OBJECTIVES: Postoperative insulin resistance represents a major component of postoperative metabolic disorder. The authors compared the effects of preoperative infusion of lipid emulsion or carbohydrate to conventional preoperative fasting on postope...
In this study, described an electrochemical immunoassay for insulin that is based on the use of zinc silicate spheres loaded with palladium nanoparticles (ZnSiO-PdNPs) that act as dual-function labels. The ZnSiO-PdNPs display high electrocatalytic ac...
Individuals with type 1 diabetes have to monitor their blood glucose levels, determine the quantity of insulin required to achieve optimal glycaemic control and administer it themselves subcutaneously, multiple times per day. To help with this proces...

BACKGROUND: Effective glucose control in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting has the potential to decrease morbidity and mortality rates and thereby decrease health care expenditures. To evaluate what constitutes effective glucose control, typicall...
Preclinical studies have revealed the beneficial effects of genistein in pancreatic β-cell functions. The results of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in assessing the effects of genistein on glucose metabolism are inconsistent, however. The aim of...
This study examined the effect of two feeding levels during the antepartum and postpartum period on reproductive performance and blood metabolites (glucose, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), insulin) in primiparous Holstein and Swedish Red (SRB) cow...
The aims of this study were: (1) to evaluate the effect of different insulin concentrations, alone or in combination with either a fixed FSH concentration or increasing FSH concentrations on the in vitro culture of isolated caprine preantral follicle...

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disease in reproductive age women. The present study aimed to determine the effects of Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet on reproductive hormones, plasma tota...
This paper presents Fuzzy-PID (FPID) control scheme for a blood glucose control of type 1 diabetic subjects. A new metaheuristic Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) is utilized to optimize the gains of FPID controller. CSA provides fast convergence and is ...
BACKGROUND: To find out whether children with type 1 diabetes accept a humanoid robot as an assistant in their diabetes management. In particular, the study aims to determine how the patients feel the robot may contribute to their care and how they r...
