The control of the blood sugar level in diabetes has been largely influenced by the impression that, since the so-called normal blood sugar concentration in healthy human beings is between 100 and 140 mg. per hundred cubic centimeters, this is the optimal blood sugar level and should be st...

Diabetes mellitus was more prevalent in patients with the cardiac form of Chagas' disease than in controls, or patients with the megas or the asymptomatic form (15.1%, 7.4%, 7.4%, and 5.6%, respectively); the same was observed for hyperglycemia (37.4%, 26.7%, 25.9%, 27.2%), in ...

Diabetes and Infection Uncontrolled diabetes affects innate and adaptive immune function; T cell and B cell responses are both impaired. Increased susceptibility to infections may precipitate metabolic complications in diabetes; at the same time, hyperglycemia ... A Atreja,S Kalra,J Rodriguez-Saldana ...
fat to use for energy; this causes a build up of toxic acids (ketones) that leads to DK if left untreated. It has the same symptoms as hyperglycemia: fruity breath, sweating, excessive thirst, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. DK can be fatal so it needs to be treating as soon as ...

Declines in lower extremity muscle mass, in particular, can be associated with decreased muscle strength and lead to muscle weakness, poor lower-extremity performance, and mobility loss, all of which have been reported in persons with diabetes, as well (2., 3., 4.). However, the ...
Hyperglycemia is a common feature of diabetes mellitus, considered as a risk factor for cancer. However, its direct effects in cancer cell behavior are relatively unexplored. Herein we show that high glucose concentration induces aberrant glycosylation, increased cell proliferation, invasion and tumor pr...
Because one of the functions of ucOC is to stimulate insulin secretion, it is reasonable to speculate that under hyperglycemic conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, the upregulation of GSIS-related genes and perhaps others would be an attempt by β-cells to generate mechanisms to lower blood ...
