124 1286543 HbA1c, serum creatine, blood pressure, and urinary albumin levels were similar in the groups but patients with severe retinopathy were treated with more insulin (p < 0.001).
125 1287423 Therefore, we decided to examine potential changes of urinary albumin excretion (UAE), urinary excretion of alpha-1-microglobulin (A-1-M), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), hANP levels, creatinine clearance and HbA1 in the course of a prospective one-year study in 19 patients (13 females, six males, age 29 +/- 2 years).
126 1289018 In Type 1 diabetes those with CHD had significantly higher levels of systolic blood pressure, albumin excretion, serum creatinine, triglycerides, VLDL cholesterol and C-peptide, and reductions in serum concentrations of HDL and HDL2 cholesterol, in comparison to those without.
127 1289018 Logistic regression analysis revealed the strongest independent predictors of CHD in Type 1 diabetes were serum triglycerides, systolic blood pressure, age, serum LDL cholesterol, and the daily insulin dosage, whereas in the non-diabetic control group HDL2 cholesterol, Lp(a), ApoA1 and ApoB, total serum cholesterol and body mass index were additional predictors.
128 1289022 In RBP-negative patients, the subjects with hypertension (systolic blood pressure > or = 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure > or = 90 mmHg) showed higher beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-MG) excretion and albumin (Alb)/Cr ratios than normotensive ones.

139 1323058 T4-binding globulin (TBG) shares a high degree of homology with two serpin antiproteases, alpha 1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) and alpha 1-antitrypsin (AT), whose synthesis is increased during the acute phase phenomenon, which accompanies trauma, infections, and neoplasms.
140 1323058 When evaluated in human hepatoblastoma-derived (Hep G2) cells exposed to different doses of the recombinant human cytokine for variable time intervals, IL-6 caused a dose- and time-dependent decrease in the secretion of [35S]methionine-labeled TBG, transthyretin (TTR), and albumin.
141 1323058 IL-6 did, however, cause a decrease in the steady state levels of mRNA for TTR, TBG, and albumin and an increase in ACT and AT mRNAs.
142 1323058 In addition, nuclear run-off assay demonstrated a decrease in the transcription of TTR, TBG, and albumin genes and an increased transcription of the ACT gene.
143 1323058 Quantitation of the results showed that changes in the secretion of proteins, in steady state mRNA levels, and in gene transcription were superimposable for each protein, indicating that IL-6 exerts its effect on thyroid hormone-binding proteins mostly at the transcriptional level and that TTR is the thyroid hormone-binding protein showing the most pronounced negative regulation by IL-6.
144 1323058 The opposite effect of IL-6 on TBG and the antiproteases, despite their structural homology, underscores gene divergence among these proteins.

153 1330407 Determinants of intra-individual variation in kidney function in normoalbuminuric insulin-dependent diabetic patients: importance of atrial natriuretic peptide and glycaemic control.
154 1330407 In order to investigate the modulation of kidney function in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, intraindividual variation in glomerular filtration rate, renal plasma flow, urinary albumin excretion rate and mean arterial blood pressure was assessed in 22 normoalbuminuric patients [age 31 +/- 8 years, duration of diabetes 9 +/- 5 years, mean arterial blood pressure 90 +/- 5 mmHg (means +/- SD), urinary albumin excretion rate 5.4 x/divided by 1.6 micrograms/min].
155 1330407 The variation in these parameters was calculated from the results of two clearance studies (continuous infusion of [125I]-iothalamate and 131I-hippuran as markers for glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow, respectively) and was subsequently analysed in relation to individual variation in plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide, arginine vasopressin, angiotensin II and aldosterone and measures of glycaemic control. 2.
156 1330407 Besides variation in atrial natriuretic peptide, multiple regression analysis identified variation in glycated haemoglobin (P = 0.026) and arginine vasopressin (P = 0.057) as variables having independent association with variation in glomerular filtration rate [R2 with the three variables included (adjusted for degrees of freedom) = 0.50, analysis of variance: P = 0.002]. 3.
157 1336356 [Increase of activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme in insulin-dependent diabetic patients with permanent microalbuminuria].
158 1336356 To study if serum ACE can be elevated in subjects with high risk for malignant microangiopathy, 34 normotensive type I, insulin-dependent diabetic subjects with persistent microalbuminuria (30-300 mg/24 h) were compared for serum ACE activity (Liebermann's method) with 30 normotensive, normoalbuminuric type I, insulin-dependent diabetic subjects of same age (33 +/- 15 (M +/- SD) vs 39 +/- 14 years), sex (13 F/21 M vs 15 F/15 M), stage of retinopathy (14 vs 16 nil/11 vs 7 background/6 vs 4 preproliferative/3 vs 3 proliferative), HbA1c (7.7 +/- .9 vs 8.2 +/- 1.0%).
159 1336356 Serum ACE activity was higher in type I, insulin-dependent diabetic subjects with microalbuminuria than in those with normoalbuminuria (406 +/- 114 vs 359 +/- 97 IU/l; p = 0.05), or in controls (307 +/- 95 IU/l; p = 0.0001).
160 1336356 In diabetic subjects, serum ACE activity was not related to diabetes duration (r = 0.1; ns), stage of retinopathy (r = 0.06; ns), HbA1c (r = 0.02; ns), or to blood pressure (r = 0.03; ns), but was related to urinary albumin excretion (r = 0.28; p = 0.03) in diabetic subjects.
161 1340938 A double blind crossover trial was performed on the effect of enalapril on urinary albumin excretion (UAE) in normotensive insulin dependent diabetics.
162 1343281 ET-1 significantly decreased from 5.4 +/- 0.7 pg/mL to 3.5 +/- 0.6 (p = 2.95%), while plasma angiotensin II, atrial natriuretic factor, urinary excretion rate of ET-1, and albumin excretion rate did not change.
163 1348585 Enzymuria is also accompanied by a 10-fold increase in the urinary excretion of the low molecular weight protein beta 2-microglobulin while the excretion of albumin is not significantly modified, indicating impairment of tubular reabsorption in diabetic animals.
164 1350771 To assess whether urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) could be used as a predictor of diabetic nephropathy, renal tubular enzymes such as NAG and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma GTP), albumin, total protein and beta 2-microglobulin (BMG) in urine and/or serum were measured in various stages of diabetic nephropathy.

169 1355149 Addition of ACE inhibition to such a combination treatment may be favorable both due to the suggested renoprotective effects of ACE inhibitors and because diuretics activate the renin-angiotensin system.
170 1355149 In 10 insulin-dependent diabetic patients with early diabetic nephropathy [urinary albumin excretion rate (UAE) less than 100o micrograms/min], who were receiving continuous therapy with metoprolol and bendroflumethiazide, a double-blind crossover study with four months addition of ramipril 5 mg (Ramace) and placebo was conducted.

236 1457761 The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships among insulin resistance and albumin excretion rate in 25 nondiabetic patients with essential hypertension and in 28 patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
237 1457761 Diabetic patients were divided into four subgroups: those with normoalbuminuria without (NIDDM1) and with (NIDDM2) hypertension and those with microalbuminuria without (NIDDM3) and with (NIDDM4) hypertension.
238 1457761 Whole-body glucose utilization in NIDDM patients--NIDDM4 versus NIDDM3 versus NIDDM2 versus NIDDM1 versus controls--was: 1.86 +/- 0.31 versus 2.21 +/- 0.39 versus 2.01 +/- 0.40 versus 5.98 +/- 0.77 versus 5.52 +/- 0.92 mg/kg/min (mean +/- SE).
239 1457766 Beta-blockers, calcium antagonists, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors have proved effective in reducing albumin excretion and postponing overt proteinuria in hypertensive and normotensive insulin-dependent diabetic patients with microalbuminuria.
240 1457766 For insulin-dependent diabetic patients with microalbuminuria, the real aim of antihypertensive treatment is not to reduce urinary albumin excretion or to prevent its progression but to preserve renal function and to reduce the incidence of premature cardiovascular deaths.

243 1462980 Diabetic nephropathy is a serious complication of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) that affects 30% to 40% of IDDM patients with a predictable time of onset.
244 1462980 Hopefully, assessing glomerular hyperfiltration, urinary albumin excretion rate (AER), glycemic control, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and perhaps early morphologic changes will allow early identification of this high-risk group of IDDM patients before overt nephropathy is present.
245 1468140 The inter-relationships between albuminuria, plasma albumin concentration and indices of glycaemic control in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
246 1468140 We studied the relationship between albuminuria (measured as albumin/creatinine ratio (alb/Cr) in a random urine sample) and measures of glycaemic control (fructosamine, HbA1 and glucose) in 470 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).

249 1473091 Acetylator phenotype was determined according to Evans, and 24-hour albumin excretion rate (AER) was measured by immunoturbidometry in 86 children and adolescents with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and in 100 age-matched healthy controls.
250 1473615 Plasma apolipoprotein (a) is increased in type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with microalbuminuria.
251 1473615 Because lipoprotein abnormalities have been associated with diabetic nephropathy, this study tested the hypothesis that levels of apolipoprotein (a) are elevated in patients with Type 2 diabetes and increased levels of urinary albumin loss.
252 1473615 Levels of apolipoprotein (a) in diabetic patients with microalbuminuria (n = 26, geometric mean 195 U/l, 95% confidence interval 117-324) and albuminuria (n = 19, 281 U/l, 165-479) were higher than in non-diabetic control subjects (n = 140, 107 U/l, 85-134, p < 0.05), and in the albuminuric group than diabetic patients without urinary albumin loss (n = 58, 114 U/l, 76-169, p < 0.05).

256 1478369 In Study 1, 27 patients with microalbuminuria (albumin excretion > or = 15 micrograms/min in at least two out of three overnight urine samples) were matched (age, diabetes duration, mean 1-year HbA1c, gender) with normoalbuminuria patients (n = 24), and in Study 2, 23 microalbuminuric patients were randomly allocated to either intensive (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion) or conventional treatment.
257 1488617 In an effort to establish a reliable programme for the clinical monitoring of renal involvement in patients with type-I diabetes mellitus, we quantified the urinary excretion of immunoglobulin G (IgG), transferrin (Tf), albumin (Alb), alpha 1-microglobulin (alpha 1MG), N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), and total protein in 130 dipstick negative children and young adults with type-I diabetes.
258 1488617 Eighty-five sex- and age-matched healthy persons served as a control group for the definition of the upper reference limits (95th centiles; micrograms min-1 1.73 m2): transferrin 1.4; albumin 16.6; total protein 27.1; NAG: 2.0 mU min-1 1.73 m2.

261 1488624 Blood glycated haemoglobin (HbAlc), serum fructosamine (FA), serum glycated albumin (GA), and serum glycated total protein (GTP) were determined in 61 subjects (19 pregnant women with gestational diabetes, 24 pregnant women with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus [IDDM] and 18 nonpregnant subjects with IDDM).
262 1499172 Urinary excretion of glycated albumin in insulin-dependent diabetic patients with micro- and macroalbuminuria.
263 1499172 We therefore investigated the selectivity index (renal clearance of non-glycated/glycated albumin) in 25 insulin-dependent diabetic patients (17 with microalbuminuria and 8 with macroalbuminuria), and 19 healthy subjects.
264 1499172 These results are not consistent with preferential urinary excretion of glycated albumin in insulin-dependent diabetic patients with increased urinary albumin excretion.

271 1504444 In insulin-dependent diabetic (IDDM) patients, hypertension often first appears in the microalbuminuric phase of diabetic nephropathy whereas in non-insulin-dependent diabetic (NIDDM) patients, hypertension often antecedes nephropathy and may precede the diagnosis of diabetes.
272 1504444 Antihypertensive regimens including diuretics, vasodilators such as hydralazine, beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors reduce proteinuria and delay the decline in renal function in IDDM patients with established nephropathy.
273 1504444 In microalbuminuric diabetic patients with hypertension, conventional antihypertensive agents, ACE inhibitors and calcium antagonists have been shown to decrease urinary albumin excretion.
274 1506131 Control animals showed a large 5-HT concentration-dependent increase in leakage of albumin in V3 venules, but this response was inhibited in the Diabetic-Tone animals.
275 1510351 Clinical diagnosis of undernutrition was associated with low anthropometric measurements (p less than 0.05 for all parameters) and a high prevalence of low biochemical values (p less than 0.05 for albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, vitamin A, vitamin B1).
276 1511570 However, no relationships were found between the increased urinary albumin excretion (incipient and/or overt diabetic nephropathy) at follow-up to either the initial glomerular filtration rate (134 vs 137 ml min-1 1.73 m-2; p greater than 0.05) or to renal tubular function assessed from urinary excretion rate of beta 2-microglobulin (0.059 vs 0.069 microgram min-1; p greater than 0.05) and the renal threshold concentration of phosphate per litre of glomerular filtrate (1.29 vs 1.22 mmol l-1; p greater than 0.05).
277 1511662 Urinary albumin excretion rate (AER) was measured in non-diabetic controls (n = 143) and newly diagnosed impaired glucose tolerant (IGT, n = 64) and non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetic patients (n = 146).
278 1513096 Kidney biopsies from 15 type-1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with a range of albumin excretion (AER) were analyzed.
279 1513099 In this study glomerular glucosaminyl N-deacetylase activity and urinary albumin excretion were measured in insulin-treated streptozotocin-diabetic rats.
280 1513104 The objective was to study the natural history and the predictive value of glomerular filtration rate, albumin excretion rate, blood pressure, and hemoglobin A1c for diabetic nephropathy.
281 1513104 Glomerular filtration rate, albumin excretion rate, blood pressure, and hemoglobin A1c were measured every second year during 8 years to determine the predictive value of glomerular filtration rate for future nephropathy.

