the present study intended to compare two types of aerobic training on serum levels of resistin and insulin resistance in type-2 diabetic women. 24 middle-aged type-2 diabetic women (mean age 41.8±3.45 yr, weight 76.8±3.61 kg, bmi 31.1±1.02 kg/m2, body fat percentage 41.6±1.38 and whr 0.94±0.05) were purposively selected and then randomly assigned to three groups: highly-intensity interval trai...

background: omega 3 and vitamin e are two critical nutrients which include beneficial effects in coronary artery disease (cad). the aim of this study was to assess the effects of omega 3 alone supplementation or in combination with vitamin e on serum glucose and lipid levels and insulin resistance in cad patients. methods: participants of this clinical trial included 60 male patients with cad w...

conclusions based on these data, we can argue that circulating glucose concentration is not directly affected by serum resistin in t2dm. it seems that resistin affects glucose indirectly, through insulin resistance. results we found that serum resistin had a positive significant correlation with insulin resistance (p = 0.000, r = 0.64). no significant correlation was found between serum resisti...

objective: serum leptin concentration reflects the body fat mass. there is controversial reports about the insulin effect on serum leptin concentration. we wanted to examine the effect of insulin therapy on serum leptin in children with new onset type i diabetes. materials and methods: this was a cross-sectional study in children's medical center on 34 children who had new onset type i dia...

background: hyperglycemia is one of the important featurs of diabetes. in cell culture studies different methods are used to mimic the hyperglycemia condition. in this study we investigate response of human liver cancer cell line (hepg2) to high insulin, high glucose, and high insulin/ high glucose medium exposure. methods: hepg2 cells were settled in dmem+0.1% fbs or dmem free-serum medium wit...

Background : Some studies have shown that the serum concentration of 25- hydroxy vitamin D which is represent the status of body vitamin D, has a diverse relationship with obesity status, and the risk of obesity decreases in people with high level of 25- hydroxy vitamin D. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between the serum level of 25- hydroxy vitamin D and anthropometric...

hyperglycemia and gestational diabetes mellitus are complications of pregnancy. both mothers and newborns are typically at increased risk for complications. this study sought to determine effect of zinc supplementation on serum glucose levels, insulin resistance, energy and macronutrients intakes in pregnant women with impaired glucose tolerance.in this clinical trial 44 pregnant women with imp...
