conclusions according to the results, hearing impairment in high frequency sounds was more common in the diabetics than the healthy individuals. also, the severity of hearing loss in patients with diabetes was associated with the levels of creatinine (diabetic nephropathy). the hypothesis of the relationship between diabetes and hearing loss through nephropathy should be more examined in future...

conclusions this investigation revealed that berberis fruit extract has beneficial metabolic effects in patients with type ii diabetes. barberry may improve glucose catabolism via glycolysis pathway, stimulate insulin secretion or improve insulin function and finally decrease glucose uptake. our results indicated that berberis fruit regulates glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes....

We investigated the in vivo and in vitro effects of aspirin on several clinical assays of glycosylated hemoglobin. Acetylation of hemoglobin falsely increased the glycosylated hemoglobin fraction measured by "high-performance" liquid chromatography and electrophoresis, but isoelectric focusing and colorimetric techniques differentiated between acetylated and glycosylated fractions. Aspirin inge...