296 1513106 A cohort of 63 Type 1 insulin-dependent diabetic patients were first characterized for overnight urinary albumin excretion rate (AER) in 1967.
297 1513113 Eight out of 10 patients with mean seven year HbA1 less than 8.5% improved their albumin excretion rate, and patients with mean HbA1 greater than 10% had an increased albumin excretion rate (from 26 mg/24 hr to 91 mg/24 hr, P less than 0.02).
298 1513113 We conclude that mean blood glucose as measured by glycosylated hemoglobin is a main determinant in the progression of urinary albumin excretion in insulin dependent diabetics, and near normoglycemia improves urinary albumin excretion.

306 1541051 We have recently reported that chronic and systemic administration of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) inhibits development of autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice and BB rats, animal models of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
307 1541051 The in vivo TNF productivity in the diabetic rats, including the short-term- and long-term-diabetic rats, was correlated positively with the level of fructosamine/albumin (P less than 0.05) and negatively with the level of serum albumin (P less than 0.05), but not with levels of blood glucose.
308 1541872 The distribution and behavior of the rabbit plasma proteins albumin, fibrinogen, and antithrombin III (ATIII) (isoforms alpha and beta), have been examined in groups of alloxan-induced diabetic rabbits and control rabbits.
309 1541872 The distributions of albumin and the ATIII isoforms between the intravascular, noncirculating vascular, and extravascular compartments in the diabetic rabbit were similar to the respective proteins in the control rabbit, but a smaller proportion of fibrinogen was associated with the vascular compartment of the diabetic rabbit when compared with that in the control rabbit.
310 1541872 We conclude that the increased ratio of fibrinogen to ATIII in the aorta wall of the diabetic rabbit may be characteristic of the prothrombotic state that is conspicuous in insulin-dependent diabetes.

398 1695963 A method for measuring non-enzymatically glycosylated albumin and hemoglobin in a single blood sample is described.
399 1695963 It is advisable that these proteins be assayed separately, because albumin metabolism rate is higher than that of hemoglobin and therefore glycosylated hemoglobin may be regarded as a criterion for diagnosing diabetes mellitus and the level of glycosylated albumin as an indicator of diabetes mellitus compensation and a characteristic that permits monitoring the course of treatment.

726 1977540 In NIDDM subjects the excretions of TP, Alb, NAG, AAP, GGT (expressed in relation to creatinine) were significantly higher and were abnormal in 59.9%, 68.8%, 47.2%, 41.4% and 13.4% of the subjects, respectively.
727 1977540 However, 24.5%, 22.4% and 6.1% of NIDDM subjects with normal Alb/Cr ratio had abnormal excretion of NAG, AAP and GGT, respectively.
728 1981784 The excretion of small quantities of urinary albumin (microalbuminuria = urinary albumin excretion rate, UAER = 20-200 micrograms/min) may predict renal function in both insulin-dependent and noninsulin-dependent diabetes.
729 1982820 Determinations performed: Plasma (P) (BTG, T. protein, albumin, platelet count, Hcto and Fibrinogen) and Effluent (EF) (BTG, T. protein, Fibrinopeptide A, FDP, Fibrinolytic act., Fibrinogen, Plasminogen and Mitogenic induced capacity on Swiss 3T3 mice fibroblasts).
730 1985103 Pharmacological activation of protein kinase C with the phorbol ester TPA in the presence of 5 mM glucose increases microvascular albumin clearance and blood flow, and similar effects are observed with 1-monoolein (MOG), a pharmacological inhibitor of the catabolism of endogenous DAG.
731 1985103 A pharmacological inhibitor of protein kinase C (staurosporine) greatly attenuates the rise in microvascular albumin clearance (but not the rise in blood flow) induced by glucose or by MOG.
732 1985103 These findings are compatible with the hypothesis that elevated concentrations of glucose increase tissue DAG content via de novo synthesis, resulting in protein kinase C activation, and that these biochemical events are among the factors that generate the increased microvascular albumin clearance.

746 2036942 Plasma levels of retinol binding protein (RBP), prealbumin, total protein, albumin, transferrin and ferritin were estimated in three groups of diabetic patients seen at a diabetes centre in S.
747 2036942 The groups consisted of patients with fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes (FCPD), non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
748 2036942 Prealbumin levels were normal in FCPD patients, but low in IDDM compared to controls (P less than 0.005) and NIDDM (P less than 0.05).
749 2040393 The hypothesis of genetic defects in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) regulation among patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and nephropathy was assessed by studies in tissue cultures of fibroblasts obtained from 7 patients with normal urinary albumin excretion, 11 patients with diabetic nephropathy, and 6 nondiabetic control subjects.
750 2040396 Increased plasma apolipoprotein(a) levels in IDDM patients with microalbuminuria.
751 2040396 Patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) have a significantly increased risk of macrovascular disease, particularly if they have persistent proteinuria.
752 2040396 To determine whether altered levels of apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)], the plasminogenlike glycoprotein of the potentially atherogenic lipoprotein(a); contribute to the increased risk of atherosclerosis, apo(a) levels were measured in 107 patients with IDDM and compared with nondiabetic control subjects and male elective coronary artery graft patients.
753 2040396 The elevated apo(a) levels found in patients with IDDM and increased urinary albumin loss may contribute to their heightened risk of macrovascular disease.
754 2043226 In insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, an excess frequency of raised blood pressure occurs in association with increased urinary albumin excretion.

759 2044331 The distribution of drugs with little or no binding in the blood is generally not altered, although the volume of distribution of phenazone (antipyrine) is reduced by 20% in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
760 2044983 Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent analysis (ELISA), we established mean values and 95% confidence intervals for six proteins of physiologic human vitreous: albumin (293 +/- 18 mg/l), transferrin (73.7 +/- 6.6 mg/l), immunoglobulin G (IgG), (33.5 +/- 3 mg/l), alpha 1-antitrypsin (14.1 +/- 2.9 mg/l), alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (4 +/- 0.7 mg/l), and lactoferrin (less than 50 micrograms/l).
761 2044983 We observed differences in transferrin between controls and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), and differences in alpha 1-acid glycoprotein between controls and both types of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR).
762 2060321 Findings of elevated transcapillary escape rate of albumin, elevated plasma concentration of von Willebrand factor and impaired fibrinolytic capacity in early diabetic nephropathy have supported this hypothesis.
763 2060726 The percentage of glycosylated membrane protein for both liver and kidney tissue was found to correlate significantly with the glycemic state of the animal as assessed with glycosylated serum albumin, total glycosylated serum proteins, and glycosylated hemoglobin determinations (P less than 0.001 for each glycosylated protein parameter).
764 2060726 This study demonstrates that measurement of clinical glycemic state, as reflected in glycosylated blood protein parameters such as glycosylated serum albumin and glycosylated hemoglobin, correlates significantly with ongoing tissue membrane accumulation of glucose.

771 2085107 The aim of this study was to analyze Na,Li countertransport in erythrocytes from adolescents with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and to see if those with elevated values present distinct clinical features, in particular as regards arterial pressure and urinary albumin excretion (UAE).
772 2091177 In this report albumin microspheres, serving as a matrix for crystalline insulin, were used for delivery of insulin.
773 2091177 When the microspheres were implanted on three occasions in the same animal at 15 days intervals, glucose and insulin concentrations and body weight remained within the limits observed in 100 non-diabetic rats, and no antibodies against albumin or insulin were detected.

775 2091177 When the microspheres were implanted on three occasions in the same animal at 15 days intervals, glucose and insulin concentrations and body weight remained within the limits observed in 100 non-diabetic rats, and no antibodies against albumin or insulin were detected.
776 2091882 The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of captopril on urinary albumin excretion in relation to urinary prostaglandins (PGs) excretion in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
777 2105208 Having demonstrated that plasma low density lipoproteins (LDL) bind T4 through a specific interaction with their sole apolipoprotein, apoB-100, we tested the hypothesis that cells could internalize the LDL-T4 complex via cell surface LDL receptors.
778 2105208 These changes were confirmed with several different LDL preparations and were mimicked by isolated apoB-100 and apoE, the sole ligands for the LDL receptors (apoB/E receptors).
779 2105208 The specificity of the LDL effect was shown by the finding that T4-binding globulin, prealbumin, or serum albumin, at concentrations giving 10-90% T4 bound, failed to increase T4 uptake.
780 2109332 Highly significant differences were observed in mean weight, body mass index, prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance, prevalence of diabetes, mean glycosolated haemoglobin, mean systolic blood pressure, fasting cholesterol, immunological albumin, immunological transferrin, and A1 and B apolipoproteins.

791 2115624 The roles of blood pressure and glomerular filtration rate in the renal handling of albumin, beta 2-microglobulin and sodium were studied by partial correlation analysis in 22 patients with glomerulonephritis and in 25 patients with diabetic nephropathy.
792 2122049 Pravastatin treatment resulted in lowering serum total cholesterol by 22.1% on the average (p less than 0.001), and led to a significant reduction in urinary excretion of albumin and beta 2-microglobulin in patients with an elevated urinary protein excretion rate at the baseline period.
793 2122516 To examine whether exercise-induced proteinuria in diabetes is dependent upon the size of the excreted protein, we measured urinary excretion of beta 2-microglobulin, kappa light chains, albumin and IgG before and after 20 min of moderate ergometer exercise in 34 patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and in eight healthy control subjects.
794 2122516 In contrast, exercise enhanced excretion of beta 2-microglobulin (p less than 0.05-0.01), kappa light chains (p less than 0.001), albumin (p less than 0.005-0.001) and IgG (p less than 0.01-0.001) in patients with long-standing IDDM independently of whether the patient had proteinuria in the resting state or not.

799 2132164 Spearman's correlations demonstrated statistically significant positive relationships in type II diabetic patients between fibrinogen levels and fasting glucose levels, serum cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin and urinary albumin excretion rate.
800 2134208 Fifty-nine streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, not treated with insulin clearly demonstrated one of two protein excretion patterns based on urinary albumin and IgG excretion rates. 63% (35/59) of the diabetic rats developed significantly elevated albumin excretion rates (incipient proteinuria) when compared to age-matched control animals.
801 2139429 Samples of liver donor plasma and samples of perfusate were analyzed by single radial immunodiffusion or by rocket immunoelectrophoresis for albumin, alpha 1-macroglobulin and the acute phase glycoproteins: fibrinogen, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (Darcy), alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (Kawasaki), haptoglobin, alpha 2-(acute phase) globulin, hemopexin, C3-complement and ceruloplasmin.
802 2139429 Diabetes (6 to 8 wk), untreated with insulin, resulted in significantly increased liver donor plasma levels of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (Darcy) and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (Kawasaki); plasma levels of hemopexin and of C3 decreased to 75% and 30% of normal, respectively.
803 2139429 Insulin treatment of diabetic liver donors for 6 to 8 wk prevented the increase in alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (Darcy) and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (Kawasaki) and minimized the decrease in C3 to 75% of normal.
804 2139429 Perfused livers from untreated diabetic rats (6 to 8 wk) showed slightly decreased cumulative synthesis and secretion of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (Darcy); however, synthesis of albumin was reduced to 35% of normal and that of eight glycoproteins ranged from 25% of normal (fibrinogen) to 12% of normal (C3).
805 2139429 The striking in vitro induction of increased synthesis of acute-phase proteins by cortisol plus insulin in the isolated perfused normal liver was in contrast to the severely attenuated induction in perfused livers of untreated diabetic rats, which ranges from 50% of normal for alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (Darcy) to 5% of normal (C3).

831 2148134 To investigate whether persistent microalbuminuria is related to altered levels of both lipids and apolipoproteins in Type 2 diabetes mellitus serum total-cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, apolipoprotein A-I, and apolipoprotein B were measured by standard methods in a group of Type 2 diabetic patients affected by persistent microalbuminuria (albumin excretion rate (AER) 20-200 micrograms min-1) as compared with a group of sex- and age-matched non-microalbuminuric patients (AER less than 20 micrograms min-1).
832 2150050 Urinary excretion of beta-thromboglobulin (BTG) and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) was measured in 132 normotensive Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with no evidence of overt renal disease, of whom 35 had microalbuminuria and the remainder had normal urinary albumin excretion.
833 2151227 We examined the relative roles of renal size, as well as glycemic parameters (HbA1c, glycosylated albumin, plasma glucose) in addition to growth hormone, somatomedin C, beta-hydroxybutyrate, alanine, and glycerol in determining the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
834 2151227 Sixty-two insulin-dependent patients with normal urinary albumin excretion rates (AER less than 15 micrograms/min), who were less than 50 years of age, were included in the study.
835 2151227 We suggest that exact determination of GFR and renal volume should be included in long-term prospective controlled intervention trials in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).

839 2152662 We evaluated the effects of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition upon the urinary excretion of albumin in 36 insulin dependent normotensive diabetic patients with adequate metabolic control and no evidence of renal failure. 19 subjects had normal levels of albumin excretion (< 30 mg/24 h) and 17 showed microalbuminuria from 30 to 300 mg/24 h.
840 2152662 Thus, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition reduces the urinary excretion of albumin in insulin dependent diabetics with normo or microalbuminuria.

