Objective: The study aimed to determine the effect of eight weeks high intensity interval (HIIT) and sub-maximal continuous trainings on plasma betatrophin level in diabetic rats treated with metformin. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 42 diabetic wistar rats were divided into six groups (n=7): diabetic control (C), diabetic control + metformin consumption(C+M), diabetic HIIT...

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common chronic disease with diverse complications. About 10% of the earth's population suffer from this disease. For smart control of the blood glucose in DM patients, an artificial pancreas was designed and simulated by a predictive sliding mode controller considering the time delay of insulin effect. Method: In this method, one of the time-delay glucos...

Objective(s): The aim of this study was to explore the molecular mechanism of mirtazapine with respect to energy metabolism in Streptozotocin-induced diabetic liver of rats by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned into 3 groups including control, type 1 diabetes me...

noise is considered as one of the harmful factors at industrial environments. it affects human health in different aspects including harmful influences on auditory, vision, neurological and psychiatric systems, hormones, physiological and mental systems. paying attention to the importance of hormonal effects on human body seems to possess crucial importance. the aim of the present study is to i...

The incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has risen to epidemic proportions. The pathophysiology of T2DM is complex and involves insulin resistance, pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and visceral adiposity. It has been known for decades that a disruption of biological rhythms (which happens the most profoundly with shift work) increases the risk of developing obesity and T2DM. Re...

There is a substantial amount of clinical data showing the relationship between diabetes and atherosclerosis and its clinical complications (1,2). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is more common in people with diabetes than in subjects without the disease, and when it is present, it also has a more aggressive course and a worse prognosis (3). The bulk of epidemiological data has firmly established ...

Plasma glucose concentration is normally maintained within a narrow range despite wide fluctuations in the supply (meal) and demand (exercise) for nutrients. In adult humans, plasma glucose concentrations throughout a 24-hour period average 90 mg/ dl, with maximum values 60-90 minutes after meals, usually not exceeding 140 mg/ dl, and values during a moderate fast or exercise usually remaining ...
