New-onset diabetes after renal transplantation (NODAT) is known to be a potent risk factor for cardiovascular events. We therefore investigated the incidence and risk factors for NODAT, and evaluated surrogate endpoints of atherosclerosis in Japanese patients with stable renal function after renal transplantation. Seventy-nine patients were enrolled in the study, and a 75 g oral glucose toleran...

High blood glucose and type 2 diabetes are associated with a range of adverse health and cognitive outcomes. One factor that contributes to high blood glucose and type 2 diabetes is dietary intake. This study investigated the relationship between dietary patterns, fasting blood glucose and diabetes status in a sample of 209 participants aged 60-65. Blood plasma glucose was measured from venous ...

We evaluated the influence of the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) and fasting plasma glucose on the variation in low density lipoprotein (LDL) peak particle size in 210 subjects who were undergoing an annual check-up. Univariate analysis showed that LDL particle size was significantly and positively correlated with high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, and was inversely c...

background: negative energy balance in cow occurs in transitional period, high-yielding dairy cows immediately after calving and feed restriction. in response to energy demand cow mobilizes fatty acids from adipose tissue causing an increase in the circulation of nefa. increased blood nefa is associated with low glucose, high free fatty acids and ketone bodies as well as lipid and lipoprotein d...

Metabolic syndrome (MS), defined as central obesity, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia and glucose intolerance, has been associated with inflammatory biomarkers and cardiovascular diseases. This study was carried out on three groups of women; lean controls, moderately obese with MS (OB-MS) and morbidly obese with MS (MOB-MS). The main objectives were: 1. to analyz...

introduction: metabolic syndrome includes obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, glucose intolerance, hypertension and lipid profile abnormalities. the risk of cardiovascular diseases with this syndrome is higher than every components alone. in view of its burden and high mortality rate, this syndrome should be noted. methods: the 25-64 aged individuals in 17th zone of tehran were studied. it was desig...

BACKGROUND Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have increased fasting concentrations and disturbed postprandial responses of several glucoregulatory hormones. We aimed to evaluate the impact of high-flux haemodialysis (HD) and high-volume haemodiafiltration (HDF) on fasting and postprandial plasma levels of glucoregulatory pancreatic and gut peptide hormones in ESRD patients. METHODS...

In patients with portal hypertension, plasma insulin levels were raised both fasting and after oral glucose or intravenous tolbutamide. This supports previous suggestions that resistance to endogenous insulin plays a major role in producing the impaired glucose tolerance found in chronic hepatic dysfunction. The operation of portacaval anastomosis was followed by impaired oral fructose toleranc...

objectives: turnip leaf has been used in folk medicine of iran for the treatment of diabetes. however,so far no scientific study has been done to support its use in traditional medicine. the present study was carried out to evaluate the possible hypoglycemic efficacy of aqueous extract of turnip leaf (aetl) in diabetic rats. materials and methods: alloxan-induced diabetic rats were orally treat...
