A high specific gravity can indicate several things. It may suggest dehydration, as when the body is dehydrated, the kidneys reabsorb more water, concentrating the urine and increasing its specific gravity. Ano
If you’re at high risk for gestational diabetes (sometimes initially suspected after a high glucose level is detected in your urine during a previous prenatal visit), your healthcare provider may also consider certain aspects of your medical history. The provider may take into account your pre-...
Lastly, the Nrf2 activator, oltipraz, lowered blood glucose in wild-type, but not Nrf2-null mice, administered STZ. Collectively, these data indicate that the absence of Nrf2 worsens hyperglycemia in Type I diabetic mice and that Nrf2 may represent a therapeutic target for reducing ...
This invention gives an indication of blood glucose by measuring the glucose content in sweat. Other bodily fluids such as saliva, urine, or tears could also be used. The measuring system in our unit includes the substrate which may have printed wiring thereon; a plurality of oxygen sensors ...
Crucial steps in the miniaturisation of biosensors are the conversion of a biological signal into an electrical current as well as the direct sampling of bodily fluids. Here we show that protein sensors in combination with a nanopore, acting as an electrical transducer, can accurately quantify metab...
Cell lysates may be assayed undiluted or diluted as necessary in 1X Assay Buffer. • Serum, plasma or urine: To remove insoluble particles, centrifuge at 10,000 rpm for 5 min. The supernatant may be assayed directly or diluted as necessary in 1X Assay Buffer....
The quantification of uric acid was conducted through a timed endpoint methodology. Hemoglobin was measured using a single-beam photometer, while glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) measurements were performed on the A1c G7 HPLC Glycohemoglobin Analyzer. Moreover, urine iodine concentration (UIC) was measured ...
The glucose sensor exhibited a negligible response to interference and good stability. In addition, the glucose levels in human urine were tested in order to conduct a practical assessment of the proposed sensor, and the results indicate that the sensor had superior urine glucose recognition. These...
(FAs) through fatty acid transporters. Arrows indicate flow of substrates, signaling. AKT, protein kinase B; AMPK, 5′ AMP-activated protein kinase; DHA, dehydroascorbic acid; E, endosomal vesicles; ER, endoplasmic reticulum; FAT, fatty acid transporters; GSK3, glycogen synthase kinase 3; GSV,...
Another glucose measuring method involves urine analysis, which, aside from being inconvenient, may not reflect the current status of the patient's blood glucose because glucose appears in the urine only after a significant period of elevated levels of blood glucose. An additional inconvenience of ...
