The Effect of Osmotic Stimulation of Copeptin on Glucose Metabolism in Healthy Adults
<p>Diabetes is currently affecting 30 million Americans. To combat disease onset, lifestyle interventions have been focused on. Low water intake, alongside elevated concentrations of circulating copeptin, has been linked to increased risk for. However, it is unknown whether this effect on glucose …

The Effect of Dehydration on Metabolism and Energy Substrate Utilization
… purpose of this study was to measure hormonal and metabolic markers in humans to see if simulating dehydration would emulate measures that are seen in prediabetic humans. 60 volunteers were divided into equal categories by sex and body mass index of normal or overweight. Participants completed …

An Extensible Mathematical Model of Glucose Metabolism
<p>The American Diabetes Association reports that diabetes is the fifth leading cause of death by disease in the United States. An estimated 23.6 million individuals, or seven percent of the population, have diabetes. Nearly one-third are unaware that they have the disease. The total of the direct …

Access and Barriers to Care During Transition from Active Duty to Veteran Status in Veterans with Diabetes: A Look at Health Literacy, Change, and Ongoing Diabetes Self-Management Education
<p>Background and Rationale: Transition from active duty to veteran status may be a challenging time, especially for veterans with diabetes. These veterans face multiple changes that can cause distress. Most veterans with diabetes have type 2 diabetes, however a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes on …

Maternal HPA Axis Function During Parenting is Associated with Reduced Brain Activation to Infant Cry and More Intrusive Parenting Behavior
… indicated that maternal cortisol function and maternal brain response to infant stimuli are separately related to differences in parenting behavior. Evidence from animal models have demonstrated that chronically high cortisol concentration alters brain structure and function, suggesting …

Characterization of Ocular Surface Pathology and Tear Film Dysfunction Due to Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
<p>Untreated diabetes mellitus leads to development of microvascular and macrovascular complications affecting heart, nerves, kidney, and eyes. While the etiological mechanisms of diabetes-associated retinopathy and cataract have been well characterized, the time kinetics and the severity of …

The Effect of Cellular Dehydration on Glucose Regulation in Lean and Obese Females
… in humans. A recent study in patients with diabetes suggested that low water intake is associated with impaired glucose regulation. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of hypertonic saline infusion on glucose regulation in healthy females. Thirty healthy, non-diabetic females …

The management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus in Western Australians of Southern European origin
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a growing health problem both nationally and internationally. In Australia and Western Australia, prevalence rates have been increasing steadily over the past 20 years which has prompted the Commonwealth Government to implement strategies and recommendations encouraging …

Neuronal Toxicity of Humoral Factors From Patients With Diabetic Neuropathy and Mechanism of Neuronal Death on Cultured Adrenergic Neurons: Studies of Autoimmune Pathogenesis in Diabetic Neuropathy
… medical problem because of the high frequency of diabetes and its complications. Diabetic neuropathy consists of not one, but many patterns of nerve injury, each potentially with its own discrete pathogenic mechanisms. Evidence is accumulating that indicates autoimmunity plays a role in diabetic …

The Relationship of Locus of Control of the Diabetic Patient and Compliance with Medical Regimen
… not adhere to their prescribed medical regimen and that there is a need to discover factors that stimulate compliant behavior. It has been proposed that the patient's decision to accept or reject treatment has many determinants. This study explored the effect of one such determinant, the locus …

The Effect of Electrical Stimulation of the Dorsal Raphe Nucleus on Local Cerebral Glucose Metabolism and Epileptogenesis in the Rat
<p>Anatomic connections between the dorsal raphé and the hippocampus have been described in the literature; however, the understanding of the functional importance of these connections is not complete. In these studies the "functional" raphé-hippocampal pathway was elucidated first by the …

The Role of 5-Alpha Reductase 3 In Steroid Metabolism
<p><strong>Background</strong></p> <p>The growth and development of prostate cancer is largely driven by androgen mediated signaling. The 5-alpha reductase family of enzymes plays an essential role in the conversion of testosterone to the more potent androgen, 5-alpha dihydrotestosterone (DHT), …

The Determinants of Physical Activity, Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose, and Poor Glycemic Control Among Individuals Diagnosed With Type 2 Diabetes in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study Based on the Saudi Health Interview Survey (SHIS)
<p>The prevalence of diabetes and poor glycemic control in Saudi Arabia has increased that contributed to the growing number of deaths in Saudi Arabia. It is known that type 2 diabetes (T2DM) can be prevented but there is a lack information about the magnitude of the of diabetes at national level …

The Effect of Increased Sleep on the Circadian Rhythm of Salivary Cortisol Concentrations
… caffeine consumption, time going to sleep, and time waking up. ELISA kits were used to analyze cortisol concentrations.</p> <p>Salivary cortisol concentrations demonstrated a circadian rhythm, which revealed a significant peak at 0800h, which is consistent with the literature. The study …

Usefulness of an Expanded Health Belief Model With Added Constructs (Self-Efficacy And Ecological System Measures) in Modeling Compliance With Healthy Lifestyle Recommendations in Women With a Recent History of Gestational Diabetes
<p>Problem Statement: Gestational diabetes (GDM) has been reported to affect as many as 18% of all pregnancies in the U.S. This diagnosis is costly and presents health risks to both baby and mother. The main risk to the mother with a history of GDM is her increased risk for diabetes which has been …
