CABBAGE EXTRACTS AND INSULIN-LIKE ACTIVITY

Nonsuppressible insulin-like activity of human serum.

Serum Insulin-like Activity in Genetic and Experimental Diabetes Mellitus.

A modification of the epididymal fat pad assay for insulin-like activity has been applied to serum from normal subjects, untreated diabetic patients, and dogs with experimentally induced diabetes. Diabetic patients exhibited abnormally elevated serum ILA levels before and after glucose loading, and also demonstrated a delay in their ILA response to glucose. Dogs with experimental diabetes did n...

[Plasma insulin-like activity and liver damage in diabetics].

The relationship of plasma Insulin-like activity (I.L.A.) with liver damage in diabetics was studied in this report. The plasma I.L.A. was measured by in vivo-assay using hypohysectomized-adrenectomized-rats. The following results were obtained. 1) The diabetic who was diagnosed with complicated fatty liver by liver biopsy, had higher I.L.A. and the diabetic who was diagnosed complicating liver...

The Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (G>A) and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (C677T) Gene Variants and the Serum Levels of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1, Insulin, and Homeostasis Model Assessment in Patients with Acne Vulgaris

Background & Objective: To find an association between gene variants of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) with the risk of acne vulgaris (AV). Methods: In a case-control study, we investigated 150 AV patients and 148 healthy individuals (aged 18-25 years) for the IGF-1 G>A and MTHFR C677T polymorphis...

detection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts

in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...
