PURPOSE To assess whether exclusion of patients with conditions that could lead to large fluctuations of serum glucose, would increase the accuracy of pleural fluid glucose in predicting pleurodesis outcome in patients with malignant pleural effusion subjected to bleomycin pleurodesis. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 162 patients with recurrent, symptomatic malignant pleural disease was p...

OBJECTIVE We studied whether patterns of glucose absorption during oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) were abnormal in individuals with impaired glucose regulation and whether they were related to sex and body size (height and fat-free mass). We also examined how well differences in insulin sensitivity and β-cell function measured by gold-standard tests were reflected in the corresponding OGT...

The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of dietary glucose supplementation on gastric emptying (GE) of both glucose and fat, postprandial blood glucose homeostasis, and appetite in eight older subjects (4 males, 4 females, aged 65--84 yr). GE of a drink (15 ml olive oil and 33 g glucose dissolved in 185 ml water), blood glucose, insulin, gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) and gluc...

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 e...

The effect of pioglitazone on splanchnic glucose uptake (SGU), endogenous glucose production (EGP), and hepatic fat content was studied in 14 type 2 diabetic patients (age 50 +/- 2 years, BMI 29.4 +/- 1.1 kg/m(2), HbA(1c) 7.8 +/- 0.4%). Hepatic fat content (magnetic resonance spectroscopy) and SGU (oral glucose load- insulin clamp technique) were quantitated before and after pioglitazone (45 mg...
