background: some patients with gdm (gestational diabetes mellitus) still experience impaired glucose tolerance after childbirth and will be affected by diabetes mellitus type 2. objectives: the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between hs-crp serum levels with insulin resistance six weeks after childbirth in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus type 2. methods: in this...

Introduction: Several factors such as diseases, medications and humoral agents can delay or speed up wound healing process. Because of the limited information about the hormonal changes during wound healing, in this study the relationship between serum levels of growth hormone, insulin and cortisol and wound healing in normal and diabetic rats was evaluated. Methods: Male Wistar rats )weigh...

Objective(s): Diabetes can gradually cause damage to the function and structure of male gonads. This survey was conducted to investigate the effect of troxerutin on hormonal changes, serum oxidative stress indices, and testicular function and structure in prepubertal diabetic rats.Materials and Methods: Fifty prepubertal (6 weeks old) male Wistar rats were divided into five groups including Con...

Induced oxidative stress in diabetes mellitus (DM) plays a critical role in insulin resistance. Fork head-related transcription factor (FOXO) proteins are important transcriptional factors involved in oxidative stress and insulin resistance. Resveratrol (RSV) is a polyphenol with hypoglycemic and antioxidant properties. The aims of the present study were to examine the effects of RSV on FOXO ge...

conclusions: prevalence of fatty liver is high in our obese children. it was associated with criteria of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, so visceral fat may participate in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome or merely serve as a marker of increased risk for the metabolic complications of obesity. patients and methods: 102 obese iranian children, referred to pediatric clinics f...

b a ckground: diabetes is an important disease. this disease is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from perturbation in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. honey bee venom contains a wide range of polypeptide agents. the principle components of bee venom are mellitin and phospholipase a2. these components increase insulin secretion from the β-cells of pancreas....

background : animal studies have shown antioxidant effects of royal jelly (rj) and its effect on insulin resistance as the most common complication of type 2 diabetes. this study was conducted to determine the effect of rj intake on serum total antioxidant capacity, malondialdehyde and insulin resistance in t2dm. methods : in this randomized controlled trial, forty-six type 2 diabetic patients,...
