The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between insulin resistance, obesity and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in healthy men with serum PSA level below 4 ng mL(-1). The men included in the study cohort were 11 827 healthy male employees of the Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co., LTD who had undergone medical checkups including fasting glucose, fasting insulin a...

objective: the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of four weeks aerobic training on serum glucagon-like peptide-1 (glp-1) in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm). materials and methods: twenty t2dm patients (33-53 years) were randomly assigned into control (n=10) and experimental (n=10) groups. the main intervention included running on treadmill, reaching 55 to 80% of t...

introduction: there is no comprehensive study on the effect of folate on food intake therefore the present study was carried out to determine the effect of folate supplementation on serum concentrations of leptin and grehlin and food intake in male wistar rats. methods: the study was carried out for 42 days during which the animals were weighed weekly their food and water intakes were measured ...

Background: Objective of the study was to compare serum Nesfatin 1 levels in Indian women with and without polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) evaluate association metabolic clinical parameters. Methods: 40 PCOS age body mass index (BMI) matched non controls were enrolled. Comparison hormonal (serum 1, anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), follicle stimulating (FSH), luteinizing (LH), prolactin, testost...

Background: Irisin is a recently identified myokine that acts like adipokines. It has been revealed to be connected with insulin resistance (IR), obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Objective: To investigate serum, follicular fluid (FF), irisin, IR in lean, overweight, obese women undergoing the intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycle correlate them oocyte embryo quality. Methods: Ninety inf...

Background and Aims: Diabetes is one of the most important endocrine disrupters and is associated with various hormones, including those that can lead to diabetes. Glucocorticoid use may lead to insulin resistance. Dexamethasone is one of these glucocorticoid compounds. Glutamate dehydrogenase plays a key role in the production of glutamate in the secretion of insulin. Based on these hormonal i...

OBJECTIVES: To investigate fasting glucose, glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and insulin–like growth factor 1 in patients with or without colorectal polyps. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated fasting glucose, insulin, insulin–like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), lipid profile and glucose tolerance test in 103 patients undergoing colonoscopy (52 normal and 53 wit...

It has been hypothesized that insulin might mediate meal-related diurnal variation in vaspin serum concentrations. We therefore investigated whether insulin affects serum vaspin levels in humans. Vaspin serum concentrations were determined by ELISA in 10 healthy individuals, who underwent an insulin tolerance test (ITT) for the evaluation of pituitary ACTH and growth hormone reserve. The ITTs w...
