in this study, a sodalite nanozeolite was synthesized and characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electronic microscopy (sem). following the morphology evolution of the sodalite nanozeolite in the sem images illustrates the formation of the spherical particle with a size between 60 and 80 nm. then, carbon paste electrode (cpe) was modified by sodalite nanozeolite and ni2+ ions. th...

nanotechnology has opened up new opportunities for the design of nanoscale electronic devices suitable for developing high-performance biofuel cells. glucose-based biofuel cells as green energy sources can be a powerful tool in the service of small-scale power source technology as it provides a latent potential to supply power for various implantable medical electronic devices. by using physiol...

background hypovitaminosis d has been associated with the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) in many observational studies. objectives we report the first study of the impact of prenatal vitamin d supplementation on postpartum dysglycemia in gdm patients in a randomized clinical trial. patients and methods women with gdm at 12 - 32 weeks of gestation were assigned randomly to ei...

some recent studies have revealed the relationship among excess ferritin, coronary heart disease, and insulin resistance. to assess the association between serum ferritin concentration and impaired fasting glucose, this study was designed. a total of 187 people including 91 impaired fasting glucose (ifg) subjects and 96 normal glucose subjects who had been recognized in a large epidemiological ...

carbon spheres were fabricated by hydrothermal method and their structural properties were investigated. carbon spheres with average sizes around of 230, 320 and 430 nm were synthesized in different concentration of glucose aqueous solution and different hydrothermal reaction time. the temperature of 180 °c by a hydrothermal reaction was fixed in all of glucose concentration and hydrothermal re...

objective(s): this study was to investigate the potential anti-diabetic effects of alcoholic extract of salvia hydrangea in rats. materials and methods:thirty five male wistar rats were divided into five groups namely non-diabetic control, diabetic control, and three experimental diabetic that received either salvia hydrangea extract for 21 days at the doses of 100 and 200 or glibenclamide at t...

objective:fasting plasma glucose (fpg) analysis is the most importantmethod for detection and diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. due to difficulty and problems of this method for determination of glycemia in diabetic patients, recently the use of fasting salivary glucoseas a simple and non-invasive method to evaluate fpghas came into significant considerationof specialists. the aim of this study w...

conclusions the prevalence of diabetes is considerable in drivers and is poorly controlled. educations during the annual check-ups are helpful in reducing glucose levels and further complications. background diabetes complications such as retinopathy and diabetic foot are more important in drivers compared to general population. objectives this study was designed to determine the prevalence of ...

conclusions blood glucose and hemodynamic changes caused by surgical stress were not significantly different between two groups. results there was not significantly difference between blood glucose level of both groups during 10 minutes before, 20 and 60 minutes after the intiation of anesthesia. heart rate changes in the general and spinal groups compared to the baseline level were decreased u...

objective: it is well known that diabetes is one of the main health challenges. according to the evidence presented in recent years by investigators, serum uric acid has emerged as a possible risk factor for diabetes mellitus. the aim of the present study was to compare the mean serum uric acid and the antioxidant activity of glutathione levels in patients with diabetes and the control group. m...
