OBJECTIVE To investigate and compare glucose and lipid metabolism biomarkers in non-diabetic peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patients. METHODS The study followed a prospective and cross-sectional design. PARTICIPANTS Participants included all prevalent end-stage renal disease patients under renal replacement therapy treated in a university-based clinic. INTERVENTIONS There were no in...

The diversity of plants in Armenia is due to the singularity natural environment. However, biochemical activity these has not been studied well. goal was investigate biological activities as well antihyperglycemic properties Rumex obtusifolius L. rabbits with hyperglycemia. According obtained data, R. extracts possessed high antioxidant chemical-based tests. GS/MS analysis its methanol allowed ...

Measures of lung function are heritable, and thus, we sought to utilise genetics propose drug-repurposing candidates that could improve respiratory outcomes. Lung measures were found be genetically correlated with seven druggable biochemical traits, further evidence a causal relationship between increased fasting glucose diminished function. Moreover, developed polygenic scores for specifically...

Purpose Glycogen storage disease (GSD) type 1a is an autosomal recessive inborn error of carbohydrate metabolism which affects glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. Severe fasting hypoglycemia and secondary biochemical abnormalities such as hyperuricemia occur. Molecular analysis differentiates GSD type 1 into different clinical phenotypes, of which Type 1b but not Type 1a, is associated with inf...

Insulinoma is a deceptive endocrine tumour that can easily mislead even an astute clinician because of its bizarre and nonspecific symptom complex. A 45 year old woman presented with altered behaviour, seizures and spells of coma and was being treated as a case of hysterical neurosis. Biochemical and radiological investigations revealed fasting hypoglycaemia, endogenous hyperinsulinism, and a p...

Materials and methods We measured the weight and height and calculated body mass index (BMI). We also performed biochemical tests of lipid profile and fasting glucose. Systemic blood pressure was measured on the right side using a digital sphygmomanometer. Waist circumference was measured from the midpoint between the last rib and the iliac crest. The criteria proposed by the National Cholester...

In view of alleged antidiabetic potential, effect of the petroleum ether, methanol, and aqueous extracts of Terminalia catappa Linn (combretaceae) fruit, on fasting blood sugar levels and serum biochemical analysis in alloxan-induced diabetic rats were investigated. All the three extracts of Terminalia catappa produced a significant antidiabetic activity at dose levels 1/5 of their lethal doses...

objective(s)this study was designed to evaluate the effect of ramadan fasting on body composition, aerobic and anaerobic power, strength, plasma lipids profile and serum glucose among collegiate wrestlers.materials and methods fourteen male collegiate wrestlers (age, 20.12±2.5 yrs) volunteered as subjects for the study. subjects were tested one week before the beginning of ramadan, the last two...

Routine detection of health parameters is desirable to recognize the early onset metabolic diseases (e.g., diabetes mellitus) and personalize their treatment. Promising are non-invasive, affordable portable technologies, such as breath sensors. Yet, selective monitoring markers acetone for lipolysis) with sensors track changes that can reveal disease-related abnormalities remains challenging. H...

OBJECTIVE To describe: a) the methods used to quantify biochemical indicators of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), and other cardiovascular risk indicators in the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey 2006 (ENSANUT 2006) and b) compare the sub-sample with the non-selected participants in diverse socio-demographic, anthropometric and health characteristics. MATERIAL AND METHODS A sub-sample of 6 0...
