Complications of Diabetes mellitus caused by persistent hyperglycemia is a challenge in management the disease as synthetic drugs used are often expensive, specific and associated with side effects. This study was aimed to determine anti-diabetic potential mesocarp extract Hyphaene thebaica fruit streptozotocin-induced Diabetic rats. The hypoglycemic effects methanol, aqueous ethylacetate oral ...

BACKGROUND Identification of sulfonylureas in blood may be useful in the evaluation of hypoglycemic crises of unknown origin. The aim of the present study was to develop a highly selective liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS) method using an ion-trap detector for rapid screening, identification, and quantification of sulfonylureas in human plasma. METHODS After ...

The hypoglycemic effects after oral administration of vanadium have been studied previously in many species such as rats, mice and even humans. However, there has been no prior report on the glucose lowering effect of vanadium on diabetic dogs. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the hypoglycemic effects of oral vanadium on diabetic dogs. Diabetes mellitus in the dogs studied w...

OBJECTIVE Chromium treatment has been reported to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, concern exists about the possible toxic effects of chromium picolinate. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of chromium treatment in the form of chromium yeast on glycemic control in a Western population of patients with type 2 diabetes who were being treated with ...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the impact of different hypoglycemic drugs on exercise-mediated blood glucose (BG) reduction. METHODS One-hundred and five retirees who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) within a two-year period were included in this study. The participants were instructed to walk for 20 to 30 minutes at a moderate-speed (4.0 to 4.5 km/h) after breakfast. Blood pressur...
