SEE PAGE 573 A n association between diabetes and the risk of heart failure has been seen in observational studies. The mechanism is undefined, and it remains unclear whether dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 this association is related to concomitantmedical problems associated with diabetes (e.g., ischemic heart disease, renal dysfunction, hypertension) or the direct effect of poorly controlled blo...

In this study we investigate the insertion of pioglitazone, a Thiazolidinedione, into the two different sizes of Carbon nanotub. It was shown that the insertion of pioglitazone into the carbon nanotube in a water solute environment could be related to the diameter of the nanotube and in the flow of the waters via hydrophilic interactions. This encapsulated drug-carbon nanotube molecule can be f...
