Thymoquinone, a natural occurring quinone and the main bioactive component of plant Nigella sativa, undergoes intracellular redox cycling re-oxidizes NADH to NAD+. TQ administration (20 mg/kg/bw/day) Diet-Induced Obesity (DIO) mice reduced their diabetic phenotype by decreasing fasting blood glucose insulin levels, improved tolerance sensitivity as evaluated oral tests (OGTT ITT). Furthermore, decreased serum cholesterol levels liver triglycerides, increased protein expression phosphorylated...
Exposure to chemotherapeutic agents has been linked an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), a disease characterized by both the peripheral insulin resistance and impaired glucose-stimulated secretion (GSIS) from pancreatic β-cells. Using rat β-cell line INS-1 832/13 isolated mouse islets, we investigated effect drug doxorubicin (Adriamycin) on survival function. cells caused impairment GSIS, cellular viability, increase in toxicity, as soon 6 h post-exposure. Doxorubicin plasma membrane...
We sought to determine if real-time patient simulation technology, designed mimic a visit, could improve clinicians’ knowledge/competence regarding the management of hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The DecisionSim, was incorporated as part live symposium, and changes competence knowledge were evaluated using pre-/post-assessment questions. A Chi-Square test used analyze percentage correct responses statistical significance (p <0.05 indicated significance)....

Patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD) are at increased risk for atherothrombotic events compared to CAD patients without diabetes. Current antiplatelet therapy may not be adequate in these high-risk patients, several recent clinical trials have evaluated the use of more potent agents this setting. Therefore, it is crucial educate clinicians about their results practical implications. CMHC organized a CME virtual symposium multi-disciplinary assessed changes knowledge...