982 2443293 Factors affecting the urinary excretion of albumin in insulin-dependent diabetes.
983 2443293 To determine the specificity of the urine excretion of albumin as a measure of glomerular permeability in early insulin-dependent diabetic nephropathy, the effect of variable glomerular filtration and urine flow rates on albumin, beta 2-microglobulin excretion, and the fractional renal clearance of neutral dextran (Stokes Einstein Radius 24-46 A) was examined.
984 2443293 Five insulin-dependent diabetic subjects with normal glomerular permeability (albumin excretion less than 30 micrograms/min) and one with elevated albumin excretion (195 micrograms/min) were studied pre and post strict glucose control with constant subcutaneous insulin infusion for 7 days.
985 2443293 In contrast, albumin excretion showed no correlation, indicating different factors affect the excretion rate of albumin and beta 2-microglobulin.
986 2443293 Therefore, elevated albumin excretion (greater than 30 micrograms/min) in insulin-dependent diabetes is due to increased glomerular permeability and not changes in glomerular filtration and urine flow rates, and the albumin/ beta 2-microglobulin ratio may not be a valid indicator of changing glomerular permeability.

1095 2563840 The release of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) by vascular endothelial cells during exercise was studied in forty men with insulin-dependent diabetes.
1096 2563840 These findings suggest that insulin-dependent diabetic patients with only slightly raised urinary albumin excretion have general endothelial cell dysfunction or damage.
1097 2583379 Rates of elevated urinary albumin concentration, defined as microalbuminuria (30-299 micrograms/ml) and macroalbuminuria (greater than or equal to 300 micrograms/ml), were determined on random morning urine specimens in the population of Nauru, which has a high prevalence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

1101 2594949 Ten per cent of non-insulin-dependent and 7 per cent of insulin-dependent diabetic patients had albumin excretion rates in the range 30-150 micrograms/min and thus were at risk of the cardiovascular and renal complications of diabetes.
1102 2594949 Six per cent of non-insulin-dependent and 5 per cent of insulin-dependent diabetic patients had albumin excretion rates above 150 micrograms/min and thus were entering the phase of clinical diabetic nephropathy.

1160 2612758 The prevalence of abnormal urinary albumin excretion, defined by a urine albumin to creatinine ratio greater than or equal to 30 mg/g (approximately equivalent to an albumin excretion rate of greater than or equal to 30 mg/24 h), was determined in 2728 Pima Indians aged greater than or equal to 15 years from the Gila River Indian Community in Arizona, a population with a high prevalence of Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus.
1161 2634509 Twenty patients with both persistent microalbuminuria (greater than 15 micrograms/min albumin in at least two out of three timed overnight urine samples) and greater than 4 measurements of glycosylated hemoglobin A1 yearly for 5 yr, were included in the study.

1173 2643309 Microalbuminuria in insulin-dependent diabetics appears to indicate early renal damage rather than susceptibility to it, yet a series of relatively small, short-term intervention studies in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients have already demonstrated reduction in albumin excretion rates or arrest in the increase of fractional clearance of albumin.
1174 2643309 Treatments have ranged from the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors aimed at lowering BP to the use of diets restricted to 0.5 to 0.6 g/kg protein and strict blood glucose control by intensified insulin treatment.
1175 2648764 In order to evaluate the accuracy of urinary C-peptide determination and the clinical significance of C-peptiduria for the early course of insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM), the rate of urinary excretion of C-peptide was determined in 32 children and adolescents with IDDM and correlated with serum C-peptide concentration, urinary excretion of albumin and beta 2-microgloublin and with the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measured in terms of the clearance of 99mTc-DTPA.
1176 2648764 GFR and urinary albumin excretion were slightly elevated in the diabetic patients as compared with non-diabetic subjects (p less than 0.05 and p less than 0.001, respectively), but C-peptide excretion was unrelated to the degree of hyperfiltration or albuminuria, neither was there any correlation between the excretion rate of beta 2-microglobulin and C-peptide.

1237 2850132 Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (thalamate clearance), renal plasma flow (RPF) (hippuran clearance), and urinary albumin excretion rate (AER) were measured in 10 normoalbuminuric, normotensive insulin-dependent diabetic patients and 8 normal subjects before and during acute angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition by means of enalapril (10 mg IV).
1238 2850132 The decline in total renal resistance was not significant (0.175 +/- 0.013 to 0.165 +/- 0.012 mmHg ml-1 min-1) and significant changes in GFR, RPF, mean arterial pressure or HbA1c were not observed.

1375 3073075 In patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), this subclinical form of proteinuria is associated with poor metabolic control and, more important, with marginal elevation of blood pressure.

1497 3408704 In conclusion, NEFA, when raised to pathological levels, can inhibit the leucocyte Na-pump in vivo even in the presence of physiological levels of serum albumin, and may increase insulin secretion.
1498 3425386 Albumin excretion rate was determined by radioimmunoassay in overnight urine from 102 normotensive patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus of more than 10 year's duration.
1499 3430955 Diabetic animals had elevated, glycated hemoglobin levels (P less than 0.05), increased creatinine clearance, and urinary albumin excretion rates (P less than 0.05) as compared to insulin treated diabetic (euglycemic), age-matched, and streptozotocin non-diabetic animals.
1500 3431031 We compared albumin and total protein in urine, serum-creatinine, creatinine-clearance, uric acid and beta 2-microglobulin in serum before, during and up to sixth months after pregnancy in 5 diabetic women with preexisting normo-albuminuria, stage II of diabetic nephropathy, in 6 women with microalbuminuria, stage III, and in 3 women with overt proteinuria, stage IV of diabetic nephropathy (by Mogensen); in this last patient-group there was a heavy proteinuria with decreased creatinine clearance and high blood pressure still before the begin of the pregnancy.
1501 3452021 Selecting albumin/creatinine ratios between 2.5 to 26.8 corresponding to albumin excretion rates between 20 mg and 250 mg/day, 26.1% of the insulin treated group were in this microalbuminuric range, and 8.7% had overt albuminuria.
1502 3508197 Twelve insulin-dependent diabetic patients without clinical evidence of complications and with normal albumin excretion rates (less than 20 micrograms/min) were studied together with 12 matched control subjects.
1503 3513009 Thirty-six patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus who had Albustix-negative urine but elevated urinary albumin excretion (30 to 300 mg per 24 hours) were matched in pairs according to their urinary albumin level, blood glycosylated hemoglobin level, and sex and assigned randomly to either unchanged conventional treatment or continuous insulin infusion.
1504 3513009 During the next 12 months a significant improvement in glycemic control was observed in the insulin-infusion group, with a reduction in the mean glycosylated hemoglobin level from 9.5 to 7.3 percent.
1505 3519044 The possible involvement of growth hormone (GH) and human placental lactogen (HPL) in the development of diabetic tissue damage during pregnancy was studied in 16 insulin-dependent diabetic patients (IDDM), 8 gestational diabetic patients (GD) and 14 normal pregnant women.
1506 3519044 HPL was positively correlated with urinary albumin excretion (UAE) in all 3 groups, but with blood pressure only in the IDDM group.
1507 3519046 We have previously reported that specific thromboxane synthetase inhibition may be associated with a reduction in albumin excretion rate in insulin-dependent diabetics (IDD).
1508 3519325 The metabolic pattern of these groups was characterized by measuring the uptake of fatty acid-labeled, very-low-density lipoprotein-borne triglycerides (VLDL-TG) and [3H]-2-deoxyglucose (2-DOG) into muscle and adipose tissues; incorporation of [14C]alanine into glycogen in vivo; gluconeogenesis from lactate, pyruvate, and alanine in hepatocytes; the effect of insulin on glycogen synthesis from glucose; the oxidation of albumin-bound [1-14C]palmitate and [14C]glucose in strips of soleus muscle; activities of muscle and adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase; and activities of rate-limiting enzymes of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and fatty acid synthesis in liver.
1509 3519325 In the liver, gluconeogenesis and the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, as well as lipid synthesis and the activity of NADP-malate dehydrogenase, were higher than in albino rats, whereas activity of pyruvate kinase was lower.

1514 3530596 The direct effects of insulin and glucose on bone modelling was studied in an in vitro system. 16 day old mice fetal radii and ulnae prelabelled with 45Ca were cultured for 48 hr in BGJ medium supplemented with either 4 mg/ml of human serum albumin or 10% fetal calf serum.
1515 3535246 Natural diabetogenic factor, which is albumin with molecular mass 60,000 Da, occurring in blood plasma of rats impaired with alloxan diabetes, caused a stable hyperglycemia, distinct decrease of insulin in blood and increased the body resistance to insulin in healthy animals.
1516 3542649 This estimate was indistinguishable from that obtained for insulin in a defined phosphate-albumin buffer under similar conditions.
1517 3542649 This result provides direct confirmation that insulin is not associated with a circulating serum binding protein(s) and that insulin is present predominantly as a monomer in plasma.
1518 3547265 We have performed 7 different urinary collections to assess albumin excretion rate in insulin-dependent diabetics.
1519 3552537 Following treatment with gliclazide in 17/32 insulin-treated and 8/17 non-insulin-treated subjects with Albustix-negative proteinuria, there was no difference in retinopathy score, total proteinuria or the renal clearance of creatinine, albumin, transferrin and immunoglobulin G.
1520 3552796 We recently demonstrated that the macrophage product interleukin 1 (IL-1) is cytotoxic to isolated pancreatic islets and hypothesized that IL-1 is responsible for beta-cell destruction in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
1521 3552796 We studied whether the variation in IDDM preponderance with age, sex, and genetic background in vivo is reflected in different susceptibility to IL-1 toxicity of islets in vitro.
1522 3552796 Five or 25% normal human serum as well as 5% normal rat serum, but not equivalent concentrations of human serum albumin, inhibited IL-1 toxicity, indicating the presence of IL-1 inhibitors, IL-1 antagonists, or beta-cell-protecting factors in normal serum.
1523 3556105 Urinary excretion of albumin, IgG, and beta 2-microglobulin was examined in 132 (69 men, 63 women) newly diagnosed, middle-aged type II diabetic patients and in 144 (62 men, 82 women) nondiabetic control subjects.
1524 3556105 The urinary excretion of albumin in the diabetic subjects was not associated with the presence of hypertension or coronary heart disease or with the fasting blood glucose or serum insulin levels measured at diagnosis of diabetes.
1525 3556105 Urinary excretion of albumin, IgG, and beta 2-microglobulin was examined in 132 (69 men, 63 women) newly diagnosed, middle-aged type II diabetic patients and in 144 (62 men, 82 women) nondiabetic control subjects.
1526 3556105 The urinary excretion of albumin in the diabetic subjects was not associated with the presence of hypertension or coronary heart disease or with the fasting blood glucose or serum insulin levels measured at diagnosis of diabetes.

1542 3621595 A good correlation between glycated albumin and glycated hemoglobin was observed, while the correlation between glycated IgG and glycated albumin (or hemoglobin) was lower.
1543 3622197 Metabolic control was assessed by evaluation of 5-8 blood glucose determinations/day and by glycosylated hemoglobin, whereas renal function was evaluated by albumin, IgG and beta 2-microglobulin urinary excretion rates, serum creatinine concentration, and creatinine clearance.
1544 3626428 No strict correlations were found between serum glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, and glycosylated albumin, on the one hand, and coagulation promoting or inhibiting factors, aggregation or thromboxane B2 production, on the other, in either control or diabetic subjects.
1545 3630538 Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of glycosylated serum proteins revealed that albumin and transferrin are the major proteins that are significantly glycosylated.

1547 3671097 Output of 14CO2 showed slight correlations with serum albumin and 99mTc-sulfur colloid scan grade, but not with other function tests (SGOT, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin).
1548 3677984 We have developed techniques that permit the affinity-chromatographic determination of glycosylated hemoglobin, plasma protein, and albumin on fingerstick samples of whole blood.
1549 3690834 No relationship was found between the level of glycation of platelets in diabetics to parameters commonly used to monitor glycemic control (glycated hemoglobin, glycated albumin, fasting blood glucose).
1550 3690956 Elevated albumin excretion rate is common among poorly controlled adolescent insulin dependent diabetics.
1551 3698785 In eight insulin-dependent diabetic subjects, albumin excretion measured in short periods of urine collection (3 h) were also in close agreement with 24-h collections (24.7 +/- 28.9 versus 17.6 +/- 18 micrograms/min).

1605 3803236 We determined HBA1 (microcolumn method) and glycosylated albumin (fructosamine) in 23 healthy subjects, 35 patients with renal insufficiency without diabetes and 14 patients with diabetes mellitus and renal insufficiency.
1606 3803236 We conclude that determination of HBA1 in pronounced renal insufficiency does not provide reliable values because carbamylated hemoglobin is also registered and determination of fructosamine (which only indicates the metabolic situation in the last three weeks, however) is to be preferred in this situation.

2077 7621973 The risk of cardiovascular disease is increased in both insulin-dependent (IDDM) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), and Lp(a) has attracted attention as a potential risk factor in diabetic patients.
2078 7621973 Lp(a) levels are "probably" elevated in IDDM patients and related to altered metabolic control and increased urinary albumin excretion rate or renal insufficiency, although results are controversial.

2099 7648516 The decrease in myocardial lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity observed previously in acute, severe models of insulin-deficient diabetes may be a compensatory response to hypertriglyceridemia and a sustained increase in fatty acid delivery to cardiomyocytes.
2100 7648516 Perfusion of rat hearts with 100 microM lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) released a small amount of LPL activity into the perfusate, but only if albumin was omitted from the perfusion solution.

