored the possible influence of ctla-4 gene polymorphisms at -1722 (t/c), -318 (c/t), and +49 (g/a) positions for susceptibility to t2d ...

vitamin d deficiency is prevalent in diabetes type 2 and this vitamin may be related to insulin action. this randomized controlled trial study was done to evaluate the effect of vitamin d supplementation on glucose control and insulin resistance in patients with diabetes type 2.participants of this randomized clinical trial study consisted of 28 patients with type 2 diabetes who received 100 mi...

introduction: repeated hyperglycemia play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis in diabetic patients. endothelium is the organ of the first-line defense against atherosclerosis and nitric oxide has a major role in this task. the aim of this study was to determine changes in plasma nitric oxide metabolites concentration during glucose tolerance test in type 2 diabetic rats. met...
