CLASS IV: THIAZOLIDINEDIONES Type 2 diabetes is mainly associated with abnormalities in any of the following 3 basic pathophysiologic abnormalities: • Impaired insulin secretion • Excessive hepatic glucose production • Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, liver and adipose tissue.9 The thiazolidinediones are a unique class of agents that improve the third parameter, and are therefore also called as the “Insulin sensitizers”. Insulin resistance syndrome also called as Syndrome X is caused by a

Abstract Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic disease commonly associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and inflammation-all features of insulin resistant syndrome. However, very limited data are available regarding the association of subclinical inflammation and insulin resistance with NAFLD in a prediabetic state. We, therefore, conducted the study to assess this relationship among this population. Methods: We studied a cross-sectional analytical design of 140 [male/female

Long-term complications There are many long-term consequences of PCOS. If PCOS is not properly treated there is a bigger chance of having long-term consequences. One of these consequences is type II diabetes. Women with PCOS frequently have hyperinsulinism and insulin resistance. Women who have irregular ovulation tend to have more insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a precursor to diabetes, so PCOS patients are more at risk of developing diabetes. It is also shown that women with PCOS are

to an array of employer provided resources should warrant excellent health outcomes. But surprisingly, studies from different countries have pointed out several health issues in IT workers like ocular discomforts, musculo- skeletal problems, and metabolic syndrome. These health issues have been attributed to their sedentary lifestyle, occupational stress and prolonged use of computer (Shrivastava & Bobhate, 2012). More recently, mental health issues like anxiety, depression which largely go undiagnosed

Damaging the Food Culture with High Fructose Corn Syrup The food culture that we have are practices, beliefs, and ways we use to make food and consume it. Furthermore it is how we understand it as a whole and how it can shape us. Certain foods all around us can change people individually or as a group, the ability to express ourselves with food is endless.Some people may love the food for flavor , some may love to take pictures of the food and some people may just eat it because of their religion

Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC 8724 was cultured aerobically in a 250 mL flask covered by cotton with 100 mL of seed medium at 37 °C. After 8–12 h cultivation, the biomass of seed culture was harvested when cell growth achieved 1.2 to 1.5 OD600 by centrifugation at 4 °C, 8,000 rpm for 25 min. Then, the cell debris was mixed with 50 mL sterilized 2.5% (w/v) sodium alginate solution. The spherical immobilized cells were formed by adding the mixture to 4% CaCl2 (w/v) solution. The granules of immobilized

Metabolic sacidosis occurs when the chemical sbalance of acids and sbases in a patient’s blood gets sthrown off. This can happen when a spatient’s body is making too much sacid, isn't getting rid of senough acid, or doesn't have senough base to offset a normal samount of acid. Metabolic sacidosis is defined as shaving an arterial blood pH less than s7.35 with plasma bicarbonate sless than 22 mmol/L. The patient in sthis case had a blood pH of 7.34 with sa plasma bicarbonate slevel of 14 mmol/L. Additionally

Diseases such as obesity, dyslipidemia, high blood pressure, and high blood glucose levels are a real concern for individuals. According to Prasanna Kumar (2011), the previously listed ailments are a cluster of individual illnesses that make up Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). Therefore, MetS is not accepted as a disease, rather a syndrome with numerous risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) or diabetes. Lawrence & Lawrence (2013) state, in order to diagnose MetS, an individual must

Resting metabolic rate (RMR) as main part of daily energy expenditure (14) has principal role in energy balance. Indeed, resting metabolic rate can effect on adiposity or weight gain(14, 15). Our results demonstrated that RMR/kg had reverse significant correlation with weight, BMI and visceral fat. Some pathogenetic explanation for lower energy expenditure in obese subjects with metabolic syndrome may be the lipotoxic theory, lower levels of uncoupling proteins in mitochondria and genetic polymorphism

Type 2 diabetes has been around for quite some time, and it’s gotten to the point where so many people are becoming aware of this disease something must be done. “Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by chronic hyperglycemia due to relative insulin deficiency or resistance or both” (Chimkode, Kumaran, Kanhere, & Shivanna, 2015). This disease is not genetic and with the proper protocols taken, it can be somewhat reversed if caught early. “The growing epidemic of lifestyle-related
