BACKGROUND Obesity, hypertension, and hypertriglyceridemia are important risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2D). We wanted to assess the risk associated with these three factors alone and in combination, and the relative importance of these and several other risk factors (eg, nonfasting glucose) as predictors of T2D. METHODS Risk factors in a Norwegian population (n = 109,796) aged 40-45 year...

INTRODUCTION In humans, the normal metabolic activity produces free radicals that constantly, along with other risk factors, including hypercholesterolemia may be responsible for the onset of degenerative diseases. Some bioactive compounds present in blackberry (Rubus spp.) have the ability to act as natural antioxidants can make the food to minimize effects on the body caused by reactive oxyge...

Background: Given the high prevalence of type II diabetes and its complications, the evidence regarding the beneficial effects of probiotic yogurt on some cardiovascular biomarkers in diabetic patients is worthy of investigation. Aim: To investigate the effect of probiotic yogurt on blood glucose level and cardiovascular biomarkers in patients with type II diabetes. Method:This randomized, clin...

A bad sample gives an invalid laboratory test result. There are several reasons that can cause a to be unfit for examination. The serum most often causes errors hemolysis, jaundice and lipemia. Icteric is yellow brown due hyperbilirubinemia (increased levels of bilirubin in the blood). may interference with tests. affect measurements at wavelength 400-500 nm. Examination by method oxidase or pe...
