OBJECTIVE Glucose fluctuations trigger activation of oxidative stress, a main mechanism leading to secondary diabetes complications. We evaluated the relationship between glycemic variability and beta-cell dysfunction. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study in 59 patients with type 2 diabetes (aged 64.2 +/- 8.6 years, A1C 6.5 +/- 1.0%, and BMI 29.8 +/- 3.8 kg/m(2)[me...

The effects of oral carbohydrate on modulating counterregulatory responses in humans remain undecided. This study's specific aim was to determine the effects of oral carbohydrate on autonomic nervous system (ANS) and neuroendocrine responses during hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia and euglycemia. Nineteen healthy volunteers were studied during paired, single blind experiments. Nine subjects underw...

Twenty obese inpatients who claimed to crave carbohydrate-rich foods were given d-fenfluramine (15 mg p.o., twice daily) or its placebo, double-blind, for two consecutive eight-day periods. Food choices were measured on treatment days 1, 7, and 8 by giving the subjects access to unlimited portions of six isocaloric meal foods (three high in carbohydrate and three high in protein) and of 10 iso...

The present review summarises the effects of different carbohydrate and fat structures on food intake and appetite and the differences in response at various levels of processing of macronutrients. Several physico-chemical properties of carbohydrate and fat molecules appear to influence the short-term satiating properties. However, long-term substantiation of these findings expressed in terms o...

Fasting is a standard preoperative procedure performed to prevent vomiting and pulmonary aspiration during anaesthesia surgery. However, fasting can cause postoperative physical psychological discomfort. Intake of oral carbohydrate (CHO) may mimic the intake food, which prevents We conducted meta-analysis evaluate effect safety CHO in adult surgical patients. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs)...

The nutritional value of a high-carbohydrate diet was evaluated. Seven male marathon runners kept a food record diary for the three days preceeding two endurance races. They were instructed in how to compose a diet which contained about 9 g carbohydrate day-1 kg body weight-1. Sixty three per cent of the subjects' total energy intake was derived from carbohydrates. The dietary intake of vitamin...

It was widely believed that the most diet" with carbohydrate comprising 60 important principle of the diabetic diet percent of the total energy (Table 1). was to restrict carbohydrate intake. This When our patients subsisted on this principle was also followed in India diet for periods up to 10 years, we found through the 1950s. The typical diabetic that, contrary to existing beliefs, the cardi...

Serotonin (5-HT), a mono-aminergic neurotransmitter is biochemically derived from tryptophan and is mainly found in gastrointestinal tract, platelets and central nervous system of animals. Serotonin (5-HT) in coordination with hypothalamus plays an important role in the CNS control of appetite, eating behavior, and energy balance and body weight. It has a special role in control of carbohydrate...

Manipulation of carbohydrate intake was used to treat severe, recurrent D-lactic acidosis in a patient with short bowel syndrome. Dietary carbohydrate composition was determined after assessment of D-lactic acid production from various carbohydrate substrates by faecal flora in vitro. This approach may be preferable to repeated courses of antibiotics.