2186 7827347 Microalbuminuria, defined as an urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) between 30 and 300 mg/day, strongly predicts the development of nephropathy in IDDM.
2187 7829831 A bovine albumin peptide as a possible trigger of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
2188 7846897 Progression of the nephropathy may be halted in most of the cases by adhering to set limits in mean arterial blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin and urinary albumin excretion rate.
2189 7849428 In normal vitreous, the protein content consisted mainly of albumin, transferrin, alpha 1-antitrypsin, IgG, and prealbumin as confirmed by the comparison with protein standards.
2190 7849428 Compared to vitreous controls, all PDR samples were shown to have lower amounts of transferrin, alpha 1-antitrypsin, and prealbumin.
2191 7851067 Fasting serum total cholesterol, total triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, apolipoproteins AI and B, lipoprotein (a), HbA1, plasma glucose, insulin, and C-peptide responses to a carbohydrate rich meal, body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio, urinary albumin excretion rate, blood pressure, smoking and family history were assessed as possible 'risk factors'.

2196 7851680 Arterial hypertension and poor glycaemic control are central to the development of microalbuminuria in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
2197 7851680 Between 1988 and 1990, we measured urinary albumin to creatinine concentration ratio (A/C) in 3,636 adult out-patients with IDDM of more than 3 years duration, serum creatinine under 133 mumol/l and who were not undergoing antihypertensive treatment.
2198 7853952 Effect of low-dose heparin on urinary albumin excretion in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
2199 7853952 We investigated the effect of heparin on urinary albumin excretion in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. 39 patients with persistent urinary albumin excretion of 30-300 mg/24 h were randomly treated for 3 months with subcutaneous injections twice daily of isotonic saline, 5000 IU unfractionated heparin, or 2000 anti-Xa IU low-molecular-weight heparin.
2200 7853952 Effect of low-dose heparin on urinary albumin excretion in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
2201 7853952 We investigated the effect of heparin on urinary albumin excretion in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. 39 patients with persistent urinary albumin excretion of 30-300 mg/24 h were randomly treated for 3 months with subcutaneous injections twice daily of isotonic saline, 5000 IU unfractionated heparin, or 2000 anti-Xa IU low-molecular-weight heparin.
2202 7856176 The major protein constituents of lipoprotein (a) are apolipoprotein B 100 und apolipoprotein (a) (apo(a)).
2203 7856176 After subdivision of the diabetic patients according to different stages of diabetic nephropathy (DN), determined by urinary albumin excretion, significant relationships were found between DN and triglycerides (P = 0.04), LDL (P = 0.03) and apolipoprotein B (P = 0.008, Kruskal-Wallis test) levels.
2204 7869657 We performed a cross-sectional study on the urinary excretion profiles of albumin (a marker of glomerular dysfunction) and retinol-binding protein (a low molecular mass protein marker of renal proximal tubular dysfunction) in non-insulin dependent (Type II) diabetics, with or without retinopathy.
2205 7888041 The protective effect of i.t. injection of islet cells was compared with the effect of i.t. injection of syngeneic peritoneal exudate cells, NIT-1 cells, bovine serum albumin (BSA), ABBOS peptide, a 52 kDa islet cell membrane protein, various synthetic peptides from human glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and a Coxsackievirus B4-derived peptide with homology to GAD.
2206 7912295 Individual vWF and urine albumin-excretion values were correlated (r = 0.55, p < 0.002).
2207 7912295 Blood pressure correlated with both urinary albumin excretion and vWF.
2208 7912295 Left ventricular mass index and minimal forearm vascular resistances were comparable in patients with hypertension and higher than in controls; total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, lipoprotein-a, Factor VII, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 did not differ.
2209 7912295 Individual vWF and urine albumin-excretion values were correlated (r = 0.55, p < 0.002).
2210 7912295 Blood pressure correlated with both urinary albumin excretion and vWF.
2211 7912295 Left ventricular mass index and minimal forearm vascular resistances were comparable in patients with hypertension and higher than in controls; total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, lipoprotein-a, Factor VII, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 did not differ.
2212 7918678 Triggering of autoimmunity in insulin-dependent diabetes was linked to dietary bovine serum albumin (BSA).
2213 7922255 The prevalence of an abnormally elevated albumin excretion rate (> 30 mg/24 h) is approximately 40% in patients with both insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
2214 7922255 Randomized controlled trials in normotensive IDDM and NIDDM patients with persistent microalbuminuria indicate that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors diminish urinary albumin excretion rate and postpone or may even prevent progression to clinically overt diabetic nephropathy.
2215 7922255 Besides ACE inhibitors, conventional antihypertensive treatment (mainly beta-blockers and diuretics) reportedly reduce albuminuria and diminish the loss of kidney function in IDDM patients with diabetic nephropathy.
2216 7922255 The same beneficial effect has been demonstrated using ACE inhibition combined with diuretics in hypertensive IDDM patients with overt nephropathy.
2217 7922255 The prevalence of an abnormally elevated albumin excretion rate (> 30 mg/24 h) is approximately 40% in patients with both insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
2218 7922255 Randomized controlled trials in normotensive IDDM and NIDDM patients with persistent microalbuminuria indicate that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors diminish urinary albumin excretion rate and postpone or may even prevent progression to clinically overt diabetic nephropathy.
2219 7922255 Besides ACE inhibitors, conventional antihypertensive treatment (mainly beta-blockers and diuretics) reportedly reduce albuminuria and diminish the loss of kidney function in IDDM patients with diabetic nephropathy.
2220 7922255 The same beneficial effect has been demonstrated using ACE inhibition combined with diuretics in hypertensive IDDM patients with overt nephropathy.
2221 7926312 Although microalbuminuria is known to foretell the later development of overt proteinuria in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), different investigators have reported different levels of albuminuria as being predictive.
2222 7926312 In this study, we divided a cohort of 66 nonproteinuric long-standing (duration 20 +/- 7 years) IDDM patients, who had both renal functional and structural studies performed, into four groups according to their urinary albumin excretion rate (AER).
2223 7933815 Glycated albumin, which is increased in diabetic sera and is preferentially transported into the renal glomerulus, induces an increase in Type IV collagen production and a decrease in proliferative capacity by mesangial cells in culture.
2224 7955992 We therefore studied factors relating to albumin excretion rate in children with insulin-dependent diabetes.
2225 7955992 HbA1c since diagnosis, mean blood pressure, lipoprotein(a), and apolipoprotein B did not correlate with albumin excretion rate, after controlling for other variables.
2226 7955992 We therefore studied factors relating to albumin excretion rate in children with insulin-dependent diabetes.
2227 7955992 HbA1c since diagnosis, mean blood pressure, lipoprotein(a), and apolipoprotein B did not correlate with albumin excretion rate, after controlling for other variables.
2228 7958502 To test the role of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) or bovine serum albumin (BSA) autoimmunity in the pathogenesis of diabetes, GAD65 or BSA was injected intraperitoneally into neonatal female NOD mice (100 micrograms/mouse of each protein).
2229 7959605 Antioxidants measured were ceruloplasmin, unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC) and albumin as components of AOA; and uric acid, protein sulfhydryl and alpha-tocopherol as components of TRAP.
2230 7960490 Aim of this study was 1) to verify whether such a decrease might be due to an altered urinary excretion of AA, and 2) whether this latter was modified in presence of early diabetic nephropathy with microalbuminuria (albumin excretion rate [AER] > 20 micrograms/min) in a group of 21 patients affected by insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes mellitus (IDDM) as compared with 13 healthy controls matched for sex, age, dietary AA intake, and creatinine clearance per 1.73 m2 (CCl).
2231 7961698 Insulin and dietary fructose induce stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 gene expression of diabetic mice.
2232 7961698 In this study, we used streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice to study the regulatory role of carbohydrate and insulin on expression of the SCD1 gene in liver.
2233 7961698 Similarly, insulin administration to diabetic mice induced SCD1 mRNA from 4-fold within 4 h to 22-fold within 24 h.
2234 7961698 Insulin plus fructose, however, achieved full induction, with a 45-fold increase of SCD1 mRNA and a 10-fold increase in SCD1 transcription within 24 h.
2235 7961698 Additionally, the effect of insulin on SCD1 mRNA was inhibited 75% with dibutyryl-cAMP and theophylline administration and 70% by cycloheximide administration.
2236 7961698 Synthesis of liver albumin mRNA showed little change upon dietary manipulation or insulin treatment.
2237 7961698 Our data demonstrate that insulin and dietary fructose or a metabolite of fructose positively regulate the expression of the SCD1 gene in mouse liver.
2238 7976266 The relation between retinopathy and albumin excretion rate in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

2241 7976266 In a population-based patient material of 138 insulin-dependent diabetics aged 25-34 years, and with a diabetes onset before 30 years of age, the relation between retinopathy and albumin excretion rate was studied.
2242 7976268 Secretory immunoglobulin A, lactoferrin, lysozyme and tear specific pre-albumin were analyzed in stimulated tear fluid of 25 diabetic patients without retinopathy and in 29 diabetic patients with (pre) proliferative retinopathy using high performance liquid chromatography.
2243 7980694 Apolipoprotein E2, renal failure and lipid abnormalities in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
2244 7980694 The association of apolipoprotein E (apo E) genetic polymorphism, particularly apo E2, with renal failure (plasma creatinine > or = 1.4 mg/dl, and urinary albumin excretion index > or = 300 mg/g.creatinine and/or persistent proteinuria) was investigated in 57 non-insulin-dependent diabetic (NIDDM) patients.
2245 7982765 Is a random urinary albumin concentration a useful screening test in insulin-treated diabetic patients?
2246 7982765 In 1984, as part of a randomised survey of our diabetes clinic, 43 of 249 patients with insulin treated diabetes mellitus, were found to have microalbuminuria (urinary albumin concentration 35-300 ug ml-1) on a spot morning urine sample.
2247 7982765 Is a random urinary albumin concentration a useful screening test in insulin-treated diabetic patients?
2248 7982765 In 1984, as part of a randomised survey of our diabetes clinic, 43 of 249 patients with insulin treated diabetes mellitus, were found to have microalbuminuria (urinary albumin concentration 35-300 ug ml-1) on a spot morning urine sample.
2249 7987655 Two groups of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus of > 10 years duration and either persistent normoalbuminuria (group 1, n = 49; albumin excretion < 30 mg/day) or microalbuminuria (group 2, n = 33; albumin excretion 30-300 mg/day) were investigated for evidence of free oxygen radical activity (erythrocytic superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase) and oxidant injury (serum malondialdehyde).
2250 7988317 Children with newly diagnosed IDDM have increased levels of antibodies to bovine serum albumin but not to ovalbumin.
2251 7997851 T cells from children with IDDM are sensitized to bovine serum albumin.
2252 7997851 Epidemiological and experimental evidence suggested that denial of dietary cow milk protein early in life protects genetically susceptible children and animals from insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM).
2253 7999872 Diabetic and nondiabetic patients had similar weekly KT/Vurea, weekly Ccr, PCR, serum albumin levels, weekly erythropoietin (EPO) requirements, peritonitis rates, and CAPD-related hospitalization rates.
2254 7999872 Elderly and younger patients had similar weekly KT/Vurea, weekly Ccr, PCR, serum albumin levels, and weekly EPO requirements.
2255 7999872 Diabetic and nondiabetic patients had similar weekly KT/Vurea, weekly Ccr, PCR, serum albumin levels, weekly erythropoietin (EPO) requirements, peritonitis rates, and CAPD-related hospitalization rates.

