iabetes is a common endocrine disease in humans. Leptin secretion is influenced by many factors and although the growth hormone/insulin like growth factor (GH/IGF) axis plays an important role in the regulation of body composition, the physiological interaction between Leptin and IGF-1 system remain unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between Leptin and IGF-1 in ty...

Plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) transport kinetics were determined from the disappearance of 125I-LDL injected into age- and weight-matched groups of 13 normal subjects, 20 mild diabetics, and 8 moderately severe diabetic patients (fasting plasma glucose less than 150 and greater than 150 mg/100 ml, respectively). In mild diabetics, LDL apo-lipoprotein-B (apo-B) synthetic rate (SR) was sig...

PURPOSE To compare the levels of calcium and phosphorus in the aqueous humor and serum of diabetics and non-diabetics. METHODS We divided patients into two groups: seventy-six non-diabetic cataract patients and fifty-two diabetic cataract patients. The diabetic group was divided again into three subgroups: twenty-six patients with no diabetic retinopathy, thirteen patients with non-proliferat...

OBJECTIVES To investigate changes in the fat content of abdominal compartments and muscle area during weight loss using confounder-adjusted chemical-shift-encoded magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in overweight diabetics. METHODS Twenty-nine obese diabetics (10/19 men/women, median age: 59.0 years, median body mass index (BMI): 34.0 kg/m2) prospectively joined a standardized 15-week weight-los...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Obesity is a common and rapidly growing health problem today. Obesity is characterized by the increase of body fat and an excess of total body fat and, in particular, visceral fat accumulation, is considered to be a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus. To determine whether the malfunction of the mesenteric adipose tissue plays an important role in the diabetic related metab...

We aim to explore the associations between serum uric acid (SUA) and obesity and cardio-cerebrovascular events (CCEs) in Chinese inpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). 2 962 inpatients with T2DM were stratified into quartile based on SUA concentrations. There were significant increases in the prevalence of both obesity (32.6%, 41.9%, 50.1%, and 62.8%, respectively, p < 0.001 for trend...

INTRODUCTION A Singapore study reported that 99% of diabetics had received some diabetes mellitus (DM) education. Another study reported that the Singapore public is generally well-informed about DM but whether diabetics are well-informed is not known. The objectives of this study were to determine DM knowledge of diabetics visiting the Emergency Department (ED) and to determine the diabetics' ...

Background: A large proportion of CKD patients have inadequate BP control, and the proportions vary from studies to studies. Clinic is considered insufficient diagnose HTN monitor overall control because it does not correlate well with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), which encompasses white-coat or masked HTN. associated only an abnormal dipping pattern but also Objective this stud...

Abstract We conducted a systematic review of human trials examining the effects dietary phytochemicals on Nrf2 activation. In accordance with PRISMA guidelines, Medline, Embase and CAB abstracts were searched for articles from inception until March 2020. Studies in adult humans that measured activation (gene or protein expression changes) following ingestion phytochemical, either alone combinat...
