Background. Garlic (Allium sativum Liin) is a root vegetable crop that widely grown in different countries the world. has chemical contents are useful to health, like phytochemicals anti-diabetics, including flavonoids and saponins. Flavonoids saponins have function of deferring absorption carbohydrates so glucose levels within blood diminish. Objective. This research aims compare effect fermen...

This paper presents an architecture and a synthesis method for compact numerical function generators (NFGs) for trigonometric, logarithmic, square root, reciprocal, and combinations of these functions. Our NFG partitions a given domain of the function into non-uniform segments using an LUT cascade, and approximates the given function by a quadratic polynomial for each segment. Thus, we can impl...

N-Nicotinoyl-2-(5-fluorouracil-1-yl)-D,L-glycine (NFG) methyl-(NFGM), ethyl-(NFGE) and isopropyl esters (NFGIp) were synthesized and their potential as a prodrug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) for rectal administration was investigated. Chemical conversion proceeded either by elimination of (5-FU) or by hydrolysis of ester group. 5-FU was released from NFGIp, NFGE and NFGM 90.5%, 71.3% and 48.5% of t...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the cerebral circulatory response to superimposed acute hypoxemia in growth-restricted fetuses with established brain-sparing flow (BSF) during basal conditions. MATERIAL AND METHODS 76 term fetuses suspected of growth restriction were exposed to Doppler velocimetry in the umbilical artery (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA), and in 38-39 cases also in Galen's vein ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate whether diabetes (DM) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) were associated with early alterations in left ventricular geometry and function in a large population of adolescents and young adults independently of major confounders. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed echocardiographic data of 1,624 14- to 39-year-old participants (mean age 26.6 ...

OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship of retinal vascular caliber with diabetes, glycemia, and diabetic retinopathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Population-based study using data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), comprising 5,976 individuals (whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Chinese) residing in six U.S. communities who were free of clinical cardiovascular disease at baseli...

OBJECTIVE It is unclear how well homeostasis model assessment of beta-cell function (HOMA-beta) predicts diabetes development beyond its components, especially glucose. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We identified 12,924 nondiabetic Koreans who had fasting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations measured in 2003 and again in 2008. To minimize the impact of differences in baseline glucose conce...

Objective: To determine if middle aged and older individuals with impaired fasting glucose (IFG), but no clinical evidence of cardiovascular disease, exhibit abnormal changes in proximal thoracic aortic stiffness or left ventricular mass when compared to healthy counterparts. Research Design and Methods: From the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, 2240 subjects with normal fasting glucose (...

This study aimed to investigate the association of Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) with the risk of diabetes in Koreans. Korean men (n = 790, 40-79 years) who had been never diagnosed for diabetes before participating were enrolled. Subjects were categorized into normal fasting glucose (NFG, n = 519), impaired fasting glucose (IFG, n = 188) and newly-onset diabetes (n = 83) according to fasting glucose...
