BACKGROUND/AIMS: In experimental portal hypertension, blood hemoglobin levels have been shown to influence the hyperdynamic circulatory state. The aim of this study was to assess the hemodynamic effects of increasing hemoglobin concentration in human portal hypertension. METHODS: Sixteen cirrhotic patients...
Low hemoglobin levels (less than 14 gm/100 ml) were found in more than a third of the workers. While BUN and creatinine were mostly in the normal range, there was nevertheless a correlation between ZPP and both BUN and creatinine. Reduced nerve-conduction velocities were present in 25% of...
Serum i-PTH levels increased significantly, from 212 pg/ml to 278 pg/ml, while the doses of rHuEpo and serum levels of corrected calcium, phosphorus, and hemoglobin did not change significantly. CONCLUSIONS: A dialysate calcium concentration of 2.5 meq/l was not shown to have positive effects...

The response variables were body weight; fasting plasma lipid, lipoprotein, glucose, glycated hemoglobin A(1c), and fructosamine concentrations; insulin sensitivity; and glucose disposal. Body weight decreased significantly (1.53 kg; P < 0.001) only with the low-fat diet. Plasma total, LDL-, ...
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were dropped by 2.0%, which is comparable to the effect of metformin. In poorly-controlled diabetic patients with insulin injection, berberine reduced HbA1c by 0.8%. In addition to the hypoglycemic action, plasma triglycerides, total cholesterol and low-density ...
Insulin resistance, as assessed by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) score, decreased by more than twice as much with weight loss in the low–glycemic load vs the low-fat group (P = .01). Serum concentrations of triglyceride levels also decreased more in the low–glycemic load vs the low...
The effect of T3 on CAI levels was more obvious (42 +/- 7%, P < 0.01) in the presence of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), which induces hemoglobin synthesis and differentiation in YN-1 cells. These results suggest that the YN-1 cell line may be used to study T3 ...
Disease severity was assessed through total hemoglobin (Hb) and fetal hemoglobin (HbF), and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, and through the total number and days of hospitalizations, as well as the lifetime episodes of acute chest syndrome (ACS). Twenty nine children (14 males, 15 females...
