objective(s): ghrelin is a peptide hormone that has been shown to have numerous central and peripheral effects. the central effects including gh secretion, food intake, and energy homeostasis are partly mediated by kiss1- kissr signaling pathway. ghrelin and its receptor are also expressed in the pancreatic islets. ghrelin is one of the key metabolic factors controlling insulin secretion from t...

gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is one of the important problems in pregnant women. this study conducted to determine association the level of serum glucose with fetal-maternal complications of gestational diabetes with insulin therapy. this study has been conducted as an existing data study, so medical records of all pregnant women with gdm that have been treated with insulin during 2 year...

conclusions an intraoperative dex infusion maintains blood glucose levels at a constant level relative to baseline in diabetic patients within 24 hours postoperatively. the frequency of hyperglycemia was low in group a in the perioperative period compared with that in the control group (group b). methods twenty diabetic patients were randomly allocated to two groups (n = 10). group a patients w...

Plasma glucose, insulin, and C peptide concentrations were determined after an oral glucose load in normal subjects and in a group of patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus before and during a short course of treatment with chloroquine. In the control group there was a small but significant reduction in fasting blood glucose concentration but overall glucose tolerance and hormone...

Small compounds that activate the insulin-dependent signaling pathway have potential therapeutic applications in controlling insulin-independent diabetes mellitus. In this study, we investigated whether soybean isoflavones could induce the expression of SHARP-2, a downstream component of insulin-dependent signaling pathway, associated with the regulation of blood glucose. One such compound call...
