objective: stress and cortisol increase blood glucose. considering the role of central catecholaminergic pathways on hypothalamic-pituitary adrenocortical axis, and results of some studies that alprazolam (a benzodiazepine) has inhibitory effect on catecholamines, it seems that alprazolam may reduce blood glucose. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of alprazolam on serum insulin l...

Oral CDCA and UDCA have different effects on gut pancreatic hormone secretion. A single dose of increased fasting secretion the hormones GLP-1 OXM with an accompanying increase in insulin also reduced postprandial GIP secretion, which was associated insulin. In contrast, did not change or postprandially. could be beneficial to patients obesity diabetes.

Objective(s): Arsenic, a toxic metal in drinking water and butyric acid (BA) is a free fatty acid found in many foods. These two can induce oxidative stress in some tissues. The present study investigated the protective effect of metformin against toxicity induced by Arsenic (As) and BA in isolated mice liver mitochondria and pancreatic islets. Materials and Methods: In this study, liver mitoch...

introduction: leptin is a hormone resulting from the obesity gene which could be important in the pathogenesis of the insulin. only limited data concerning the interaction of insulin, glucose tolerance and free leptin are available and no data exist on the potential influence of free vs. bound circulating leptin. we, therefore, studied percentage of free to total leptin in diabetic patients. ma...

Hemin is an activator of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), enzyme catalyzing degradation. Up-regulation HO-1 observed in response to various pathological conditions. Moreover, pharmacological activation associated with numerous beneficial effects the organism. was shown exert, among other, anti-diabetic and anti-obesity properties. These are strongly linked adipose tissue. However, direct influence hemi...
