High fat and highly thermolyzed fat diets promote insulin resistance and increase DNA damage in rats.

30 Oct 2009 Many studies have demonstrated that DNA damage may be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its complications. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of the potential relationship between fat (thermolyzed) intake, glucose ... Read more...

Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isoenzyme 4 (PDHK4) deficiency attenuates the long-term negative effects of a high-saturated fat diet.

23 Sep 2009 The hypothesis that PDHK4 (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isoenzyme 4) has potential as a target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes was tested by feeding wild-type and PDHK4 knockout mice a high saturated fat diet that induces hyperglycemia, ... Read more...

Diagnostic value of gallbladder emptying variables in chronic acalculous cholecystitis as assessed by fatty meal cholescintigraphy.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: The main purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of gallbladder emptying variables in chronic acalculous cholecystitis (CAC). The variables investigated were latent period, gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) and ... Read more...
