In a study designed to assess the effects of acute emotional stiess on the carbohydrate and lipid metabolism of patients with diabetes mellitus, stress was induced under hypnosis by having the patient abreact the most unpleasant situation of his life. The effects of this stress on blood glucose levels, plasma free fatty acid levels, urinary glucose excretion and urine volume were determined by ...

OBJECTIVES: To investigate fasting glucose, glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and insulin–like growth factor 1 in patients with or without colorectal polyps. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated fasting glucose, insulin, insulin–like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), lipid profile and glucose tolerance test in 103 patients undergoing colonoscopy (52 normal and 53 wit...

Muscle mass inversely relates to 2 hours glucose levels after oral glucose load in non-diabetic subjects. A study in glucose intolerance subjects has never been performed. We conducted this study to determine the relationship between muscle mass and glucose level after oral glucose load in glucose intolerance subjects. Sixty Thai subjects, 44 drug-naïve, newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus...

Introduction: A specific role of dopamine D2 receptor signaling of midbrain and hypothalamic dopaminergic systems has not been yet identified in energy homeostasis. Here, we investigated effects of intra-ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) administration of the D2 receptor agonist (quinpirole) and antagonist (sulpiride) on plasma leptin and glucose levels in fasted rats. Methods: A guide cannul...

statement of the problem: reducing the patients' stress can prevent, or at least, limit the increase in blood glucose level. purpose: the study compares the effect of propofol and midazolam on blood glucose level in the patients undergoing dental implant surgery. the effect of pre-operational stress on blood glucose level during the surgery is also evaluated. materials and method: this prospect...

The relationships between postabsorptive glucose concentration and hepatic glucose output (HGO) and glucose clearance were studied in rats one day after treatment with various doses of streptozotocin (STZ; 0, 15, 30, 40, 50, or 75 mg/kg; n = 6 per dose; study 1). Glucose fluxes were estimated using a prolonged (6-h) infusion of [3-3H]glucose to ensure complete tracer equilibration at hyperglyce...

The important role of glycogen storage in liver metabolism and in the maintenance of blood sugar levels places it as one of the more important hepatic cell functions. Such a view is not incon sistent with the earl}7 recognition that the effect of hepatotoxic agents was often reflected in the ability of this organ to store glycogen ("2).In an other condition, that of dietary massive necrosis, im...

Objective: To observe the effect of delayed serum separation on various chemistry analytes. Study Design: Quasi Experimental study. Setting: Clinical Chemistry Laboratory, Sheikh Zayed Medical College & Hospital, Rahim Yar Khan. Period: 1st December 2021 to 31st January 2022. Material Methods: Fifty healthy volunteers age 25-55 years from both genders were included in study using consecutiv...

Salicylaldoxime (2 x 10(-3)m and less) inhibits cyclic photophosphorylation in intact Chlorella cells severely whereas photosynthetic O(2)-evolution and (14)CO(2)-fixation is hardly affected. Cyclic photophosphorylation in vivo was measured by following anaerobic light dependent glucose uptake. A similar difference in susceptibility has been observed with carbonylcyanide-p-trifluoromethoxypheny...
