Introdução - Evidências mostram que a ingestão de uma refeição hipercalórica, rica em lipídios e açúcares, provoca elevação da concentração plasmática de glicose e de triacilgliceróis (TG), bem como de lipopolissacarídeos (LPS) no período pós-prandial. Sugere-se que essa condição est...

Subjects and methods This crossover, randomized study enrolled 36 women, of whom 21 had normal weight (bo...
Abstract Introduction: The variability of arterial blood pressure (BP) is considered an important cardiovascular risk factor.

ABSTRACT: In the present work we examined the incretin role of gut glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) in the insulin overresponse to meal ingestion found in states of hypersomatotrophism. In this context, we studied IRI secretion after i.v. infusion of glucose alone (0.6 g/kg/h) and also ...
