the application of low-frequency ultrasound for transdermal delivery of insulin is of particular public interest due to the increasing problem of diabetes. the purpose of this research was to develop an air ultrasonic ceramic transducer for transdermal insulin delivery and evaluate the possibility of applying a new portable and low-cost device for transdermal insulin delivery. twenty-four rats ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none fa microsoftinternetexplorer4 background : in this study, we aimed to investigate the possible effects of sertraline on blood glucose and lipid levels as risk factors for cardiovascular disease in depressive patients. methods : eight male and twelve female depressive patients, diagnosed according to dsm-iv criteria, were included in this study. the subjec...

background: cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) during coronary artery bypass grafting is thought to contribute significantly to increased blood glucose level and altered blood electrolytes balance during the operation. in this (cabg) study, blood electrolytes and glucose during cpb in insulin-dependent diabetic and non-diabetic patients were assessed with special emphasis on the trend of the changes....

Background: Glucose uptake by muscles and fat cells is carried out by the GLUT4 system. Isoforms of the SNAP23, syntaxin-4 and VAMP-2 play an important role in regulating GLUT-4 trafficking and fusion in adipocytes. The changes of SNARE proteins levels and thus impaired GLUT-4 displacement can be one of the etiological causes of type 2 diabetes.Due to changes in the expression of these proteins...

conclusions the results of the present investigation suggest that sac could be used as a food supplement in the treatment of diabetes characterized by provoked antioxidant status, altered blood glucose, and hormones level. results the levels of glucose, cyp2e1 activity, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (tbars), hydroperoxide, and ceruloplasmin were increased significantly; whereas, the l...

objective: hyperglycemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients following coronary artery bypass grafting. tight glycemic control in perioperative period can reduce these events. the goal of this study was to determine whether combination of continuous infusion and subcutaneous glargine as a basal insulin could improve glycemic control. material and methods: d...

Some people suffering from diabetes use insulin injection pumps to control the blood glucose level. Sometimes, the fault may occur in the sensor or actuator of these pumps. The main objective of this paper is controlling the blood glucose level at the desired level and fault-tolerant control of these injection pumps. To this end, the eligibility traces algorithm is combined with the sliding mod...
