insulin resistance/fever

Consideration is given to the possibility and mechanisms of insulin resistance as a function of human tolerance to hyperthermia. Poor tolerance of hyperthermia was observed in persons with initially altered metabolism. Administration of sugar test by these persons revealed high levels of insulin

Intravenous glucose tolerance test (ivGTT) and insulin releasing test (IRT) were performed in 32 cases with epidemic hemorrhagic fever (EHF). 23 patients had impaired glucose tolerance, 17 patients showed hyperinsulinemia in fasting state, 12 patients had flat insulin response curves and most

OBJECTIVE In this study, we examined the efficacy of whole body hyperthermia (WBH) on obesity-induced insulin resistance in diabetic mice. METHODS Male db/db mice were treated with WBH 3 times per week for 12 weeks. The rectal temperature of mice reached 38.0 degrees C 5 min after heating, and was

OBJECTIVE Inflammation is known to alter lipid profiles and to induce insulin resistance. This study was planned to test the hypothesis that familial Mediterranean ferver (FMF) patients and their first-degree asymptomatic relatives may have lipid profile changes and/or insulin resistance, similar to

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of intensive insulin therapy on insulin resistance(IR) and serum proteins after radical gastrectomy. METHODS Twenty-two gastric cancer patients were randomly divided into the control (n=11) and intensive insulin therapy group (n=11), and underwent distal radical

BACKGROUND There is some evidence that asthmatic women are more likely to have abnormal sex hormone levels. A study was undertaken to determine whether asthma and allergy were associated with irregular menstruation in a general population, and the potential role of asthma medication for this

Acute and chronic hyperthermic treatments in diabetic animal models repeatedly improve insulin sensitivity and glycemic control. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that an acute 1h bout of hyperthermic treatment improves glucose, insulin, and leptin responses to an oral

High doses of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induce transient hyperglycemia, then chronic hypoglycemia and increased insulin resistance. In addition, appetite is reduced, while body temperature and concentrations of cortisol and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) are elevated. Furthermore,

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) and central core disease in humans have been associated with mutations in the skeletal ryanodine receptor (RyR1). Heterozygous mice expressing the human MH/central core disease RyR1 R163C mutation exhibit MH when exposed to halothane or heat stress. Considering that many

Insulin sensitivity of insulin dependent tissues (muscle, adipose tissue, liver) is subject to a variety of influences. Any change in insulin sensitivity is compensated in healthy subjects by a dynamic change in insulin secretion, which will decrease following a rise in insulin sensitivity and

Glucocorticoids are used as anti-inflammatory agents and are associated with many side effects including hyperglycemia, hypertension, pancreatitis, peptic ulcer, and so on. Hyperglycemia is a common side effect, but ketoacidosis is observed rarely. We present a girl who developed diabetic

OBJECTIVE To investigate the associations between cytokines and insulin sensitivity in Swedish residents born in Iraq and Swedish residents born in Sweden. METHODS Cross-sectional study. METHODS Iraqi and Swedish origin residents of Rosengård area of Malmö, aged 45-65 years, were randomly selected
