Sand rats (Psammomys obesus) maintained on a diet providing a free choice between laboratory chow and salt bush (Atriplex halimus) were classified into four groups differing in extent of the diabetic syndrome: A, normoglycemic-normoinsulinemic; B, normoglycemic-hyperinsulinemic; C,
Atriplex suberecta I. Verd is a known phytomedicinal species of Atriplex; however, studies into its bioactivity remain inconclusive. The in vitro and in vivo antioxidative and hepatoprotective potential of A. suberecta ethanol-extract (ASEE) was assessed in the present study.
The study was initiated to evaluate the ability of hyperinsulinemia (as a surrogate measure of insulin resistance) to predict the development in a previously healthy population of three putative outcomes of this abnormality--glucose intolerance, hypertension, and coronary heart disease (CHD). The