2257 8005523 Daily injection of insulin (2 U, SC) starting on the third day after streptozotocin treatment significantly reduced both urinary albumin excretion and papillary 8-OHdG formation, which suggests that these are associated with the diabetic state induced by streptozotocin rather than a direct nephrotoxic effect of the drug.
2258 8007583 In youth-onset IDDS declining plasma renin activity is significantly associated with improved albumin excretion, while persistently elevated renin activity is associated with continued abnormal microalbuminuria.
2259 8012066 To evaluate the renal structural changes in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), we studied the renal histological findings and urinary albumin excretion in 75 patients with NIDDM.
2260 8022756 Plasma levels of fibrinogen, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AG) and albumin, pancreatic insulitis quantitative scores, and erythrocyte velocity in the mesoappendix microvessels were measured in BB diabetic (BBD) and streptozotocin-diabetic rats (WSTZ) in order to answer the following questions: (a) Does hyperfibrinogenemia or increase in AG plasma level occur in BBD and WSTZ rats, and if so, are these alterations secondary to the hyperglycemia or to an inflammatory process such as insulitis?
2261 8043910 The cultures were exposed to modified human proteins: alpha-1-antitrypsin cleaved with papain, fibrinogen degradation products (fraction D) purified from plasmin digest, and non-enzymatically glycosylated (glycated) serum albumin.
2262 8048799 Fasting blood glucose, percent of glycated hemoglobin, serum insulin, serum total cholesterol, body weight and kidney weight, creatinine clearance, urine total protein excretion, urine albumin excretion, and morphometric analyses of cortical glomeruli by light and electron microscopy were performed to evaluate metabolic control, renal function, and structure.
2263 8050454 The aim of the present study was to investigate whether impaired peripheral insulin sensitivity, during euglycaemic-hyperinsulinaemic clamp, as well as abnormalities in lipid concentrations and LDL size, predict abnormalities in albumin excretion rate, blood pressure and cardiac function in 73 consecutive normotensive (< 85 mmHg diastolic level) and normoalbuminuric (< 15 micrograms min-1 daily albumin excretion rate) NIDDM patients.
2264 8061350 Fifty-six type I diabetic patients with microalbuminuria (albumin excretion rate 20-200 micrograms/min) were characterized as to sex, age, duration of diabetes, smoking habits, blood pressure, glomerular filtration rate, urinary NC1 (the carboxy-terminal domain of collagen IV), and Tamm-Horsfall protein excretion rate.
2265 8061350 The latter was influenced by glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, especially so in patients with an albumin excretion rate less than the median value of 53.0 micrograms/min (r = -0.61, p < 0.01).
2266 8061350 Fifty-six type I diabetic patients with microalbuminuria (albumin excretion rate 20-200 micrograms/min) were characterized as to sex, age, duration of diabetes, smoking habits, blood pressure, glomerular filtration rate, urinary NC1 (the carboxy-terminal domain of collagen IV), and Tamm-Horsfall protein excretion rate.
2267 8061350 The latter was influenced by glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, especially so in patients with an albumin excretion rate less than the median value of 53.0 micrograms/min (r = -0.61, p < 0.01).
2268 8063050 Impact of glycaemic control on urinary albumin excretion in patients with type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus.
2269 8086648 Measuring the urinary albumin excretion rate and testing for microalbuminuria is well established in the control and treatment of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
2270 8086653 Microalbuminuria is thought to be rare in people with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) for less than 5 years.
2271 8086653 In conclusion, these two studies in 36 centers, which used different methods more than 10 years apart, show consistently that raised urinary albumin excretion occurs before 5 years of IDDM.
2272 8088010 Elevated serum and urinary thrombomodulin levels in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
2273 8088010 Serum and urinary thrombomodulin levels were measured in 79 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
2274 8088010 Serum thrombomodulin levels increased in keeping with urinary albumin levels.
2275 8088128 Prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 and antithrombin III-thrombin complex in microalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients.
2276 8088128 To investigate whether or not microalbuminuria is associated with haemostatic abnormalities in Type 2 diabetic patients, we measured the prothrombin fragment 1 + 2, a marker of thrombin generation, and the thrombin-antithrombin complex, a marker of thrombin neutralization.
2277 8088128 Plasma levels of prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 and thrombin-antithrombin complex were assayed in 17 microalbuminuric patients (albumin excretion rate, AER 20-200 micrograms min-1) and in 17 comparable normoalbuminuric (AER < 20 micrograms min-1) Type 2 diabetic patients.
2278 8088128 Plasma thrombin-antithrombin complex values were not significantly different in the two groups and were not correlated with AER.
2279 8089830 Atrial natriuretic peptide and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
2280 8089830 Antihypertensive treatment was discontinued for at least six weeks prior to measurements of routine biochemistry, proteinuria, plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) concentrations and components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS).
2281 8089830 The hypertensive patients also had significantly higher plasma ANP concentrations (36.5 (20.5-125.1) vs. 23.2 (11.7-63.0) pg/ml, P < 0.001), serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity (65 (26-140.9) vs. 47 (22-106) units/l, P < 0.001) and urinary albumin excretion (UAE) (35.4 (1.6-4800) vs. 7.8 (1.8-310.4) mg/day, P < 0.001).
2282 8089830 Mean arterial pressure (MAP) correlated positively with plasma ANP concentration (r = 0.53, P < 0.001) and serum ACE activity (r = 0.37, P < 0.001).
2283 8105164 By means of a euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp method, we measured total-body glucose utilisation rate and studied the interaction of this measure of insulin sensitivity with known risk factors for cardiovascular disease in 14 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria and 14 with normal albumin excretion (median albumin excretion rate [AER] 56.2 [range 39.2-80.6] vs 8.8 [7.4-10.7] micrograms per min).
2284 8105957 Laboratory data that were analyzed included hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity, ferritin, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, BUN/creatinine ratio, albumin, total protein, parathyroid hormone, and aluminum.
2285 8105957 The infrequent EPO group required only 35% as much EPO as the frequent group to maintain hemoglobin and hematocrit, which were significantly greater.
2286 8120299 Bovine serum albumin detected in infant formula is a possible trigger for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

2290 8137717 To reduce urinary albumin excretion in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), we administered 100 mg of cilostazol, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, daily for 3 months.
2291 8138185 To determine whether alteration in serum antioxidant status is related to the increased oxidative stress as a cause of diabetic angiopathy, we measured both the antioxidant activity (AOA) and total peroxyl radical-trapping antioxidant parameter (TRAP), and their component individual antioxidants in serum of children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
2292 8138185 Antioxidants measured were ceruloplasmin, transferrin, and albumin as components of AOA; and ascorbic acid, uric acid, protein sulfhydryl, and alpha-tocopherol as components of TRAP.
2293 8144582 AGE albumin or AGEs immunoisolated from diabetic plasma resulted in induction of endothelial cell (EC) oxidant stress, including the generation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and resulted in the activation of NF-kappa B, each of which was blocked by antibodies to AGE receptor polypeptides and by antioxidants.
2294 8144582 Infusion of AGE albumin into normal animals led to the appearance of malondialdehyde determinants in the vessel wall and increased TBARS in the tissues, activation of NF-kappa B, and induction of heme oxygenase mRNA.
2295 8144582 AGE albumin or AGEs immunoisolated from diabetic plasma resulted in induction of endothelial cell (EC) oxidant stress, including the generation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and resulted in the activation of NF-kappa B, each of which was blocked by antibodies to AGE receptor polypeptides and by antioxidants.
2296 8144582 Infusion of AGE albumin into normal animals led to the appearance of malondialdehyde determinants in the vessel wall and increased TBARS in the tissues, activation of NF-kappa B, and induction of heme oxygenase mRNA.
2297 8158341 Urinary albumin excretion as an index of total cardiovascular stress: relationship to macro-angiopathic complications in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
2298 8159110 These experiments were undertaken to assess the effects of combined treatment with insulin (designed to partially restore metabolic control) and sorbinil (an aldose reductase inhibitor [ARI]) versus the effects of sorbinil alone or of two insulin regimens providing different degrees of glycemic control on diabetes-induced metabolic derangements and vascular function.
2299 8159110 Metabolic parameters were unaffected by sorbinil treatment in controls and diabetics, whereas insulin administration in the diabetics virtually normalized body growth, food consumption, urine volume, and plasma glucose levels, and markedly decreased hemoglobin A1 (HbA1) levels.
2300 8159110 Regional vascular 131I-albumin permeation was increased about twofold to threefold by diabetes in ocular tissues, sciatic nerve, aorta, diaphragm, and new granulation tissue; it was decreased (but not normalized) by insulin treatment in accordance with improved metabolic control, and was completely normalized by sorbinil. 131I-albumin kidney clearance, as well as urinary albumin and IgG excretion, were markedly increased in diabetic rats and were significantly decreased but not completely normalized by sorbinil and by twice-daily insulin treatment.
2301 8159915 Protein intake in relation to glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and urinary albumin excretion (UAE) has been studied in 96 insulin-treated diabetic patients, 20-40 years of age and without nephropathy.
2302 8163055 In an attempt to evaluate the mechanisms of proteinuria in diabetic kidney disease, we measured the renal clearances of albumin, total IgG, and IgG4 in 20 male Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with diabetic glomerulosclerosis (biopsy proven), in 10 male Type 2 diabetic patients without nephropathy (urinary albumin excretion rate < or = 30 mg/24 h), and in 10 healthy male subjects.
2303 8167381 To clarify the relationship between early diabetic nephropathy and the glycemic control in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) without hypertension, excretion of urinary albumin was studied retrospectively for 8 years.
2304 8173700 The effects of spirapril and isradipine on blood pressure, urinary albumin excretion and sodium-volume homeostasis in hypertensive insulin-dependent diabetic patients with nephropathy were assessed.

2310 8187217 Subjects with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) have an increased incidence of coronary heart disease.
2311 8187217 Several studies have suggested that Lp(a) levels may be increased in IDDM subjects, although these studies have been limited by the lack of information on apo(a) phenotype and urinary albumin excretion.
2312 8190178 Apolipoprotein (a) levels and atherogenic lipid fractions in relation to the degree of urinary albumin excretion in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
2313 8190178 The relationship between serum lipids, apolipoprotein levels including apolipoprotein (a) to albumin excretion rate (AER) in 52 (17 male, 35 female) type 2 diabetic patients was studied.

2315 8190178 The relationship between serum lipids, apolipoprotein levels including apolipoprotein (a) to albumin excretion rate (AER) in 52 (17 male, 35 female) type 2 diabetic patients was studied.
2316 8202200 There was no correlation between urinary albumin excretion rate and EGF excretion in the diabetic subjects (r = -0.18, n.s.) and in all subjects (r = -0.12, n.s.).
2317 8202200 No significant correlation could be found between urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) and EGF/GFR (r = -0.07, n.s.).

2421 8287643 Forty normotensive patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus of between 10 and 20 years duration with persistent normoalbuminuria (albumin excretion < 30 mg/day) and normal renal function were investigated for markers of endothelial dysfunction (plasma von Willebrand factor, soluble thrombomodulin and angiotensin-converting enzyme activity), free oxygen radical generation (erythrocytic superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase) and oxidant injury (serum malondialdehyde).
2422 8287643 Group 1 comprised 21 patients with elevated markers of endothelial dysfunction, and group 2 comprised 19 patients with normal levels of plasma von Willebrand factor, soluble thrombomodulin and angiotensin-converting enzyme activity.
2423 8287660 Twenty-eight insulin-dependent diabetic patients (14 with normal albumin excretion, 14 with microalbuminuria) were studied under euglycaemic conditions, together with 14 healthy control subjects.
2424 8314015 PAI-1 and factor VII activity are higher in IDDM patients with microalbuminuria.
2425 8314015 Microalbuminuria is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients, but the pathophysiological basis of this association is not clear.
2426 8314015 To see whether or not hemostatic dysfunctions might contribute to explain this association, we measured tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), factor VII activity, plasma fibrinogen, and plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1) in 13 microalbuminuric (albumin excretion rate [AER], 20-200 micrograms/min) and in 13 comparable normoalbuminuric (< 20 micrograms/min) IDDM patients. t-PA and ET-1 were similar in the two groups, whereas PAI-1 activity (5.65 +/- 1.92 vs. 0.85 +/- 0.58 IU/ml, P < 0.05), factor VII (87.85 +/- 4.94 vs. 76.54 +/- 2.31%, P < 0.05), and plasma fibrinogen (3.38 +/- 0.21 vs. 2.65 +/- 0.13 g/l, P < 0.05) were significantly higher in microalbuminuric than in normoalbuminuric patients.
2427 8314015 Plasma fibrinogen was related to AER (r2 = 0.23, P < 0.05), whereas triglycerides and factor VII were related to PAI-1 (r2 = 0.39, P < 0.001 and r2 = 0.10, P < 0.05).
2428 8314023 These subjects were divided into four groups on the basis of BP levels and albumin excretion rate (AER): 28 normotensive normoalbuminuric (NIDDM1), 19 hypertensive normoalbuminuric (NIDDM2), 15 normotensive microalbuminuric (NIDDM3), and 13 hypertensive microalbuminuric patients (NIDDM4).
2429 8314455 In addition to von Willebrand factor and urinary albumin excretion, plasma endothelin is an indicator of endothelial dysfunction in diabetes mellitus.
2430 8314651 Eight patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and 8 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) with glycosylated hemoglobin levels of at least 10.5% were studied during a 6-week period of antidiabetic therapy.
2431 8314651 Glycosylated serum albumin (GSA) and glycosylated total serum proteins (GSP) were measured weekly using an affinity chromatography procedure.
2432 8314651 The correlation coefficients for the glycosylated proteins versus the MBG determined one week earlier were highest for GSA [IDDM: r(GSA/MBG-1) = 0.726, p < 0.001 for the single values and 0.984, p < 0.001 for the mean values; NIDDM: r (GSA/MBG-1) = 0.636, p < 0.001 for the single values and 0.986, p < 0.001 for the mean values].
2433 8319520 Normoalbuminuric insulin-dependent diabetic (IDDM) patients may present higher rates of urinary albumin excretion after submaximal exercise at a standard intensity.
2434 8319520 To evaluate whether the urinary albumin excretion of IDDM patients is increased after maximal and submaximal exercise when exercise intensities are adjusted according to individual lactate thresholds, 16 normoalbuminuric IDDM patients (mean time from diagnosis 8 years) and 13 normal controls exercised for 20 min at intensities corresponding to 90% of the first and second lactate thresholds and to maximal tolerance on different days.
2435 8319520 Thus, when exercise intensities are adjusted for lactate thresholds, normoalbuminuric IDDM patients present normal intensity-related urinary albumin excretion during exercise.
2436 8319520 Normoalbuminuric insulin-dependent diabetic (IDDM) patients may present higher rates of urinary albumin excretion after submaximal exercise at a standard intensity.

2438 8319520 Thus, when exercise intensities are adjusted for lactate thresholds, normoalbuminuric IDDM patients present normal intensity-related urinary albumin excretion during exercise.
2439 8319520 Normoalbuminuric insulin-dependent diabetic (IDDM) patients may present higher rates of urinary albumin excretion after submaximal exercise at a standard intensity.
2440 8319520 To evaluate whether the urinary albumin excretion of IDDM patients is increased after maximal and submaximal exercise when exercise intensities are adjusted according to individual lactate thresholds, 16 normoalbuminuric IDDM patients (mean time from diagnosis 8 years) and 13 normal controls exercised for 20 min at intensities corresponding to 90% of the first and second lactate thresholds and to maximal tolerance on different days.
2441 8319520 Thus, when exercise intensities are adjusted for lactate thresholds, normoalbuminuric IDDM patients present normal intensity-related urinary albumin excretion during exercise.
2442 8322786 Because cardiovascular and nutritional risk are prevalent in this population, we examined the prognostic value of the serum levels of two markers of risk in the general population: (1) lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], a low-density lipoprotein-like particle linked to myocardial infarction and coronary bypass stenosis, and (2) prealbumin, a marker of visceral protein status, with a shorter half-life than that of serum albumin.
2443 8322786 Serum prealbumin was strongly correlated with serum albumin (r = 0.49, P < 0.001).
2444 8322786 However, prealbumin correlated (P < 0.001) more strongly with other serum nutrition markers (total cholesterol, apoB, creatinine, urea) than did serum albumin.
2445 8322786 Age, diabetes, and serum levels of albumin, prealbumin, creatinine, total cholesterol and apoB, but not Lp(a), were correlated with survival in univariate analysis.

