hypoglycemia/zea mays

This study investigated if calcineurin/nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) axis mediates the cardiac apoptosis in rats with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM)-induced rats or administered chronically high-fat diet rich in corn oil (CO-HFD). Also, it investigated the impact of chronic

Aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors have a considerable therapeutic potential against diabetes complications and do not increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Through bioassay-guided fractionation of an EtOH extract of the kernel from purple corn (Zea mays L.), 7 nonanthocyanin phenolic compounds (compound

BACKGROUND The greater prevalence of obesity and the metabolic syndrome in the past 35 y has been attributed to the replacement of sucrose in the food supply with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). OBJECTIVE Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of solutions containing sucrose, HFCS,

Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given a single, usually lethal, dose of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, 125 micrograms/kg ip in corn oil), or vehicle alone. Twenty-four hours after ip administration of TCDD the animals received an ip injection of 14C-labeled glucose, and the time course and

Many insects display non-homeostatic regulation over blood sugar level. The concentration of trehalose varies dramatically depending on physiological and nutritional state. In the absence of dietary carbohydrate, blood trehalose in larvae of the lepidopteran insect Manduca sexta is maintained by

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) induce ketosis in several mammalian species including man. To clarify the regulation of this metabolic alteration, we fed rats either MCT or long-chain triglyceride (corn oil) and then attempted to correlate ketosis with changes in (i) concentrations of selected

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of ingesting solutions containing mixtures of carbohydrate (CHO) types on pre-exercise glycemic response, exercise-induced hypoglycemia, metabolic responses, and 10-km treadmill running performance in a warm environment. METHODS Ten

METHODS 66 horses were potentially exposed to phosphine (a gas) 14 hours after being fed a pelleted ration treated with aluminum phosphide. RESULTS 28 horses had clinical signs of profuse sweating, tachycardia, tachypnea, pyrexia, ataxia, seizures, and widespread muscle tremors. Clinically relevant

The effects of carbohydrate-deficient diets on the growth of the Walker carcinosarcoma 256 in rats and on the carcinostatic action of the glucose analogue 2-deoxyglucose were studied. All diets contained 13.0% casein with glucose levels as indicated and the balance of calories present as corn oil

Male rats of proven fertility were fed the following diets for 28 d either with or without 0.075% 5-thioglucose (5-THG): AIN-76 diet (A76): a diet with 13% casein, 2% glucose and the balance of the calories as free corn oil fatty acids from corn oil (2G); and a similar diet, isocaloric with 2G, with

METHODS A 5-year-old male guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) was examined because of lethargy, weight loss, and episodic neurologic signs, including paddling in lateral recumbency, head tilt, and circling. Prior to initial examination, the animal was treated with corn syrup whenever it appeared lethargic,

Ibervillea sonorae's root, or "wareque" (Cucurbitaceae), is widely used in Mexican traditional medicine for the control of diabetes mellitus. In the present study, the hypoglycemic effects produced by the acute and chronic administration of various extracts of Ibervillea sonorae were investigated.

To determine the effect of elevations of plasma lipids on growth hormone secretion in humans, paired insulin hypoglycemia tests and paired arginine infusion tests were performed on eight and six normal female volunteers respectively. On 1 of the 2 test days for each growth hormone stimulus, subjects
