Relationship between glycemic control and OPG gene polymorphisms with lower bone mineral density in patients with type 1 Diabetes mellitus

ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to investigate the bone mineral density (BMD) of patients with type 1 Diabetes mellitus (T1DM). We also assessed the association between osteoprotegerin (OPG) genetic polymorphisms and BMD. Genotyping was performed for 1181G>C and 163A>G OPG polymorphisms b...

Índice, carga glicémica y fibra dietética de los alimentos y su asociación con resistencia a la insulina en adultos chilenos
Glycemic index, glycemic load and dietary fiber of foods and its association with insulin resistance in Chilean adults

Arch. latinoam. nutr; 66 (4), 2016
El Índice y Carga Glicémica (IG y CG) categorizan los alimentos según su capacidad de incrementar la glicemia, considerando cantidad y calidad de hidratos de carbono consumidos. Diferentes estudios han postulado que una dieta con IG y CG altos y bajo consumo de fibra incrementan la glicemia e insuline...

Evaluation of the impact of orally administered carbohydrates on postprandial blood glucose levels in different pre-clinical models

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 52 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT We developed a pre-clinical model in which to evaluate the impact of orally administered carbohydrates on postprandial blood glucose levels. For this purpose, we compared the effects of different carbohydrates with well-established glycemic indexes. We orally administered (gavage) increasing amo...

Unsatisfactory glycemic control in type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients: predictive factors and negative clinical outcomes with the use of antidiabetic drugs

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 52 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT Many factors can interfere with glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and this patient group has an increased risk of experiencing drug-related negative outcomes (DNO). The aim of this study was to identify the predictive factors of unsatisfactory glycemic control and DNO i...

Quality of life perception of type 1 diabetic patients treated with insulin analogs and receiving medication review with follow-up in a public health care service from Ponta Grossa-PR, Brazil

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 52 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT Glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) reduces the risk of complications but requires a rigorous health care routine. Thus, diabetes education is central to increasing treatment compliance and self-care practices. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) a...
