Your body's designed to keep the level of glucose in your blood constant. Special cells in your pancreas called beta cells monitor your blood sugar level every few seconds. When your blood glucose rises after you eat, the beta cells release insulin into your bloodstream. Insulin acts like a ...
These results are explained by an alternative model of glucose transport in which insulin-independent tissues such as brain have a relatively fixed glucose uptake, while other tissues have glucose transport systems which take up glucose at a rate proportional to its plasma concentration. We conclude ...
2.1State and level of blood glucose Blood glucose (BG) concentration, or its average across a population or time period or both, is the most common metric reported. Assumptions around appropriate concentrations and how they should be achieved underpin much of theglycaemiccontrol research and clinical...
Compared to saline infusion, glucose infusion increased the blood glucose level (b) (t-test P < 0.0001; d.f. = 26, t statistics = −5.193; n = 7 and 21 responses from 6 and 6 animals to saline and glucose, respectively), reduced HON activity responses (c) (t...
Results Characteristics of patients A total of 4987 patients were identified (average age, 56.2 ± 11.5 years; 51.9% males). The SMBG group (+/+) was younger, had more males, had a higher education level, had more patients with a family history of diabetes, had better knowledge reg...
The remaining participants were not treated because they did not meet any of these criteria and they were not informed of their glucose tolerance test results. Height, weight, and blood pressure were measured using standard procedures. Demographic and lifestyle characteristics were collected via ...
Fasting blood samples were collected from the enrolled patients within 24 h after admission. Fasting plasma glucose and triglyceride concentrations were measured using standard biochemical techniques in the core laboratory at Fuwai Hospital. The TyG index was calculated as follows: ln (triglycerides [mg...

This article presents a novel design of portable planar microwave sensor for fast, accurate, and non-invasive monitoring of the blood glucose level as an effective technique for diabetes control and prevention. The proposed sensor design incorporates four cells of hexagonal-shaped complementary split ri...
It was therefore necessary to verify the expression of glucokinase at the single cell level in a pure alpha cell preparation. With our sorting protocol we obtained functional rat alpha cells with a high purity (96.6 ± 1.4%)16. To test which hexokinase isoforms are expressed in rat ...
