OBJECTIVE To investigate the factors associated with insulin resistance in children aged 4-7 years, and to identify the cutoff point of the triglyceride-glucose index for the prediction of insulin resistance in this population. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted with 403 children from a retrospective cohort. Insulin resistance was also evaluated in a sub-sample using the HOMA index...

Two novel colored fluorescent proteins were cloned and biophysically characterized from zooxanthellate corals (Anthozoa). A cyan fluorescent protein derived from the coral Montastrea cavernosa (mcCFP) is a trimeric complex with strong blue-shifted excitation and emission maxima at 432 and 477 nm, respectively. The native complex has a fluorescence lifetime of 2.66+/-0.01 ns and an inferred abso...

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity were associated with high rates of morbidity mortality. The aim this study was to investigate relationship between markers inflammation, disease severity, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, outcomes in patients without obesity. Materials Methods: Epidemiological, clinical, laboratory data collected from University Ho...

Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a global medical and social problem, which, in terms of population coverage around the world, becoming pandemic. The main cause premature death patients with diabetes diseases cardiovascular system. presence associated an increase risk developing coronary heart disease by two-four times, every sixth patient has signs myocardial infarction past. ASCVD early onset, rap...

Penicillium griseoroseum, a deuteromycete fungus producer of pectinolytic enzymes, was transformed with a gene encoding for green fluorescent protein (GFP). The selection of transformants was based on the homologous nitrate reductase gene (niaD). Protoplasts of a P. griseoroseum Nia mutant (PG63) were co-transformed with the plasmids pNPG1 and pAN52-1-GFP. The plasmid pNPG-1 carries the homolog...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB) on serum and hepatic profiles of obese rats fed on a western diet (WD). METHODS Twenty eight male Wistar rats were fed a standard rodent chow diet (CTL group) or WD ad libitum. After 10 weeks, WD rats were submitted to sham (WD SHAM) or duodenal-jejunal bypass (WD DJB). Body weight, fat pad depots, glycemia, insulinemia, HOMA-IR...

BackgroundRecently, an examination with the TyG index has developed as alternative to gold standard, by which this measurement a relatively high sensitivity in assessing IR. The only requires triglyceride levels and fasting blood glucose is expected be instrument used assess IR available all health facilities developing countries, especially Indonesia. In study, we analyzed concordance between ...

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the possible relationship between serum uric acid concentrations and insulin resistance in adolescents. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 74 participants from public school Sao Luis, Maranhao, aged 10 19 years. The was approved by Ethics Research Committee of University Hospital Universidade Federal do Maranhao (UFMA) under report 2,673,791. Anthropomet...
