objective(s):to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the contributions of gst genetic variants to the risk of diabetic retinopathy in an iranian population. therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether sequence variation in glutathione s-transferase gene (gstm1 and gstt1) is associated with development of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2d...

clinical data showed consumption of buckwheat played a very positive role in the relief of diabetes and its complications. the purpose of this study was to explore the effects and mechanisms of the overall flavonoids from buckwheat flowers and leaves (tfbfl) on renal damage in type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) rats. seventy male wistar rats were selected. ten rats were randomly allocated into a n...

Objective(s): Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with circadian disruption. Our previous experimental results have showed that dietary Lycium barbarum. polysaccharide (LBP-4a) exhibited hypoglycemic and improving insulin resistance (IR) activities. This study was to explore the mechanisms of LBP-4a for improving hyperglycemia and IR by regulating biological rhythms in T2DM rats. Mat...

Objective: There are changes in plasma glucose and HbA1c of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in different seasons. HbA1c levels may increase during winter season in most T2DM patients without weight gain. In this study, we described the seasonal changes of HbA1c levels in T2DM patients. Materials and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study conducted from 2013 to 2017 on 402 pati...

conclusions it is speculated that increased insulin resistance and increase in other adipokines such as il-6 may contribute to the decreased serum levels of adiponectin in patients with both cad and t2dm. objectives in this present study, we measured serum adiponectin levels in consecutive cad patients with and without t2dm and investigated whether decreased adiponectin is associated with risk ...

Aims: The study's purpose was to evaluate the serious risk factor for the neuropathy disease in patients with diabetes Material & Methods: This research was done on 120 subjects classified into 40 with DPN T2DM and 40 with T2DM and 40 healthy considered as a control. As the conditions of the Iraqi Ministry of Health to evaluate the thesis clinically, that the number of samples examined should ...

Objective: Dental caries is considered as one of the major complication of diabetes mellitus. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) demonstrate evidence of oxidant–antioxidant imbalances in their biological fluids such as saliva. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation of oral health status and salivary total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in T2DM. Materials and Methods...

Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial disorder with various disturbances in biochemical processes such as antioxidant status and lipid peroxidation. The aim of present study was evaluation of the oxidative stress markers in saliva of T2DM patients. Materials and Methods: In this study, 80 (40 T2DM and 40 control) individuals were assessed. The salivary total antioxidan...
