Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-hyperglycemic properties of Tridax procumbens in lowering cardio-metabolic risk factors 

Desai, Gauri (2014-10-06)
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 ...

A Novel Role for Fetuin-A in the Pathophysiology of Glucocorticoid-Mediated Insulin Resistance 

Huang, Edmond (2008-05-15)
Fetuin-A (also called alpha2-HS glycoprotein), a phosphorylated protein secreted by the liver, is a physiological inhibitor of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (IR-TK). Elevated plasma levels of fetuin-A have been ...

Role of phosphorylated fetuin-A in insulin action, insulin resistance, obesity, and moderate weight loss 

Ren, Guang (2014-04-23)
Fetuin-A (Fet-A), secreted by the liver into circulation, inhibits insulin-stimulated insulin receptor tyrosine kinase and is positively associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and incident diabetes. Though Fet-A ...

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 ...
