Porcine adipose tissue glucose metabolism and lipolytic rates have been measured for many years by numerous investigators. However, there is little or no documented indication of the effects of variation in tissue handling procedures or variations in incubation medium components on metabolic rates. We have systematically varied conditions to provide such documentation for these much used techni...

Studies of glucose metabolism utilizing radioactive glucose have been reported in several animal species (1-3) including normal and diabetic man (4-6). In these studies the tracer employed has been glucose with the C14 uniformly distributed throughout the six carbon atoms. From the reactions of glucose catabolism in the EmbdenMeyerhof pathway, Krebs' tricarboxylic acid cycle and the hexose mono...

conclusions overall, the results of this study indicate that intermittent exercise reduces the plasma leptin level. in addition, this reduction is significantly correlated to the glucose level in the blood. the continuous exercise was shown to have no effects on the plasma leptin level, and there was no relationship between the glucose and leptin levels. results the results demonstrated that se...

The incidence of abnormal glucose metabolism in patients with rheumatoid arthritis was considerably higher than the general population. The persistent systemic inflammatory state in rheumatoid arthritis might be associated with the glucose metabolism dysfunction. In this context, insulin resistance, islet β cell apoptosis, inflammatory cytokines, and other aspects which were linked with abnorma...
