To study the anti-diabetic effects of the crude leaves extract and fractions of Thymus schimperi Ronniger in normal and steptozotocin induced diabetic mice. The crude extract and the fractions were screened for antidiabetic activities in streptozotocin induced diabetic mice. A normoglycemic mice model and oral glucose tolerance test were also undertaken to assess the hypoglycemic and antihyperg...

backgroundresistin is reported as an antagonistic hormone of insulin and in the literature. nowadays, importance of resistin is being more highlighted in the metabolism of mother and fetus during pregnancy. this study aimed to assess the level of resistin in the umbilical cord and blood sugar at birth and evaluate the association of resistin and neonatal birth weight.materials and methodsthis c...

In the present study, we examined the effect of pertussis toxin (PTX) administered centrally in a variety of stress-induced blood glucose level. Mice were exposed to stress after the pretreatment of PTX (0.05 or 0.1 µg) i.c.v. or i.t. once for 6 days. Blood glucose level was measured at 0, 30, 60 and 120 min after stress stimulation. The blood glucose level was increased in all stress groups. T...

objective(s) seed of cucumis sativus linn. is one of the herbal remedies has been traditionally used for diabetes mellitus treatment. we studied the effect of hydroalcoholic and buthanolic extract obtained from c. sativus seeds in a model of streptozotocin (stz)-induced diabetic (type i) rats. materials and methods normal and diabetic male wistar rats (stz, 60 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) were treat...

abstract background: peritoneal dialysis has a number of complications including increased blood glucose. although exercise has been suggested to resolve this complication, most patients are not active. the present study aimed at determining the effects of twice-weekly, 40-min sessions of pedaling on a stationary bicycle on mean fasting blood sugar (fbs) and 2-h postprandial blood sugar (ppbs) ...

background: the use of nanotechnology has led to rapid growth in various areas. thus, health and safety issues of nanoparticles (nps) should be promptly addressed. manganese oxide (mno2) nanoparticles (nps) are typically used for biomedical and industrial applications. however, characterizing the potential human health effects of mno2 nps is required before fully exploiting these materials. the...

conclusions our new metabolic conditioning supplement, whether given pre- or postoperatively, led to better perioperative glycemic control and decreased postsurgical wound infections in non-diabetic patients. objectives the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a new conditioning supplement on perioperative metabolic stress and clinical outcomes in non-diabetic patients. patient...

purpose: this study has for objective the assessment of the vigilance, mood states variations and the blood glucose levels, during a triangular effort progressive in trained athletes during ramadan fasting (rf). methods. ten trained male athletes aged 21.8 ± 1.1 years are evaluated before (b.rf), during (1st, 2nd and 3th week) and after ramadan fasting, in the blood-glucose, vigilance, and mood...

conclusions the findings confirmed the positive influence of ud supplements and aerobic training on glycemic control in males with t2dm. when aerobic training was combined with a ud supplement, a greater degree of glycemic control was observed. results a significant decrease in fasting blood sugar (fbs) was observed in the ae group (-9.50 ± 6.96 mg/dl; p = 0.002), the ud group (-7.60 ± 6.04 mg/...

background and objective: the reliability and validity of monitors for self-monitoring of blood glucose are debated. we evaluated the analytical performance of accu-check active (boehringer mannheim, roche) which is one of the most commonly used monitors in iran. material and methods: we compared the monitor readings with the reference values by percentage of values within certain intervals of...
