The present study was designed to investigate the antidiabetic activity of aqueous extract of Acacia tortilis polysaccharide (AEATP) from gum exudates and its role in comorbidities associated with diabetes in STZ-nicotinamide induced diabetic rats. Male albino Wistar rats were divided into control, diabetic control, glimepiride treated (10 mg/kg), and diabetic rats treated with 250, 500, and 10...

Background: Diabetes mellitus type 2 with dyslipidemia is a common disease. Previous studies suggest that chemical constituent present in pinus eldarica (P. eldarica) nut posesess antioxidant properties and positively affect glucose metabolism. However blood glucose and cholesterol lowering effects of P. eldarica nut have not been studied so far. Objective: The present study was undertaken to...

Fasting blood glucose was determined in 27 adults with essential hypertension at four different periods during a 12-month treatment with doxazosin, an alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist, and in another set of 20 adult hypertensive patients, after 3 months treatment with amlodipine, a calcium antagonist. The mean fasting blood glucose levels at various determinations during doxazosin therapy did not ...

impaired fasting glucose identifies individuals at high risk of progression to diabetes but the role of ifg as a coronary artery disease risk factor, independent of its progression to diabetes and its association with other coronary artery disease risk factors ,is unclear. a cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the hypothesis that impaired fasting glucose increased the likelihood of ...

value and -therefore any improvement in homoeossatic control would have been obvious during pregnancy. Thus our argument that the shape of the curve may be a more importa indicator of homoeostatc control than any actual level reached appears to be supported by these cases. It is probable that factors controlling fasting blood glucose concentrations are separate from those affecting homoeostatic...

The aim of this study was to analyze the acute metabolic response to exercise in fasting and postprandial. For this, ten individuals were submitted to an incremental treadmill test, with an initial speed of 5 and 1 km/h increments every minute, with no inclination, and a body composition assessment. After this 1st day, all volunteers were submitted to two experimental procedures (fasting and po...

The study was done in 60 diabetic patients. These patients were divided into two groups, Group I (n=30) receiving Magnesium and Metformin therapy for a period of 16 weeks and Group II (n=30) receiving only Metformin therapy. The blood samples were collected and analyzed for Serum Magnesium and fasting blood glucose at 0, 4, 8, 16 weeks respectively. In GROUP I Mean Baseline value for S. Magnesi...

BACKGROUND Diabetes represents one of the major health challenges in Switzerland, and early diagnosis and treatment is mandatory to prevent or delay diabetes-related morbidity and mortality. For the purpose of identifying affected individuals, early screening in pharmacies is a valuable option. In this survey, we aimed to determine blood glucose and metabolic control in an unselected population...
