The role of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase in glucose and ketone body metabolism
… long term fasting, succumbing to hypoglycemia, ketoacidosis, and hypothermia. Stable isotope flux analysis indicated that hypoglycemia was due to a reduced rate of gluconeogenesis. We hypothesized that hyperglycemia would be prevented in DKO mice fed a high saturated fat diet for 30 weeks. As …

DEVELOPMENT OF PREDICTIVE MODELS FOR DIABETICS IN ROUTINE LIFE AND EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
… to a short term complication, called, Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). The first part of the thesis will focus on the two different classes of personalized models developed for prediction of BG dynamics in T1Ds for exercise, meal and insulin interventions. The second part deals with the …

Toxicity and biotransformation of 1,1,1,3,3-Pentafluoropropane, 3,3,3-Trifluoropropionic acid and 1,1,1,3-Tetrachloropropane
… been responsible for life-threatening possible ketoacidosis. In general, ketoacidosis occurs after an imbalance between glycolysis, lipolysis, TCA cycle activity and respiratory function. Based on the results, ß-oxidation of fatty acids was not affected, and due to the decrease in glucose levels …