2458 8339858 Short term effect of an aldose reductase inhibitor on urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in type 1 diabetic patients with incipient nephropathy.
2459 8349807 Glomerular and tubular albumin kinetics were examined in streptozotocin (65 mg/kg body wt, i.v.) diabetic, Munich-Wistar rats at 7-10 (untreated) and 50-70 d (poorly controlled with small doses of insulin) after the onset of diabetes and compared with nondiabetic controls.
2460 8365091 The presence of coronary heart disease, neuropathy and retinopathy, cardiovascular risk factors and 24-h urinary excretion rate of albumin, beta-2-microglobulin, and IgG were examined.
2461 8397127 Chronic exposure of rat fat cells to insulin enhances lipolysis and activation of partially purified hormone-sensitive lipase.
2462 8397127 When rat epididymal fat pads are incubated in culture medium with bovine serum albumin for 2-4 h with 2 ng/ml or 50 microU/ml of insulin, hormone-sensitive lipase activity in the postmicrosomal supernatant fraction after acid precipitation and activation with ATP-Mg2+ increases significantly compared with preparations from tissues incubated with the vehicle.
2463 8397127 The specific activities of hormone-sensitive lipase in sonicates of adipocytes after primary culture with insulin at concentrations from 10 to 4000 ng/ml (250 microU to 100 mU/ml) increase in an insulin-dose-related manner.
2464 8397127 Although an increase in lipolysis is seen with norepinephrine and growth hormone after insulin treatment, other lipolytic agents such as ACTH, thyrotropin, and glucagon evoke similar responses in insulin-treated and control cells.
2465 8399577 This longitudinal study was performed to evaluate the change of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose control in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) during predialysis (PreD), on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and after kidney graft.
2466 8399577 The mean values of weight, serum albumin, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol, and triglycerides were calculated during each period.
2467 8403825 The relationship between plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and insulin resistance in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.
2468 8403825 PAl-1 was related to BMI, r = 0.59, p < 0.001 plasma insulin, r = 0.66, p < 0.001; insulin resistance, r = 0.54, p < 0.005 and urinary albumin excretion, r = 0.48, p < 0.01, but not HbA1c or fasting glucose.
2469 8403825 This study suggests that at the time of diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes mellitus, elevated PAl-1 levels are already linked to other risk factors for vascular disease including hyperinsulinaemia, insulin resistance, and urinary albumin excretion, and this is not the result of obesity or coexistent atherosclerosis.
2470 8403825 The relationship between plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and insulin resistance in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.
2471 8403825 PAl-1 was related to BMI, r = 0.59, p < 0.001 plasma insulin, r = 0.66, p < 0.001; insulin resistance, r = 0.54, p < 0.005 and urinary albumin excretion, r = 0.48, p < 0.01, but not HbA1c or fasting glucose.

2473 8405755 IX: Relationships of urinary albumin and N-acetylglucosaminidase to glycaemia and hypertension at diagnosis of type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and after 3 months diet therapy.
2474 8405755 In 672 newly-diagnosed, Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients without urinary infection, aged 51 (9) years, mean (1 SD), 28% of patients had raised albuminuria, defined as albumin excretion greater than 25 mg/l and 66% raised urinary N-acetylglucosaminidase excretion defined as greater than 300 mumol.h-1.l-1 (both urinary analytes corrected by linear regression on urinary creatinine to 10 mmol/1).
2475 8405755 IX: Relationships of urinary albumin and N-acetylglucosaminidase to glycaemia and hypertension at diagnosis of type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and after 3 months diet therapy.
2476 8405755 In 672 newly-diagnosed, Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients without urinary infection, aged 51 (9) years, mean (1 SD), 28% of patients had raised albuminuria, defined as albumin excretion greater than 25 mg/l and 66% raised urinary N-acetylglucosaminidase excretion defined as greater than 300 mumol.h-1.l-1 (both urinary analytes corrected by linear regression on urinary creatinine to 10 mmol/1).
2477 8407170 Plasma alpha-tocopherol and retinol, both assayed by an HPLC method, have been evaluated in a group of 60 patients affected by insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes mellitus, stratified according to the presence of retinopathy and nephropathy diagnosed by an urinary albumin excretion rate ranging between 20 and 200 micrograms/min (microalbuminaria) or > 200 micrograms/min (macroalbuminuria), all of whom were compared with 26 healthy controls strictly matched for age and sex.
2478 8428402 Increased urinary albumin and beta 2-microglobulin excretion, not associated with drug therapy, is present in patients with early HIV infection.
2479 8436253 We have therefore examined the relationship between insulin-mediated glucose disposal and erythrocyte sodium-lithium countertransport in 41 normotensive (mean blood pressure 120/74 mmHg), normoalbuminuric (mean albumin excretion 6.2 micrograms/min), normolipidaemic (mean serum cholesterol 4.3 mmol/l and mean serum triglycerides 1.0 mmol/l) Type 1 diabetic patients.
2480 8436254 Transcapillary escape rate of albumin in hypertensive patients with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus.
2481 8436254 Group 2--ten Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with incipient nephropathy (urinary albumin excretion rate: 30-300 mg/24 h) and normal blood pressure.
2482 8436254 Transcapillary escape rate of albumin in hypertensive patients with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus.
2483 8436254 Group 2--ten Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with incipient nephropathy (urinary albumin excretion rate: 30-300 mg/24 h) and normal blood pressure.
2484 8439475 Early tubular alterations were studied in 53 children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), 32 of whom were followed at regular 6-monthly intervals for 3 years.
2485 8439475 The urinary levels of retinol-binding protein (RBP), beta 2-microglobulin and brush border antigens (BBA) (determined by monoclonal enzyme immunoassay) were taken as indices of functional and cellular tubular alterations; urinary albumin was considered an early marker of glomerular alterations.
2486 8445289 We measured in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study the effect of a thromboxane synthase inhibitor (FCE 22178, 400 mg two or three times per day) on urinary excretion of thromboxane B2 and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha, glomerular filtration rate (measured as clearance of polyfructosan), effective renal plasma flow (clearance of para-aminohippuric acid), fractional clearances of albumin and immunoglobin G and the reabsorption rate of beta 2-microglobulin in 15 patients with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic nephropathy.
2487 8448868 We determined the urinary excretion, expressed as the protein/creatinine ratio (morning urines), of albumin (a marker of glomerular dysfunction) and retinol-binding protein (RBP; a low-molecular-mass protein marker of tubular proteinuria) in 102 non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients.
2488 8448868 The population could be divided into four subgroups: 32 with normal excretion values, 15 with above-normal urinary excretion of RBP, 24 with above-normal urinary excretion of albumin, and 31 patients with above-normal urinary excretion of both proteins.
2489 8448868 This seems to exclude "tubular overflow proteinuria" as the cause of the increased urinary excretion of RBP seen in some patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
2490 8448868 We determined the urinary excretion, expressed as the protein/creatinine ratio (morning urines), of albumin (a marker of glomerular dysfunction) and retinol-binding protein (RBP; a low-molecular-mass protein marker of tubular proteinuria) in 102 non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients.
2491 8448868 The population could be divided into four subgroups: 32 with normal excretion values, 15 with above-normal urinary excretion of RBP, 24 with above-normal urinary excretion of albumin, and 31 patients with above-normal urinary excretion of both proteins.
2492 8448868 This seems to exclude "tubular overflow proteinuria" as the cause of the increased urinary excretion of RBP seen in some patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
2493 8450710 Excretion of urinary epidermal growth factor in non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
2494 8450710 Morning urine samples were assayed for human EGF (hEGF) in 137 non-insulin dependent diabetic patients with normal serum creatinine and beta 2-microglobulin levels.
2495 8450710 A significant positive correlation between hEGF excretion and the level of hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) was present in those patients with a HbA1c value exceeding 8% (r = 0.37; p = 0.003) but not in the overall patients.
2496 8450710 In the patients with HbA1c value below 8%, the mean urinary hEGF level was lower in the patients whose urinary albumin level exceeded 1.7 mg/mmol.creatinine as compared with those whose urinary albumin excretion was below 1.7 mg/mmol.creatinine.
2497 8453825 We examined the plasma protein binding of an acidic drug (warfarin bound to albumin) and a basic drug [lidocaine (lignocaine) bound to alpha 1-acid glycoprotein] in 15 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and 15 matched controls.
2498 8453825 This group had lower concentrations of both albumin and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AAG), achieving statistical significance vs control for albumin only.
2499 8453825 We examined the plasma protein binding of an acidic drug (warfarin bound to albumin) and a basic drug [lidocaine (lignocaine) bound to alpha 1-acid glycoprotein] in 15 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and 15 matched controls.
2500 8453825 This group had lower concentrations of both albumin and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AAG), achieving statistical significance vs control for albumin only.
2501 8463286 Polyanionic molecules (dextran sulfate, fucoidan, polyglutamic acid, polyinosinic acid, heparin) and modified albumins such as formaldehyde-treated or maleylated albumin (Mal-bovine serum albumin) competed with albumin conjugated to colloidal gold particles (A-Au) for the blotting of gp30 and gp18.
2502 8463286 A-Au and Mal-bovine serum albumin bound cultured endothelial cells with high affinity.
2503 8463286 Polyanionic molecules (dextran sulfate, fucoidan, polyglutamic acid, polyinosinic acid, heparin) and modified albumins such as formaldehyde-treated or maleylated albumin (Mal-bovine serum albumin) competed with albumin conjugated to colloidal gold particles (A-Au) for the blotting of gp30 and gp18.
2504 8463286 A-Au and Mal-bovine serum albumin bound cultured endothelial cells with high affinity.
2505 8472356 To test this hypothesis, we studied plasma albumin, total protein, and fructosamine in 63 nondiabetic subjects with normal plasma fasting glucose concentrations and hemoglobin A1c between 5.1% and 5.9%.
2506 8477883 Plasma disappearance of glycated and non-glycated albumin in type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus: evidence for charge dependent alterations of the plasma to lymph pathway.
2507 8477883 The fractional plasma escape rates of glycated and non-glycated albumin have earlier been measured in groups of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients and control subjects.
2508 8477883 Plasma disappearance of glycated and non-glycated albumin in type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus: evidence for charge dependent alterations of the plasma to lymph pathway.

2510 8477884 A model for the involvement of MHC class II proteins in the development of type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus in response to bovine serum albumin peptides.
2511 8481552 The salivary composition and flow rate were examined in 20 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and in 19 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and compared with 20 healthy controls.
2512 8481552 A significant positive correlation was found between the gingival index and the concentrations of total protein, albumin, lysozyme, and lactoferrin in whole resting saliva in the three groups examined.
2513 8495620 Effect of aldose reductase inhibitor (tolrestat) on urinary albumin excretion rate and glomerular filtration rate in IDDM subjects with nephropathy.
2514 8502339 In 86 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus who were negative for proteinuria by a test paper method, the albumin excretion rate was compared to the albumin/creatinine ratio, and a baseline albumin/creatinine ratio value was determined at which therapy to arrest the progression of nephropathy should be initiated.
2515 8504630 Forty-five identical twin pairs, discordant for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, were studied with respect to their serum lipid (high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, total cholesterol and triacyl-glycerol) and apoprotein [apoprotein A-I, apoprotein B and lipoprotein (a)] concentrations and apoprotein (a) phenotypes.
2516 8504630 The differences in lipoproteins we describe for the identical twins discordant for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, in whom there was no evidence of a raised urinary albumin excretion rate, does not appear to explain the excess mortality from cardiovascular disease reported in patients with this disease.
2517 8508616 In all subjects and in patients, FVIII:C was related to urinary albumin excretion and creatinine clearance.
2518 8513980 Leucine kinetics and fractional synthetic rates of albumin, fibrinogen, antithrombin III, and apoB-100 were determined in 6 normal subjects, on two different occasions during either the infusion of saline (control study) or a euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic (0.4 mU.kg-1 x min-1 for 240 min) clamp, by a primed-constant infusion of [1-14C]Leu.
2519 8513980 The insulin infusion significantly decreased the rates of nonoxidative Leu disposal (1.70 +/- 0.10 vs. control 2.06 +/- 0.09 mol.kg-1 x min-1), increased the albumin (7.2 +/- 0.4 vs. 6.2 +/- 0.6%/day), decreased the fibrinogen (18 +/- 1 vs. 23 +/- 2%/day), and antithrombin III (28 +/- 3 vs. 40 +/- 4%/day) fractional synthetic rate, whereas it did not affect the total apoB-100 (49 +/- 5 vs. 52 +/- 6%/day) fractional synthetic rate.
2520 8513980 The positive effect of insulin on albumin synthesis may play an important anabolic role during nutrient absorption by promoting the capture of a relevant amount of dietary essential amino acids into the protein, whereas the negative effect of insulin on fibrinogen synthesis might, at least partially, account for the increased plasma fibrinogen concentrations previously reported in poorly controlled diabetic patients.
2521 8513980 Leucine kinetics and fractional synthetic rates of albumin, fibrinogen, antithrombin III, and apoB-100 were determined in 6 normal subjects, on two different occasions during either the infusion of saline (control study) or a euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic (0.4 mU.kg-1 x min-1 for 240 min) clamp, by a primed-constant infusion of [1-14C]Leu.
2522 8513980 The insulin infusion significantly decreased the rates of nonoxidative Leu disposal (1.70 +/- 0.10 vs. control 2.06 +/- 0.09 mol.kg-1 x min-1), increased the albumin (7.2 +/- 0.4 vs. 6.2 +/- 0.6%/day), decreased the fibrinogen (18 +/- 1 vs. 23 +/- 2%/day), and antithrombin III (28 +/- 3 vs. 40 +/- 4%/day) fractional synthetic rate, whereas it did not affect the total apoB-100 (49 +/- 5 vs. 52 +/- 6%/day) fractional synthetic rate.
2523 8513980 The positive effect of insulin on albumin synthesis may play an important anabolic role during nutrient absorption by promoting the capture of a relevant amount of dietary essential amino acids into the protein, whereas the negative effect of insulin on fibrinogen synthesis might, at least partially, account for the increased plasma fibrinogen concentrations previously reported in poorly controlled diabetic patients.

