Controlled Release of Insulin and Modified Insulin from a Novel Injectable Biodegradable Gel
… form of <br />insulin, which can provide basal concentrations of insulin in diabetic rats for 1 to 2 weeks after a single subcutaneous injection. <br />A biodegradable injectable drug delivery gel was prepared by dissolving a <br />biodegradable polymer, polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), in …

Evaluation of Weaning Stress in Beef Calves
… of handheld glucometers in quantifying bovine blood glucose concentration. Precision Xtra® and ReliOn® glucometers were used chute side to quantify blood glucose concentrations in cattle and were compared to an accepted plasma glucose analysis on the same samples for validation. The Precision …

The Effects of Acute Consumption and Chronic Supplementation of Cocoa on Overweight and Obese Adults at Risk of Developing Diabetes
… in cocoa powder have been shown to reduce blood glucose concentrations, improve insulin sensitivity, and decrease gut permeability in animals and humans, but it is unknown if this occurs in adults with prediabetes. Therefore, we first hypothesized that an acute dose of cocoa would reduce …

Effects of heat-stress-induced physiological changes on the productivity of dairy cattle
… to examine the relationship between summer HS, blood glucose concentrations, and milk production in primiparous (n=26) and multiparous (n=27) Holstein cows. Glucose was measured in coccygeal vein blood twice weekly using a hand-held glucometer (Abbott Precision Xtra) from May through July. …

Evaluation of continuous glucose monitoring systems
… in the research and development of continuous glucose monitoring technologies, driven by the enormous and rapidly expanding glucose monitoring market and the large and growing base of diabetes patients. Continuous glucose monitoring has shown significant benefits over traditional intermittent …

Insights Into The Therapeutic Potential of Salt Inducible Kinase 1: A Novel Mechanism of Metabolic Control
… muscle SIK1 regulates insulin sensitivity and blood glucose concentrations through mechanism(s) independent of the canonical insulin pathway. Our research addresses many previously unanswered questions about SIK1 action in metabolism and positions SIK1 as a potential therapeutic target for the …

Effects of Early Spring Growth Annual Ryegrass Pasture Consumption on Parameters Associated with Laminitis in Horses
… samples were analyzed for nutrient content. Blood samples were collected at 6 am, 8 am, 6 pm, and 8 pm on the final day of hay consumption and on the 4th, 9th and 28th days of grass consumption. Samples were subsequently analyzed to determine the effects of diet type on circulating blood …

Serial measurements of circulating glucose and luteinizing hormone concentrations in lactating dairy cattle
… in the laboratory and 2) validate interstitial glucose sensors designed for humans for use in lactating dairy cattle. The first experiment required validation of a bovine LH ELISA in order to measure the circulating concentration of LH in the blood of cows in altered thermal and/or metabolic …

Fuel kinetics during intense running and cycling when fed carbohydrate
… subjects drank 250 ml of a 15 g.100 ml⁻¹ w.v⁻¹ glucose solution with U-¹⁴C glucose added as tracer and, thereafter, 150 ml of the same solution every 15 min. Despite identical metabolic rates (VO₂ 3.51 ±0.06 vs. 3.51 ±0.10 l.min⁻¹; values are mean± SEM for the cycling and running trials, …

Injectable supramolecular hydrogels for insulin delivery
… of the hormone insulin to maintain appropriate blood glucose concentrations, and current methods involve frequent insulin injections. The key goals for insulin therapy include prolonging release to reduce frequency of injections as well as glucose-responsive release to account for meal-time …

Effect of nicotine and alcohol exposure in utero on vascular intima medial thickness, endothelial function, and the development of cardiometabolic risk factors in children in a low-income setting.
… subscapular and triceps skinfold thickness, blood pressure, lipid profiles and non-fasting blood glucose concentrations were measured. Mothers were interviewed to obtain data regarding maternal smoking and alcohol use, health status, and demographic characteristics. In phase II, subclinical …

Diabetes Mellitus Glucose Prediction by Linear and Bayesian Ensemble Modeling
… Mellitus is a chronic disease of impaired blood glucose control due to degraded or absent bodily-specific insulin production, or utilization. To the affected, this in many cases implies relying on insulin injections and blood glucose measurements, in order to keep the blood glucose level …

Differential appetite regulation in lines of chickens selected for high and low juvenile body weight: the role of beta-MSH
… with decreased water intake. While whole blood glucose concentrations and ingestive and non-ingestive behaviors (sit, stand, preen, perch, deep rest, jumps, escape attempts, feed pecks, defecations, and total distance traveled) were not affected in either line, beta-MSH increased …

Thylakoid membranes from green plants affect appetite and promote body weight loss
… supplementation, resulting in prolonged glucose and insulin responses. In the long run, fasting blood-glucose concentrations are also decreased. Thylakoids stimulate the release of the satiety promoting hormones cholecystokinin (CCK) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), while decreasing …

Hypothalamic Nutrient Sensing
… exist in regions of the brain where the blood brain barrier is fenestrated, such as the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. Glucose and leucine are nutrients known to be sensed by neurons in this brain region, but the mechanisms by which they are sensed, and cells that sense them require …

Chickens from lines artificially selected for juvenile low and high body weight differ in glucose homeostasis and pancreas physiology
… are considered hyperglycemic, displaying fasting blood glucose concentrations twice that of a normal human. While circulating levels of insulin are similar in avians and mammals, and structure and function of the insulin receptor are also conserved among vertebrate species, birds do not experience …

The Utility of Culture Independent Methods to Evaluate the Fecal Microbiome in Overweight Horses Fed Orchard Grass Hay
… of grass hay NSC on serum insulin and plasma glucose concentrations. Serum insulin concentrations was higher in geldings fed the 18% NSC hay; however, this difference was only detected on day 7 and none of the geldings developed hyperinsulinemia. Blood glucose concentrations did not differ …

Chemical strategies for improving anti-diabetic glucagon therapy
… critical functions in the human metabolism, viz. glucose homeostasis. It achieves homeostasis by producing hormones including insulin and glucagon which act on different cell types to affect blood glucose concentrations. Under certain conditions, the concentration of blood glucose falls below …
