Insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and type 2 diabetes are among the sequelae of metabolic syndromes that occur in 60-80% of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients treated with HIV-protease inhibitors (PIs). Studies to elucidate the molecular mechanism(s) contributing to these changes,
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to identify genes that are expressed in skeletal muscle, encode proteins with functional significance in mitochondria, and are associated with type 2 diabetes.
METHODS
We screened for differentially expressed genes in skeletal muscle of Psammomys obesus (Israeli sand
BACKGROUND
Kalpaamruthaa (KA) is a formulatory herbal preparation has beneficial antioxidant, anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties against cardiovascular damage (CVD).
OBJECTIVE
The present study was undertaken to investigate the protective role of KA in type II diabetes mellitus-induced
Chronic inflammation and insulin resistance form hallmarks of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). An increased circulating level of the serine protease granzyme B (GzmB) is observed during prolonged inflammation and is implicated in the pathogenesis of several chronic inflammatory diseases. Moreover,
Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. Endothelial dysfunction with impaired endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS) activity is a widely accepted cause of diabetic vasculopathy. The mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction in diabetes
BACKGROUND
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of non-surgical periodontal treatment in improving periodontal status and reducing gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18, elastase activity, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)--8 and --9 in periodontitis
BACKGROUND
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of non-surgical periodontal treatment in improving periodontal status and reducing gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-18, elastase activity, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)--8 and --9 in periodontitis
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by insulin resistance. However, the complete molecular mechanism remains unclear. In this study, zebrafish were fed a long-term high-fat diet to induce type 2 diabetes, which resulted in a higher body weight, body mass index, more lipid vacuoles in liver,
Adiponectin, also referred to as AdipoQ or ACRP30, is a plasma protein produced and secreted exclusively from adipose tissue. The protein contains a collagen-like domain and a C1q-like globular domain. A protease-generated globular segment enhances fatty acid oxidation in muscles, thereby modulating
Recently, vaspin and visfatin/Nampt have been identified as interesting novel adipokines having insulin-sensitizing and insulin-mimetic effects, respectively. However, the relationship between them has not been elucidated; and their circulating levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have not been
The rat strain Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) is an animal model for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Nidd8/of has been identified as one of 14 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) involved in the diabetes by a whole genome search in 160 F2 progenies obtained by mating the OLETF and F344 rats.
Type 2 diabetes constitutes the main bulk (85-90%) of diabetic population. It is a chronic metabolic disorder with progressive ?beta-cell dysfunction, impaired insulin actions and various other abnormalities. Insulin response of beta-cell is more after oral glucose or following meal than intravenous
BACKGROUND
Clopidogrel, aspirin (ASA), and the fixed-dose combination of extended-release dipyridamole and ASA (ER-DP+ASA) are widely used in post-stroke regimens.
OBJECTIVE
This study compared serial changes in multiple biomarkers of platelet activation with ER-DP+ASA and clopidogrel with or