2525 8513980 The insulin infusion significantly decreased the rates of nonoxidative Leu disposal (1.70 +/- 0.10 vs. control 2.06 +/- 0.09 mol.kg-1 x min-1), increased the albumin (7.2 +/- 0.4 vs. 6.2 +/- 0.6%/day), decreased the fibrinogen (18 +/- 1 vs. 23 +/- 2%/day), and antithrombin III (28 +/- 3 vs. 40 +/- 4%/day) fractional synthetic rate, whereas it did not affect the total apoB-100 (49 +/- 5 vs. 52 +/- 6%/day) fractional synthetic rate.
2526 8513980 The positive effect of insulin on albumin synthesis may play an important anabolic role during nutrient absorption by promoting the capture of a relevant amount of dietary essential amino acids into the protein, whereas the negative effect of insulin on fibrinogen synthesis might, at least partially, account for the increased plasma fibrinogen concentrations previously reported in poorly controlled diabetic patients.
2527 8518458 Persistent microalbuminuria [albumin excretion rate (AER): 30-300 micrograms/min] is predictive of clinical nephropathy in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and cardiovascular mortality in addition to nephropathy in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
2528 8518458 The relative risk for the development of persistent microalbuminuria in diabetic patients with a greater proportion than 3 out of 20 determinations in the microalbuminuric range was 17.4 (95% confidence interval, 3.92-77.2) in those with IDDM and 2.78 (0.99-7.8) in those with non-insulin-dependent diabetes when compared with matched diabetic patients with fewer elevated measurements.
2529 8541002 In insulin-dependent diabetic patients, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition decreases microalbuminuria and retards the progression of renal disease.
2530 8541002 The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of low dose ramipril on albumin excretion rate (AER) and blood pressure in non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients with persistent microalbuminuria (AER > 20 < 200 micrograms/min) and normal blood pressure or mild hypertension.
2531 8542743 Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is normally decreased during puberty and inversely related to insulin resistance.
2532 8542743 Ten diabetic females with, and 15 without microalbuminuria, and 17 healthy controls in pubertal stage 4-5 were compared regarding anthropometric data, fasting serum levels of SHBG, testosterone, insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), lipids and lipoproteins.
2533 8542743 Multiple regression analyses were performed to study variables with independent influences on SHBG and albumin excretion rate (AER), respectively, in Type 1 diabetes.
2534 8542743 IGF-1 was only correlated to SHBG in healthy controls.
2535 8542743 In Type 1 diabetes, applying stepwise multiple regression analysis, insulin dose, BMI, and HbA1c had a significant and independent inverse influence on SHBG (r2 = 0.77, p < 0.001).
2536 8542743 With log AER as the dependent variable, low SHBG, low IGF-1, HbA1c, and age added to the regression (r2 = 0.65, p = 0.004), whereas BMI, insulin dose and blood pressure did not.
2537 8542743 In conclusion, SHBG is decreased in young females with Type 1 diabetes, influenced by increased insulin requirements, BMI and HbA1c.
2538 8544414 Diurnal variation in glomerular charge selectivity, urinary albumin excretion and blood pressure in insulin-dependent diabetic patients.
2539 8544414 The urinary albumin excretion rate (AER) in a subgroup of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) steadily increases.

2547 8544416 Urinary excretion of five low molecular weight proteins (LMWP) [beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m), cystatin C (cyst C), Clara cell protein (CC16), retinol-binding protein (RBP) and alpha 1-microglobulin (alpha 1m)], albumin and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) were quantified in 16 patients who followed a weight reduction program which included Chinese herbs, which have been incriminated in the genesis of Chinese herbs nephropathy (CHN).
2548 8544416 In four of them (CHN1a) only beta 2m, RBP and CC16 were increased while total proteinuria and SCr were normal.
2549 8544416 In the other four (CHN1b and c) albumin, cyst C, alpha 1m and NAG were also elevated, while total proteinuria and SCr were moderately raised.
2550 8544416 Five patients (CHN2) with a S beta 2m > or = 5 mg/liter had a markedly increased excretion of all LMWP, albumin and NAG (CHN1 vs.
2551 8544416 The urinary LMWP/albumin concentration ratio was strikingly higher in CHN patients than in patients with glomerular albuminuria (CHN1 vs.
2552 8544416 Its most sensitive and reliable marker is a raised urinary level of CC16 or RBP.
2553 8544416 Urinary excretion of five low molecular weight proteins (LMWP) [beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m), cystatin C (cyst C), Clara cell protein (CC16), retinol-binding protein (RBP) and alpha 1-microglobulin (alpha 1m)], albumin and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) were quantified in 16 patients who followed a weight reduction program which included Chinese herbs, which have been incriminated in the genesis of Chinese herbs nephropathy (CHN).
2554 8544416 In four of them (CHN1a) only beta 2m, RBP and CC16 were increased while total proteinuria and SCr were normal.
2555 8544416 In the other four (CHN1b and c) albumin, cyst C, alpha 1m and NAG were also elevated, while total proteinuria and SCr were moderately raised.

