Diabetes mellitus (DM) is known as metabolic disorders showing hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia due to the dysfunction of pancreatic islets [1]. The prevalence of DM in clinics is markedly increased and it will reach approximately 439 million in 2030 [2]. Generally, DM is mentioned to include two main subtypes, Type 1 (Insulin dependent diabetes) and Type 2 (Non-insulin dependent diabetes) subt...

AIMS To examine the lifestyle profile among persons with and without Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and among users of different glucose-lowering drugs. METHODS We used questionnaire data from a Danish health survey and identified presence of Type 2 DM and use of medications through medical databases. We calculated age- and gender-standardized prevalence ratios (PRs) of lifestyle factors accor...

In cell model, we discovered the association between chaperonin-containing t-complex polypeptide 1 subunit β (TCP-1β) and early diabetic nephropathy (DN). In this study, we further explored the relationships between TCP-1β and type 2 diabetic mellitus (DM). To mimic the clinical hyperfiltration state, a type 2 DM mice model was established by feeding a high-fat diet in combination with treatmen...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Colorectal cancer (CRC) develops from colonic adenomas. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with a higher risk of CRC and metformin decreases CRC risk. However, it is not certain if metformin affects the development of colorectal polyps and adenomas. This study aimed to elucidate if metforminaffects the incidence of colonic polyps and adenomas in patients with type 2 DM....

The devastating impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) on vascular, renal, retinal, and peripheral nerve functions has been well documented. However, there is also evidence that older adults with this disease exhibit impairments in the planning, coordinating, sequencing, and monitoring of cognitive operations, collectively known as executive function. Although poorly understood, disturbances i...

Objective. To determine the correlation between central corneal thickness (CCT) and central macular thickness (CMT), and fasting plasma glucose levels and HbA1c levels before diabetic macular edema (DME) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients without diabetic retinopathy. Methods. Forty-four eyes of subjects diagnosed with type 2 DM, and 45 healthy control subjects participated in this study...

INTRODUCTION To determine the foot self-care practices performed by Filipino American (FA) women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). METHOD The Summary of Diabetes Self Care Activities - Revised and Expanded measure was administered to 118 FA adult female immigrants with type 2 DM. RESULTS Younger FA women (<65 years), participants with higher education, those who immigrated to the United S...

tow new compound of type [(chelate)2cu-oh-cu(chelate)2] x3.nh2o, where chelate=1,10-phenanthroline; x=cl¯(n=3.5) and chelate=4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine;  (n=5) have been synthesized and their properties investigated. the complexes show room temperature magnetic moment order of 1.0 b.m. per copper atom. the x-band esr spectrum of powdered samples at room temperature shows typical dm=1 transit...

diabetes mellitus (dm) type 2 is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting more than 135 million people in the world. the etiology of the disease is not fully understood, but recently subclinical hemochromatosis has been considered as one of the probable causes of dm. this study was carried out to examine the relationship between serum ferritin as a marker of iron overload with dm an...

Aberrant energy metabolism is one characteristic of diabetes mellitus (DM). Two types of DM have been identified, type 1 and type 2. Most of type 2 DM patients eventually become insulin dependent because insulin secretion by the islets of Langerhans becomes exhausted. In the present study, we show that resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxylstilbene) possesses hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects in ...
