Biochemical and Molecular Mechanisms of Glucose Uptake Stimulated by Physical Exercise in Insulin Resistance State: Role of Inflammation

Arq. bras. cardiol; 113 (6), 2019
Abstract Obesity associated with systemic inflammation induces insulin resistance (IR), with consequent chronic hyperglycemia. A series of reactions are involved in this process, including increased release of proinflammatory cytokines, and activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), nuclear factor-kapp...

The evaluation with endoscopy and 24 h pH esophageal monitoring is expensive and not always available in all medical centers, especially in developing countries so more cost-effective...

Prognóstico de pacientes neurológicos e neurocirúrgicos submetidos a prevençäo de hiperglicemia
Prognosis of neurological and neurosurgical patients submitted of hyperglycemia

Com o objetivo de definir se existe correlaçäo entre o controle rigoroso da hiperglicemia e o prognóstico neurológico em pacientes com injúria cerebral aguda, estudamos prospectivamente 60 pacientes neurológicos, neurocirúrgicos e neurotraumáticos internados na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva do Hos...
