We readwith great interest the recent article by Leeds et al. (1) regarding the effect of the presence of celiac disease (CD) on glycometabolic parameters in type 1diabetic subjects and, above all, on diabetes-related microvascular complications. Indeed, several epidemiological and genetic studies strongly suggest a morethan-random association between type 1 diabetes and CD (2,3), but no curren...

Diabetes mellitus can be a complex disorder described by chronic progressive metabolic and hyperglycemia arising from dysregulation of carbohydrate, lipid protein metabolism. Verapamil is class non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, which prevents the second phase glucose stimulated insulin release inhibiting intake into cytosol beta cells also sulfonylurea glucagon-induced release. The ...

A negative influence of acute hyperglycemia on systemic endothelial function (brachial artery) has been shown. However, myocardial perfusion during postprandial hyperglycemia has not been investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated the eff...
