objective: diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disorders with severe impact on quality of life. reducing serum glucose levels and normalization of serum lipid is of great clinical importance for treating diabetes. to our knowledge, there are not any evidences about the anti-diabetic action of capparis spinosa root. in the present study the effects of the c. spinosa root extract on di...

purpose: the present study aimed to investigate the effect of immobilization stress on the induction of diabetes mellitus in rats. materials and methods: in this experimental study 30 mature male rats with an average weight of 200-220 gr were randomly divided into three groups of ten each. group i served as the control while the experiment groups were group ii (10 days) and groups iii (30 days)...

objective: diabetes is a common endocrine disorder caused by deficiency of insulin secretion or insulin resistant. nowadays, in addition to trying to find a safe way to control diabetes, find the low side effect way is important. this study was designed to find the effect of urtica dioica extract on glycemic control and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes. materials and methods:...

Neonatal diabetes mellitus is a rare form of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus that presents within the first month of life, lasting for at least two weeks and requiring insulin therapy. We report such a case admitted in our hospital.

OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that the genetic susceptibility to non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus is the same as that to insulin dependent disease and to see whether glucose intolerance is associated with specific HLA haplotypes. DESIGN Population based study of men in 1989 first tested for glucose tolerance in 1984. HLA haplotypes, including HLA-A, C, B, DR, and DQ, were defined s...

insulin is currently the drug of choice in treating patients with gestational diabetes mellitus but insulin is expensive, inconvenient to store and use and probably associated with more risks of asymptomatic hypoglycemia in comparison with some oral agents. this randomized clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of glyburide in patients with gestational diabetes mellitu...

Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) occurs predominantly after the age of 50 years but is not easy to distinguish from late onset insulin-dependent diabetes. It is likely that misclassification is rare in a Caucasian population. Whilst NIDDM is widely believed to be genetically determined, recent epidemiological observations have consistently revealed statistical associations betwee...
