Tridax procumbens L. has traditionally been used in India and Africa for the management of diabetes and inflammation. Phytochemical characterization has revealed presence of carotenoids, saponins, tannins, phenolics and ...

The Apparent Increase in Insulin Sensitivity of Leptin-Treated Rats Appears to be Due to a Decrease in Blood Glucose Concentrations in Response to Fasting 

Gragg, Maryanne (2007-12-15)
To distinguish between the effects of insulin stimulation and fasting on blood glucose homeostasis in leptin-treated animals, streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic (STZ-D) and non-diabetic rats given chronic intracerebroventricular ...

Assessment of the Gluconeogenic Capabilities of Leptin-treated Diabetic Rats by Feeding Albumin and Fructose Diets 

Patten, Jason (2007-12-15)
The role of leptin in glucose homeostasis is not clearly defined. Chronic intracerebroventricular (ICV) leptin treatment in diabetic rats leads to a normalization of blood glucose. Additionally, short-term fasting of the ...

Blood Glucose Concentrations Are Not Increased by Chronic IP Glucagon Administration in Leptin-Treated Type 1 Diabetic Rats 

Qi, Yijing (2016-05-05)
The overall objective of this research is to increase our understanding of how central leptin administration normalizes blood glucose concentrations independent of insulin in type 1 diabetic rats. This research may lead ...

Background: Approximately one-third of college students (33.7%) are overweight or obese. Additionally, three-fourths of American Americans are overweight or obese with higher risks of obesity-related diseases. Objective: ...

Studies on Extraction of Fucoxanthin and Its Potential Anti‐obesity Effect 

Wang, Shuhui (2014-11-24)
Fucoxanthin is an epoxy carotenoid with important beneficial bioactivities. In this study, a type of microalgae (diatom) Thalassiosira weissflogii was used as the feedstock for fucoxanthin extraction. Effects of solvent ...
