The effects of sevoflurane and propofol on glucose metabolism under aerobic conditions in fed rats.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Recent studies reported that intraoperative hyperglycemia is an independent risk factor for mortality and morbidity related to surgery. Volatile anesthetics, such as sevoflurane, impair glucose use, suggesting their possible ... Read more...

Investigation of functionally liver selective glucokinase activators for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

6 Oct 2009 Type 2 diabetes is a polygenic disease which afflicts nearly 200 million people worldwide and is expected to increase to near epidemic levels over the next 10-15 years. Glucokinase (GK) activators are currently under investigation by a number of ... Read more...

Metformin: diamonds are forever.

29 Sep 2009 Metformin has now been established as the drug of choice for the first-line management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It reduces insulin resistance, improves glycaemic control, and can be safely combined with other classes of oral hypoglycaemic ... Read more...
