background: gestational diabetes (ga) is a common complication, associated with adverse prenatal outcomes and perceived stress. the effects of education on perceived stress have been widely investigated, whereas the role of self-care in ga has been less noted. aim: to determine the effects of self-care education on perceived stress in women with ga under insulin treatment. methods: in this rand...

conclusions therapeutic dose of vitamin d can improve vitamin d status and glycemic indicators. but it seems that an 8-week intervention period was not sufficient to reveal the possible effects of vitamin d on serum adiponectin levels. results after 8-week intervention, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin d significantly increased and reached the normal levels in patients receiving vitamin d (p < 0.001) an...

the effects of steroid hormones, glucagon and insulin on rat liver phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (pap) activity were studied both in vitro and in vivo. incubation of rat hepatocytes with each hormone showed that dehydroepiandrosterone (dhea), progesterone and testosterone increase pap activity by 44.6, 37 and 36.9%, respectively. estradiol, however, decreased enzyme activity by 13.6% under the...

introduction: diabetes mellitus (dm) is now seen as a worldwide epidemic disease with high prevalence. exercise training (et) is known to promote beneficial changes in diabetic patients. the aim of this study was to compare the impact of continuous and intermittent aerobic training on glucose-4 transporter protein (glut-4) levels and insulin sensitivity in diabetic rats. materials and methods: ...

introduction: aim of present research was to review the effect of resistance training on glycemic indexes of streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. methods: for this purpose 36 male rats with weight 308/82±29/57 selected. one week after induction of diabetes diabetic rats were randomly divided into two groups including resistance training and control and healthy rats divided in to two groups inc...

there is some report about the hypoglycemic effect of juglans rejia l. leaf in alloxan induced diabetic rats and hypoglycemic effect of its fruit peel administered intra peritoneally. thirty male wistar rats divided into five groups, to evaluate the hypoglycemic and pancreas β-cells regenerative effects of oral methanolic extracts of leaf and fruit peel of walnut. rats were made diabetic by int...
