objective: as the aqueous extract of capparis spinosa (cs) possess antidiabetic effect, he present study aims to reveal the possible  mechanism of action of cs in diabetic mice.materials and methods: both single and repeated oral administrations of aqueous extract of cs were performed in multi-low dose streptozotocin-induced (mlds) diabetic mice. euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp was used in as...

introduction: diabetes mellitus (dm) is now seen as a worldwide epidemic disease with high prevalence. exercise training (et) is known to promote beneficial changes in diabetic patients. the aim of this study was to compare the impact of continuous and intermittent aerobic training on glucose-4 transporter protein (glut-4) levels and insulin sensitivity in diabetic rats. materials and methods: ...

background: adiponectin is a protein produced exclusively by adipose tissue; the reduced level of which has been shown to be involved in a variety of obesity-related disorders, such as insulin resistance and diabetes, in different eth­nic groups. this cross-sectional study was conducted to determine adiponectin level and its association with insu­lin sensitivity in 20 adult overweight type-2 di...

objective(s): visfatin and vaspin are secreted by adipose tissue and play key roles in glucose homeostasis and subsequently are potential targets for diabetes treatment. resveratrol (rvs) corrects insulin secretion and improves insulin sensitivity. we investigated the rvs effects on serum antioxidants, insulin and glucose levels, also visfatin and vaspin genes expression in adipose tissue of st...

objective: there are some studies about the good effects of herbal medicine on blood glucose. this study was designed to evaluate the synergism effect of peganum harmala (p.harmala), quercus infectoria (q.i), vaccinium myrtillus (v.myrtillus), citrullos colocynthis (c.colocynthis), securigera securidaca (s.s) on blood glucosein type 2 diabetic patients. materials and methods: twenty four type 2...

diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases. insulin resistance is defined as a state that needs more insulin to get the biological effects achieved by a lower amount of insulin in the normal state. several molecules which are secreted through adipocytes have been involved in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. adiponectin as a 244 amino acid protein is exclusively expressed...
