AIMS Macro-nutrient preloads given 30 min before regular meals may improve metabolism. The aim was to investigate how type 2 diabetic patients react to a preload consisting of a blend of macro-nutrients with a low-glycemic index (Inzone Preload(®)). METHODS In a before-after study design, 30 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were enrolled in a 12-week program. All subjects were gi...

To investigate mechanisms that mediate the greater food intake induced by a fat-rich diet, the present study tested an acute "preload-to-test meal" paradigm in normal-weight rats. In this paradigm, the rats were given a small high-fat (HF) compared to low-fat (LF) preload and, after an intermeal interval, allowed to consume freely on a subsequent test meal. Modified versions of this paradigm we...

The development of sensor pins which can be easily integrated into ball screw drives for preload measurement is described in this paper. The sensor’s base body consists out of a steel pin with a special shaped load region. This complex surface is coated and structured with a sensory thin film system based on a hydrogenated carbon layer. The layer shows an excellent tribological stability combin...

While many of the cardiac limitations to exercise performance are now well-characterized, extracardiac have been less well recognized but nevertheless important. We propose that abnormalities preload reserve represents an under-recognized common cause limitations. further mechanistic links exist between conditions as seemingly disparate heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, nonalcohol...

The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effect of upper body complex training on power output, as well as to determine the requisite preload intensity and intra-complex recovery interval needed to induce power output increases. Nine amateur-level combat/martial art athletes completed four distinct experimental protocols, which consisted of 5 bench press repetitions at either: 65% of ...

Rotary ventricular assist device (VAD) support of the cardiovascular system is susceptible to suction events due to the limited preload sensitivity of these devices. This may be of particular concern with rotary biventricular support (BiVAD) where the native, flow balancing Starling response is diminished in both ventricles. The reliability of sensor and sensorless-based control systems which a...

Anestesi spinal merupakan tehnik anestesi dengan memasukkan obat ke ruang subarakhnoid lumbal untuk menghasilkan atau menimbulkan hilangnya aktifitas sensoris dan blok fungsi motorik. Efek samping yang paling sering dijumpai pada teknik adalah hipotensi sebagai akibat simpatis dalam subarakhnoid. Tujuan penelitian ini mengetahui perbedaan tekanan darah antara hidrasi preload tanpa cairan ringer...
