OBJECTIVE To explore the impact of race/ethnicity on efficacy and safety of twice-daily insulin lispro mix 75/25 (LM75/25; 75% lispro protamine suspension, 25% insulin lispro) and once daily insulin glargine (GL). DESIGN, SETTING, PATIENTS More than 2,000 Patients with type 2 diabetes enrolled in the 24-week initiation phase of the DURABLE Trial. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Efficacy and safety va...

In frogs, the glossopharyngeal nerve (GL) innervates taste receptors on almost the entire tongue. The mandibular branch (MBF) and palatine branch (PN) of the facial nerve innervate taste receptors on a very small area at the base of the tongue and on the palate, respectively. In the present study, effects of amiloride, an epithelial sodium channel blocker, on the tonic responses of the GL, MBF ...

In frogs, the responses of the glossopharyngeal nerve (GL) to NaCl are enhanced after treatment of the tongue with 8-anilino-1-naphthalene-sulfonic acid (ANS), a hydrophobic probe for biological membranes. The enhancement by ANS treatment has been explained by removal of Ca2+ from the receptor membrane treated with ANS. To explore the mechanism of enhancement by ANS treatment, we recorded neura...

Immunocytochemical studies have shown that renin, which is normally located in the juxtaglomerular afferent arteriole, may also be found farther upstream toward the interlobular artery during chronic stimulation of the renin-angiotensin system. We assessed the renin distribution along the renal microvasculature using both quantitative analysis and immunocytochemistry in rabbits that received a ...

Candida krusei is osmotolerant yeast used for the production of glycerol. Addition of osmolyte such as NaCl into culture medium can increase the production of glycerol from glucose, but osmolytes may burden the glycerol separation. A coencapsulation method was suggested to create local extracellular hyperosmotic stress for glycerol accumulation. Firstly, the influence of osmotic stress induced ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Few studies have evaluated long-term durability of glycemic control in older patients. The aim of this study was to compare durability of glycemic control of twice-daily insulin lispro mix 75/25 (LM75/25; 75 % insulin lispro protamine suspension, 25 % insulin lispro) and once-daily insulin glargine (GL) added to oral antihyperglycemic medications in older patients (≥65 years...

When gustatory nerves are transected, the taste buds they normally innervate degenerate and specific deficits in taste-related behavior result depending on the nerves transected, the taste compounds used, and the nature of the behavioral test (see Spector, 2003). In rodents, the chorda tympani nerve (CT) which innervates the anterior tongue, and the glossopharyngeal nerve (GL) which innervates ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the ability of two starter insulin regimens to achieve glycemic control in a large, ethnically diverse population with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS During the initiation phase of the DURABLE trial, patients were randomized to a twice-daily lispro mix 75/25 (LM75/25; 75% lispro protamine suspension, 25% lispro) (n = 1,045) or daily glargine (GL) (n = 1,046)...
