To determine the influence of weight reduction on plasma lipoproteins, studies were carried out in 15 nondiabetic patients of varying degrees of obesity and four obese insulin-dependent diabetics. All studies were carried out on a metabolic ward and patients underwent three dietary periods: Period I, 4 to 5 weeks of weight maintenance in the obese state; Period II, caloric restriction to 1000 k...

Background: Diabetes will remain a threat to global health. No longer just disorder of mature age, there is now well-recognized trend towards the young. Early diagnosis leads early intervention and prevention complications in this susceptible but vital portion population. Objective: To compare risk factors predisposing adults early-onset (<40 years old) versus late-onset (≥40 type 2 diabetes...

AIM The aim of this study is to identify determinants that are associated with uncontrolled hypertension among black Africans in the city of Brussels. DESIGN A not-matched case-control study. METHODS Seventy-five black Africans were assigned to a case group with uncontrolled hypertension and a control group with controlled hypertension. Demographic characteristics, lifestyle and compliance ...

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is predicted to increase over the coming years. AIM: objectives study were measure level awareness and healthy practices related five domains assess effect different demographic characteristics, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, body mass index (BMI) on these levels among diabetic patients in a rural Egyptian village. METHODS: A cross-sectio...

INTRODUCTION An important way of preventing type 2 diabetes is by adopting a proper diet by which means appropriate control over blood glycaemia and lipids can be achieved. OBJECTIVES To assess selected biochemical and haematological markers in overweight subjects or those suffering from type 2 diabetes in relation to their estimated dietary intake. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was conduc...

Introduction: The objectives of our work were to compare the serum concentrations lipid parameters,insulin, resistin, ghrelin, zinc and magnesium between two groups men with obese type 2 diabetes a control group study possible correlations these differentparameters. Material methods: This was monocentric case-control during period 19 October 2015 18 November 2015. It included biological paramet...

BACKGROUND We evaluated plasma ASP and its precursor C3 in type 2 diabetic men with/without rosiglitazone (ROSI) treatment compared to healthy non-obese men. We tested (1) whether plasma ASP or C3 are altered postprandially in subcutaneous adipose tissue or forearm muscle effluent assessed by arteriovenous (A-V) differences in healthy lean men and older obese diabetic men and (2) whether treatm...

To assess the mechanisms for the elevation of free fatty acids in noninsulin-dependent diabetes, free fatty acid metabolism and lipid and carbohydrate oxidation were compared in 14 obese diabetic Pima Indians and in 13 age-, sex-, and weight-matched nondiabetics. The studies were repeated in 10 of the diabetics after 1 mo of oral hypoglycemic therapy. Fasting plasma glucose concentrations were ...
