This paper proposes a model that considers the action and timing of insulin glucagon in glucose homeostasis after an oral stimulus. We use Bayesian paradigm to infer kinetic rates, namely secretion, gastrointestinal emptying, basal concentration blood. identify two scores related both blood tract. The allow us suggest classification for individuals with impaired sensitivity. </abstra...

dopaminergic signaling is one of the regulatory pathways being investigated for its implication in glucose metabolism. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of cabergoline on biochemical and anthropometric parameters in prediabetes stage (impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance). in this double blind, placebo-controlled, pilot study, 27 prediabetic adults were random...

The results of two acute placebo-controlled, double-blind cross-over studies assessing the effect of Panax ginseng (G115) on blood glucose levels are reported. In study 1, thirty participants received three treatments: placebo; 200 mg G115; 400 mg G115. In study 2, twenty-seven participants received four treatments: placebo (0 mg ginseng and 30 mg saccharin); ginseng (200 mg ginseng and 30 mg s...

Seven infants with mild acute diarrhoeal dehydration were rehydrated with an oral sugar-electrolyte solution containing a glucose polymer mixture. Six of them were rehydrated successfully. The high sodium content of the solution (90 mmol/l) was based on the WHO/UNICEF recommended glucose-electrolyte solution and was implicated as the cause of increases in serum sodium in 4 infants, one of whom ...

Aim: To evaluate the effect of Enalapril on blood glucose level in normal rats and interaction with the oral anti-diabetic drugs in Alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Method: The rats were classified into nine groups (n = 6).The Group I –II were normal and Group III –IX were diabetic. The experimental diabetes in rats was induced by intra-peritoneal injection of Alloxan monohydrate (135 mg/kg body ...

The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is expressed in various tissues, including the gastrointestinal tract. To investigate the role of gut CaSR on glycemic control, we examined whether single oral administration of CaSR agonist peptides affected the glycemic response in rats. Glucose tolerance tests were performed under oral or duodenal administration of various CaSR agonist peptides (γGlu-Cys, ...
