In this study, the effect of dietary antioxidants, such as astaxanthin and Flavangenol®, and a combination of both, in counteracting oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetes was investigated. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were divided ...
There is a tendency for the incidence of diabetes in a population to increase with an improvement in living standards. This would imply the involvement of nutritional factors in the development of diabetes, and so nutritional considerations could be a key ...
Type II diabetes is a metabolic disease mediated through multiple molecular pathways. Here, we report anti-diabetic effect of a standardized isolate from a fossil material - a mineraloid leonardite - in in vitro tests and in genetically diabetic mice. The ...
While tissue dysfunction is a well-recognized consequence of diabetes mellitus in aged people, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Daily (VCE) supplementation of vitamins C and E can be beneficial to diabetic aged animals in reducing free ...
Pyridoxamine supplementation caused the alteration of the expression of genes encoding six gluconeogenesis-related proteins. The expression levels of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, pyruvate kinase, and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 in the ...
The aim of this study was to determine the thiamine status in patients undergoing major lower limb amputation due to diabetic foot lesion. Ten patients with diabetic foot lesion, ten diabetic patients without foot lesion, and ten non-diabetic patients ...
The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on circulating levels of magnesium and selenium in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A total of 126 adult Saudi patients (55 men and 71 women, mean age 53.6 ± 10.7 ...
This study was designed to assess oxidative damage and cell apoptosis in the uterus of rats with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes. The role of vitamin E (VE) and/or folic acid (FA) in the protection from such damage was also evaluated. The treatments ...
Background: The prevalence of diabetes is growing worldwide. The primary symptom of diabetes mellitus is elevated blood sugar. This is usually treated with lifestyle intervention and drugs according to an algorithm based on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ...
Abstract. Introduction: There is sparse evidence of the effect of vitamin D on bone biomarkers in diabetic patients, and therefore, in a randomized clinical trial, we evaluated the effects of the daily intake of vitamin D, either with or without extra ...
Abstract.Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of maternal consumption of flaxseed flour and oil on serum concentrations of glucose, insulin, and thyroid hormones of the adult female offspring of diabetic rats. Methods: Wistar rats were ...
Abstract. Diabetes mellitus, a multifactorial disorder, is related to the intestinal microbiota via numerous molecular mechanisms. The vast increase in the prevalence of diabetes and its associated complications ...
Abstract. As a follow-up to an earlier study demonstrating healthier cardiometabolic profiles among long-term multiple dietary supplement (LTMDS) users, we examined if cardiometabolic health benefits associated with LTMDS use persisted with aging. The ...
Hintergrund: Die hydrostatische Blutdruckmessung der Großzehenarterien wurde bisher mit der 8-MHz- Dopplersonde zum Nachweis arterieller Pulsationen durchgeführt. Alternativ könnte die Impedanz-Sphygmografie (ISG) in Betracht kommen. Fragestellungen: Ist ...
Hintergrund: Das diabetische Fußsyndrom (DFS) ist eine häufige diabetes-assoziierte Folgekomplikation mit oft vitaler Gefährdung der Extremität und hoher Mortalität. Makroangiopathie, diabetische Polyneuropathie und Infektionen tragen zur Entstehung bei. ...
Arterielle Rekonstruktionen auf Fußniveau sind immer noch umstritten. Wir analysierten die Ergebnisse von 119 pedalen Bypass-Operationen, die zwischen 1992 bis 1998 an 114 Patienten (77 Diabetikern (D) und 37 Nichtdiabetikern (ND) in unserer Klinik ...
In der Chirurgie wird traditionell unterstellt, dass der diabetische Patient ideale Wirtsbedingungen für die bakterielle Adhäsion, Keimvermehrung und letztendlich Infektion mitbringt. Obwohl Mikroorganismen eine conditio sine qua non für die ...
Hintergrund: Der Zehenblutdruck ist ein wertvoller und häufig benützter Parameter zur Messung der Ischämie bei Patienten mit Diabetes; es ist wenig zur Standardisierung bekannt. Das Ziel dieser Studie ist die Beeinflussung der Manschettenbreite auf den ...
Increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus is frequently associated with complex tibioperoneal obstructive disease and a high rate of amputations. Endovascular therapy of arteries below the knee has emerged as a promising revascularization technique for ...
A 64-year old diabetic male presenting with critical limb ischemia was treated with percutaneous angioplasty for occlusion of the infragenicular popliteal artery and crural vessels. Directional atherectomy was uncommonly used in the false lumen created by ...
