sulfonic acid-based precursors (sap) play an important role in tailoring mesoporous silica’s and convert them to a solid acid catalyst with a bronsted-type nature. these kinds of solid acids contribute to sustainable and green chemistry by their heterogeneous, recyclable, and high efficiency features. therefore, knowing the properties and reactivity of saps can guide us to manufacture a sulfona...

abstract objective: it has been reported that adenosine deaminase (ada) is a good marker for insulin function but its clinical significance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) is not yet characterized. this study aims to assess the association of ada with glycated hemoglobin (hba1c) and uric acid (ua) in t2dm patients. materials and methods: the study population consisted of 120 subjects divided...

objective: type 2 diabetes mellitus (dm-2) is a chronic and progressive metabolic disorder known as a serious threatening condition in the individual and society. type 2 diabetes mellitus is known as the major cause of cardiovascular diseases (cvd). contradictory evidences about the effect of omega-3 fatty acids on cvd risk factors, particularly hypertension. the aim of this study was to determ...

docosahexaenoic acid (dha), as an omega-3 fatty acid, in a natural ligand of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (ppars). regarding the combinative effects of nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics and due to the lack of in vivo studies conducted using natural ligands of ppars, we aimed to evaluate the effects of dha supplementation on vascular function, telomerase activity, and pparγ-lxrα-abc...

results apoptosis induced by pa in ins-1 cells was significantly resolved after liraglutide treatment. simultaneously, autophagy was enhanced with the treatment of pa and liraglutide. conclusions: liraglutide appears to protect ins-1 cells from apoptosis ffa-induced by promoting autophagy. conclusions these findings provide a novel role for glp-1 analogue in preventing or treating with t2d. obj...

The oil contents of rye grain seeds ranged from 0.70% (type 25) to 3.92 % (type 1). Palmitic acid contents of oils changed between 10.82% (type 26) and 22.43% (type 10). In addition, while oleic acid contents of oil samples vary between 20.61% (type 17) and 37.86% (type 3), linoleic acid contents of oils changed between 18.91% (type 3) to 54.0% (type 13). Also, linolenic acid contents of oi...

abstractintroduction: majority of diabetic patients eventually develop hypertension. becase of its antioxidative properties, alpha-lipoic acid plays an effective role in decreasing oxidative stress and preventing endothelium dysfunction. the purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of alpha-lipoic acid on blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients. materials & methods: fifty-sev...

antibodies directed against the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (gad) are believed to be the main cause of destruction of pancreatic islet cells in type i (insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus. the enzyme was found both in the brain and pancreatic beta cells. although similarities in identity of gad in human and rat brain have been demonstrated, little is known about the interaction between ...
