Evaluation of the Effects of Vitamin D Supplementation on Glycemic Control and Lipid Profile in Normoglycemic and STZ-Induced Type-2 Diabetic Rats
Abstract: The term diabetes mellitus describes a metabolic disorder of multiple aetiologies and is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both.

Increase of Glucose in Fasting condition –A review
Abstract: Estimation of blood glucose is very important for normal and diabetic cases. Fasting blood sugar is measurement after overnight fasting, values above 125 mg/dl indicates diabetes while post prandial sugar is sugar after meal, which is done after four hours meals. It has been seen that post prandial sugar levels are always higher compared to fasting but in few cases fasting levels were found elevated when compared to post prandial …

Impact of Amiloride-Hydrochlorthiazide Diuretic Against the Pathway of Uric Acid – VLDL and Peroxynitrite in Essential Hypertension
Abstract: Thiazides induce metabolic derangement in terms of hyperlipidemia, glucose intolerance, hyperuricemia and electrolytes imbalance. Co-amiloride-hydrochlorthiazide therapy favorably corrects the hypokalemia that is induced by thiazides alone. This study was aimed to identify the interactions between serum uric acid, very-low-density-lipoprotein (VLDL) and peroxynitrite in essential hypertensive patients using amiloride-hydrochlorthiazide as antihypertensive therapy. A total number of fifty patients (12 males and 38 females) with a history of hypertension were admitted in …
