The optimal daily dose of metformin is thought to be 2000 mg, however patients with metformin intolerance cannot reach this target dose. Participate in this study are metformin intolerant. Metformin intolerant patients have been defined as those not able to be treated with the metformin daily dose
The study addresses the problem that postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes have a higher incidence of bone breaks despite their often normal bone mineral density (BMD).
The investigators pursued two hypotheses, that:
1. 40-minute bout of downhill exercise will increase the CICP/CTX osteogenic
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and Glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) are incretin hormones, which stimulate glucose dependent insulin secretion, inhibit glucagon secretion, delay gastric emptying, suppress appetite and improve peripheral glucose uptake and disposal. Dipeptidyl
There is a heavy burden of metabolic disease in hepatitis C infected populations Allison et al (1994) were the first to identify an interaction between chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and diabetes, demonstrating an increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes among HCV-infected patients
3 Background The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery elicits generalized non-specific systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and subsequent activation of the cytokine, complement, and coagulation-fibrinolytic cascades (1). In approximately 11% of the patients SIRS may
A major change in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was initiated by the understanding that many women with this disorder compensate insulin resistance with a period of hypersecretion of insulin by the pancreatic ß-cell. In addition, women with PCOS have significantly higher basal
Renal sodium retention and extracellular fluid volume expansion are hallmarks of nephrotic syndrome. There is abundant evidence that this occurs even in the absence of activation of hormones that are known to activate renal Na transporters. Proteinuria not only reflects glomerular damage, but also
AIDS continues to be a major global health priority. Although important progress has been achieved in preventing new HIV infections and in lowering the annual number of AIDS-related deaths, the number of people living with HIV worldwide continued to grow in 2008, reaching an estimated 33.4 million.
Aims and Methods: The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) continues to increase globally and brings with it a parallel increase in the associated cardiovascular disease complications. Correction of platelet hyperactivity holds promise for this high-risk population of T2D patients by contributing to
It is well known that there is a progressive deterioration in beta-cell function over time in type 2 diabetes (DM2), as indicated by the UKPDS (United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study), regardless of therapy allocation, albeit conventional (mainly diet), insulin, chlorpropamide, glibenclamide or
Given the known roles of proteases and PARs in coagulation, inflammation, pain, healing and protection, the need for development of a PAR antagonist as a therapeutic agent for treatment of thrombosis, atherosclerosis and inflammation is well-recognized. Thus, blocking PAR action by inhibiting the
Study Endpoints:
Primary Endpoint:
• The primary endpoint of this study is the change in the kinetics of tissue hemoglobin oxygen desaturation (expressed as time constants) following the onset of exercise.
Secondary endpoints of this study include percent and absolute change in:
- Peak oxygen
HIV protease inhibitors (PIs) have been associated with type 2 diabetes. To design future HIV drugs that have have the least adverse metabolic effects, it is necessary to identify the disorders of glucose metabolism with PI therapy. Previously PIs have been shown to acutely induce insulin resistance
Changes in body composition and wasting have been a constant concern for people living with HIV/AIDS. Testosterone and its derivatives, anabolic steroids (AS) are being used by persons with HIV/AIDS (PHA's) to treat AIDs related wasting syndrome and also for bodybuilding purposes. some studies have
