the hypoglycemic effect of ethanolic extract of casearia esculenta was investigated on alloxan induced diabetic rats. the blood glucose levels were measured at 0, 1, 2 and 3 h after the treatment. the ethanolic extract of c. esculenta (250 mg/kg) reduced the blood glucose of normal rat from 85.50±1.22 to 64.67±3.27 mg/dl, 3 h after oral administration of the extract (p<0.05). it also significan...

OBJECTIVE: Social belief and experimental evidences indicate that opium and its alkaloids, morphine, produced hypoglycemic effects in animal models. This study was conducted in order to determine the role of morphine on blood glucose and insulin. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is an empirical analysis investigating the laboratory albino male rats weighing 200-250 g. Rats in the control group recei...

diabetes is considered as a global affecting disease with an increasing contribution to both mortality rate and cost damage in the society. therefore, tight control of blood glucose levels has gained significant attention over the decades. this paper proposes a method for blood glucose level regulation in type 1 diabetics. the control strategy is based on combining the fuzzy logic theory and si...

mobile phones are two-way radios that emit electromagnetic radiation in microwave range. as the number of mobile phone users has reached 6 billion, the bioeffects of exposure to mobile phone radiation and mobile phone electromagnetic interference with electronic equipment have received more attention, globally. as self-monitoring of blood glucose can be a beneficial part of diabetes control, ho...

background: internal barriers are an important group of barriers to blood glucose level control. finding the viewpoints of patients, their families and medical team on these barriers is an important step towards correct planning and effective control of blood glucose. this study aimed to find and compare viewpoints of patients, their families and medical team about internal barriers to control ...

Background: People who use home blood glucose monitors may use their mobile phones in the close vicinity of medical devices. This study is aimed at investigating the effect of the signal strength of 900 MHz GSM mobile phones on the accuracy of home blood glucose monitors.Methods: Sixty non-diabetic volunteer individuals aged 21 - 28 years participated in this study. Blood samples were analyzed ...