2811 8840100 When untreated urine samples were stored -20 degrees C for 2 to 4 weeks, the IgG/albumin Index (IgG clearance divided by albumin clearance) was higher in normoalbuminuric IDDM patients than in control subjects (0.91 (0.68-1.54), n = 27 vs 0.72 (0.55-0.79), n = 15 (median (interquartile range)), p < 0.05).
2812 8840100 In normo- and microalbuminuric IDDM patients the IgG/albumin index was higher in urine samples with glucose than without glucose (1.16 (0.93-1.68), n = 11 vs 0.73 (0.50-0.91), n = 16, p < 0.05, and 0.33 (0.23-0.60), n = 17 vs 0.15 (0.10-0.26), n = 14, p < 0.02 for normo- and microalbuminuric patients, respectively).
2813 8840100 These results suggest that glucose in urinary specimens of IDDM patients prevents at least in part the loss of urinary IgG and may thus explain the higher urinary IgG/albumin index when unprocessed urine is stored frozen before assay.
2814 8848991 Studies with beta-blockers, calcium antagonists, diuretics, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in hypertensive diabetics with microalbuminuria have shown a significant reduction in urinary albumin excretion rates (AER), with effective lowering of blood pressure.
2815 8849067 The following determinations were made: total cholesterol, triglycerides, cHDL, cLDL, cVLDL, Apo AI, Apo B, lipoprotein (a), albumin excretion rate (AER), glucose, fructose, glycosylated hemoglobin and creatinine clearance.
2816 8849150 Association of fibrinogen with glycemic control and albumin excretion rate in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
2817 8856260 The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between markers of tubular function, markers of glycaemic control and erythrocyte sodium-lithium countertransport activity (SLC) in 40 normotensive, normoalbuminuric insulin-dependent diabetic (IDDM) subjects and 11 normal control subjects.
2818 8856260 Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the excretion rate of retinol-binding protein (RBP), N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (beta-NAG) and glucose were significantly higher in IDDM subjects compared to control subjects (Mann-Whitney test, p = 0.02, < 0.001, < 0.001 and < 0.001, respectively), whilst the two groups had similar SLC and TmPO4 levels.
2819 8856260 RBP excretion rate was correlated to the excretion rate of beta-NAG (rs 0.38; p = 0.007) and albumin (rs 0.45; p = 0.002); the excretion rates of beta-NAG and albumin were significantly associated (rs 0.37, p = 0.009).
2820 8856260 In this study, beta-NAG and RBP overnight excretion rates were higher in normoalbuminuric IDDM subjects compared to control subjects but no relationship was present between SLC and tubular function in IDDM patients without complications.
2821 8865919 For this reason, after excluding patients who had not had a two-years follow-up, we compared two groups of patients, 8 diabetics and 10 nondiabetics, similar in age (66.0 +/- 8.1 vs 65.0 +/- 8.3 years) and weight (61.8 +/- 11.9 vs 62.1 +/- 5.5 kg), measuring their nutritional parameters [body mass index (BMI), normalized protein catabolic rate (PCRN), albumin, transferrin, cholesterol], dialytic dose (Kt/V), renal residual function (RRF) and peritoneal urea (Kdu) and creatinine clearances (Kdcr) after one and 24 months of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).
2822 8869661 The acute effect of smoking upon arterial blood pressure, urinary albumin excretion rate, glomerular filtration rate and transcapillary escape rate of albumin were investigated in nine normotensive insulin-dependent diabetic patients with microalbuminuria, who had been smoking for 19 (range 4-30) years.
2823 8869661 Our study suggests that heavy smoking induces an abrupt rise in systolic blood pressure and heart rate, while vascular leakage of albumin and glomerular filtration rate remain unaltered in normotensive insulin-dependent diabetic patients with microalbuminuria who had been smoking for several years.
2824 8869661 The acute effect of smoking upon arterial blood pressure, urinary albumin excretion rate, glomerular filtration rate and transcapillary escape rate of albumin were investigated in nine normotensive insulin-dependent diabetic patients with microalbuminuria, who had been smoking for 19 (range 4-30) years.
2825 8869661 Our study suggests that heavy smoking induces an abrupt rise in systolic blood pressure and heart rate, while vascular leakage of albumin and glomerular filtration rate remain unaltered in normotensive insulin-dependent diabetic patients with microalbuminuria who had been smoking for several years.
2826 8876621 Among the prominent biochemical changes that occur in diabetic state, are the enhanced formation of advanced glycosylation end products (AGE) (especially linked to albumin and collagen) and the impaired oxidative-antioxidative balance.
2827 8879346 Effects of calcium antagonism, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition, and angiotensin II-AT1-receptor blockade.
2828 8879346 The aim of this study was to compare the effects of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, angiotensin II (AII) AT1-receptor blockade, and dihydropyridine calcium antagonism on hypertrophy and on vascular albumin permeability in kidney, heart, and mesenteric artery in a model combining genetic hypertension and diabetes mellitus.
2829 8879346 The animals were randomized to receive no treatment, the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor ramipril, the AII AT1-receptor blocker valsartan, or the dihydropyridine calcium antagonist lacidipine for 3 weeks.
2830 8879452 The relation between islet cell specific antibodies, other autoantibodies and antibodies to cow's milk proteins was studied in IDDM and pre-IDDM by analysing islet cell antibodies (ICA), insulin autoantibodies (IAA), anti-nuclear (ANA), anti-reticulin class IgA [ARA(IgA)], smooth muscle, anti-mitochondria, parietal cell (PCA), adrenal and thyroid antibodies and antibodies to cow's milk formula (CMF), beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) in a population based study with more than 650 children with newly diagnosed IDDM and more than 550 initially non-diabetic siblings.
2831 8883039 Monthly urinary albumin excretion, glomerular filtration rate, glomerular volume, renal histology and immunohistochemical reaction for type-I collagen were also studied.
2832 8883039 The results showed progressively higher glomerular immunohistochemical TGF-beta 1 staining in rats with a diabetes duration of 24 and 40 weeks which was correlated with albuminuria (r = 0.905, p < 0.01) and was temporally associated with the appearance of glomerular deposition of total and type-I collagen.
2833 8896994 Excretion of retinal-binding protein, alpha 1-microglobulin and glucose in 24-h urine collections and of RBP and glucose in urinary samples was higher in diabetic than non-diabetic patients regardless of the type of diabetes and insulin-dependence. alpha 1-microglobulin and albumin excretions in urinary samples were significantly influenced by blood glucose control, as attested by the glycosylated haemoglobin level.
2834 8897563 We studied albumin, IgG, and transferrin excretion during exercise in diabetic children without signs of nephropathy to investigate proteinuria under these conditions: 39 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and 21 healthy children undertook a bicycle exercise test.
2835 8905207 Patients with incipient and clinical nephropathy exhibited increasing blood levels of fibrinogen (N0 = 2.47 +/- 0.09, N1 = 2.71 +/- 0.15, N2 = 3.49 +/- 0.24 g/l, p < 0.001), alpha 2-macroglobulin (N0 = 257 +/- 11, N1 = 251 +/- 21, N2 = 382 +/- 43 mg/100 ml, p < 0.01) and haptoglobin (N0 = 174 +/- 16, N1 = 216 +/- 39, N2 = 278 +/- 36 mg/100 ml, p < 0.05), whereas serum albumin concentration decreased (N0 = 5.1 +/- 0.1, N1 = 4.7 +/- 0.1, N2 = 4.1 +/- 0.2 g/100 ml, p < 0.001).
2836 8905207 Erythrocyte aggregation was positively correlated with plasma concentrations of fibrinogen (r = 0.65, p < 0.001) and alpha 2-macroglobulin (r = 0.35, p < 0.05), but negatively with plasma albumin concentration (r = -0.49, p < 0.001).
2837 8905207 Patients with incipient and clinical nephropathy exhibited increasing blood levels of fibrinogen (N0 = 2.47 +/- 0.09, N1 = 2.71 +/- 0.15, N2 = 3.49 +/- 0.24 g/l, p < 0.001), alpha 2-macroglobulin (N0 = 257 +/- 11, N1 = 251 +/- 21, N2 = 382 +/- 43 mg/100 ml, p < 0.01) and haptoglobin (N0 = 174 +/- 16, N1 = 216 +/- 39, N2 = 278 +/- 36 mg/100 ml, p < 0.05), whereas serum albumin concentration decreased (N0 = 5.1 +/- 0.1, N1 = 4.7 +/- 0.1, N2 = 4.1 +/- 0.2 g/100 ml, p < 0.001).
2838 8905207 Erythrocyte aggregation was positively correlated with plasma concentrations of fibrinogen (r = 0.65, p < 0.001) and alpha 2-macroglobulin (r = 0.35, p < 0.05), but negatively with plasma albumin concentration (r = -0.49, p < 0.001).
2839 8905215 Tight metabolic control as assessed by estimation of glycated hemoglobin or albumin seems to be the main prophylactic factor in the prevention of most diabetic complications.
2840 8906979 In IDDM patients with clinical nephropathy, a positive correlation has been demonstrated between the blood pressure and the urinary albumin excretion and reduction of blood pressure reduces albuminuria as well as the rate of decline in glomerular filtration rate.
2841 8906979 It was demonstrated that in IDDM patients with elevated urinary albumin excretion above normal level the prevalence of hypertension is 60%, whereas in patients without signs of renal impairment hypertension is not more prevalent as in the age and sex-matched background population (about 4% in both groups).
2842 8906979 In contrast to the hypertensive patients with nephropathy, a normal transcapillary escape rate of albumin and normal plasma levels of von Willebrand factor, of angiotensin-converting-enzyme and of inactive renin were demonstrated in the former group of patients.
2843 8906979 In IDDM patients with clinical nephropathy, a positive correlation has been demonstrated between the blood pressure and the urinary albumin excretion and reduction of blood pressure reduces albuminuria as well as the rate of decline in glomerular filtration rate.
2844 8906979 It was demonstrated that in IDDM patients with elevated urinary albumin excretion above normal level the prevalence of hypertension is 60%, whereas in patients without signs of renal impairment hypertension is not more prevalent as in the age and sex-matched background population (about 4% in both groups).
2845 8906979 In contrast to the hypertensive patients with nephropathy, a normal transcapillary escape rate of albumin and normal plasma levels of von Willebrand factor, of angiotensin-converting-enzyme and of inactive renin were demonstrated in the former group of patients.
2846 8906979 In IDDM patients with clinical nephropathy, a positive correlation has been demonstrated between the blood pressure and the urinary albumin excretion and reduction of blood pressure reduces albuminuria as well as the rate of decline in glomerular filtration rate.
2847 8906979 It was demonstrated that in IDDM patients with elevated urinary albumin excretion above normal level the prevalence of hypertension is 60%, whereas in patients without signs of renal impairment hypertension is not more prevalent as in the age and sex-matched background population (about 4% in both groups).
2848 8906979 In contrast to the hypertensive patients with nephropathy, a normal transcapillary escape rate of albumin and normal plasma levels of von Willebrand factor, of angiotensin-converting-enzyme and of inactive renin were demonstrated in the former group of patients.
2849 8907298 Chronic inflammation is a part of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, and presently we have studied the relation between the inflammatory state, measured as levels of interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein and fibrinogen in diabetic nephropathy.
2850 8907298 Thirty-three insulin-dependent diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy (urinary albumin excretion rate (AER) > 300 mg/24-h) and 22 patients with incipient diabetic nephropathy (AER 30-300 mg/24-h) were compared with 14 non-diabetic controls and 17 diabetic patients with normal AER (<30 mg/24-h).
2851 8907298 Interleukin-6 was significantly elevated in all insulin-dependent diabetic patients (diabetic nephropathy (3.2 (1.0-14.5) pg/ml, p < 0.005), incipient nephropathy (3.7 (1.0-22.9) pg/ml, p < 0.005) and diabetic patients with normal AER (2.7 (1.0-9.0) pg/ml, p < 0.05) compared with nondiabetic controls (1.2 (1.0-6.2) pg/ml)).
2852 8907298 When fibrinogen was adjusted for interleukin-6, C-reactive protein or both, the level of fibrinogen was still higher in patients with diabetic nephropathy than in patients without nephropathy (p < 0.05), which suggests that inflammation is not the only mechanism that increases fibrinogen levels in patients with diabetic nephropathy.
2853 8914037 An increased activity of the Na+/H+ antiporter in cells from patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) has been proposed as a potential marker of nephropathy.
2854 8914037 We evaluated Na+/H+ antiporter activity and its relationship to DNA and protein synthesis in cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with IDDM classified as having either overt nephropathy or absence of nephropathy on the basis of urinary albumin excretion and kidney biopsy findings.
2855 8916594 The levels of serum albumin, alpha-1 acid glycoprotein, alpha-1 antitrypsin and caeruloplasmin were not significantly different between the patients with retinopathy and controls.
2856 8922358 GFR, urinary albumin excretion rate (AER), blood pressure, and glycated hemoglobin were measured at baseline and at 5, 8, and 10 years.
2857 8922540 In non-insulin dependent diabetic subjects with albuminuria (DM-A), however, urinary %G-albumin and ABBC positively correlated with serum %G-albumin, and the urine/serum ratio of %G-albumin was low and gradually increased toward 1 as serum %G-albumin increased.
2858 8929257 In order to examine whether such association could be explained by impaired insulin sensitivity, 23 clinically healthy subjects with microalbuminuria (urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) of 6.6 to 150 micrograms/min) and 24 age- and sex-matched controls with normoalbuminuria (UAER < or = 6.6 micrograms/min) underwent a 3 h hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp investigation using an intravenous insulin infusion rate on 2 mU/(kg body weight x min).
2859 8929257 Among urinary albumin excretion rate, blood pressure, serum lipid concentrations, body mass index waist-hip ratio, fasting concentrations of serum insulin and blood glucose, tobacco and alcohol consumption, physical activity, and age and sex, fasting serum insulin concentration was the only variable independently associated with insulin sensitivity (r = -0.55; P = 0.0001).
2860 8929257 In order to examine whether such association could be explained by impaired insulin sensitivity, 23 clinically healthy subjects with microalbuminuria (urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) of 6.6 to 150 micrograms/min) and 24 age- and sex-matched controls with normoalbuminuria (UAER < or = 6.6 micrograms/min) underwent a 3 h hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp investigation using an intravenous insulin infusion rate on 2 mU/(kg body weight x min).
2861 8929257 Among urinary albumin excretion rate, blood pressure, serum lipid concentrations, body mass index waist-hip ratio, fasting concentrations of serum insulin and blood glucose, tobacco and alcohol consumption, physical activity, and age and sex, fasting serum insulin concentration was the only variable independently associated with insulin sensitivity (r = -0.55; P = 0.0001).
2862 8934703 Postmortem diagnosis of diabetic metabolic derangement: elevated alpha 1-antitrypsin and haptoglobin glycosylation levels as an index of antemortem hyperglycemia.
2863 8934703 In the search for other, more reliable, indices of immediately antemortem blood glucose levels, we investigated the value of glycosylation levels of serum proteins with very brief biologic half-lives: a) In vitro studies were performed on the glycosylation course of the short-lived serum proteins alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1-AT) and haptoglobin (HP). b) Glycosylation levels were measured after purification of alpha 1-AT and HP from sera of living and deceased non-diabetics and diabetics. c) The resistance of alpha 1-AT and HP glycosylation levels to autolysis was investigated.
2864 8934703 Our studies revealed the following: 1) alpha 1-AT and HP glycosylate considerably more rapidly than either albumin or hemoglobin.
2865 8945014 There was no significant difference in hematocrit, serum intact parathyroid hormone, total calcium, inorganic phosphorus, albumin, heart rate, cardiac index, or interdialysis weight gain between these two groups.
2866 8949738 Three phenomena are involved in the development of nephropathy in non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients: glomerular hyperfiltration, elevation of urinary albumin excretion and high blood pressure, the latter sometimes being present before the discovery of diabetes.
2867 8949738 Some data indicate that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors can reduce the amount of proteinuria and slow the progression of diabetic nephropathy in insulin-dependent diabetic patients, but data remain controversial in non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients.
2868 8957048 Demographic characteristics such as age, race, gender, diabetic status, and prior months on dialysis, as well as biochemical parameters including albumin, creatinine, cholesterol, intact PTH, calcium, and phosphorus levels at enrollment were evaluated for their effect on patient survival.
2869 8957048 PTH level correlated with serum creatinine and serum albumin in HD but only with serum creatinine in PD, supporting the inference that patients with high enrollment PTH were better nourished than those with lower PTH.
2870 8957048 Demographic characteristics such as age, race, gender, diabetic status, and prior months on dialysis, as well as biochemical parameters including albumin, creatinine, cholesterol, intact PTH, calcium, and phosphorus levels at enrollment were evaluated for their effect on patient survival.
2871 8957048 PTH level correlated with serum creatinine and serum albumin in HD but only with serum creatinine in PD, supporting the inference that patients with high enrollment PTH were better nourished than those with lower PTH.
2872 8957050 The serum prealbumin level correlated significantly with other measures of nutrition, including serum albumin, serum creatinine, and serum cholesterol, in both HD and PD patients.
2873 8960840 In an univariate analysis of baseline data, deceased patients, and especially those who died from macrovascular causes had significantly higher fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, von Willebrand-factor protein, urine albumin excretion, and serum beta 2-microglobulin, were significantly older, exhibited significantly more ischaemic heart disease (abnormal ECG Minnesota codes), carotid artery and peripheral vascular disease (both determined by ultrasound-Doppler), and had significantly inferior knowledge about diabetes and its treatment.
2874 8960847 The following variables were measured: transcapillary escape rate of albumin (initial disappearance of intravenously injected 125I-labelled human serum albumin), plasma concentrations of prorenin (radioimmunoassay) and serum concentrations of von Willebrand factor (enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay).
2875 8960847 Our study demonstrated that NIDDM patients with and without albuminuria had increased transcapillary escape of albumin and raised prorenin activity, whereas only those with albuminuria had increased von Willebrand factor.
2876 8960847 The following variables were measured: transcapillary escape rate of albumin (initial disappearance of intravenously injected 125I-labelled human serum albumin), plasma concentrations of prorenin (radioimmunoassay) and serum concentrations of von Willebrand factor (enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay).
2877 8960847 Our study demonstrated that NIDDM patients with and without albuminuria had increased transcapillary escape of albumin and raised prorenin activity, whereas only those with albuminuria had increased von Willebrand factor.
2878 8971088 Diabetes also 1) increased vascular albumin permeation twofold in retina, sciatic nerve, aorta, skin, and kidney; 2) decreased renal collagenase-soluble collagen; 3) increased collagen-associated fluorescence in kidney and skin but not in aorta; and 4) increased glycated hemoglobin levels and aortic pentosidine levels.
2879 8971088 Aminoguanidine reduced albuminuria by 70% after 4 months, and both guanidines 1) normalized aortic pentosidine levels and renal collagenase-soluble collagen, 2) had no effect on glycated hemoglobin levels or collagen-associated fluorescence (in aorta, kidney, or skin), and 3) had little or no effect on regional albumin permeation.
2880 8971088 Diabetes also 1) increased vascular albumin permeation twofold in retina, sciatic nerve, aorta, skin, and kidney; 2) decreased renal collagenase-soluble collagen; 3) increased collagen-associated fluorescence in kidney and skin but not in aorta; and 4) increased glycated hemoglobin levels and aortic pentosidine levels.
2881 8971088 Aminoguanidine reduced albuminuria by 70% after 4 months, and both guanidines 1) normalized aortic pentosidine levels and renal collagenase-soluble collagen, 2) had no effect on glycated hemoglobin levels or collagen-associated fluorescence (in aorta, kidney, or skin), and 3) had little or no effect on regional albumin permeation.
2882 8971575 In the present study, we have investigated the effect of iloprost, a prostacyclin analog, on several activities modified by diabetic erythrocyte-endothelium interaction: 1) generation of oxidant stress based on production of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS: control: 2.37 +/- 0.32 versus iloprost: 1.39 +/- 0.005 mumol/10(11) cells), 2) alteration of the endothelial barrier function as measured by an increase permeability to 125I-albumin (control: 13.31 +/- 0.85 versus iloprost: 9.45 +/- 0.7 10(-7) cm/s) of the endothelial cell monolayer, 3) modification of the endothelial cell function showed by an increase in interleukin-6 release (control: 21.66 +/- 3.11 versus iloprost 15.45 +/- 0.76 ng/10(6) cells).
2883 8971575 The increase in permeability to albumin as well ass TBARS production and interleukin-6 release were inhibited by iloprost (10(-8)-10(-6) mol/l) treatment in a dose-dependent fashion.
2884 8971575 In the present study, we have investigated the effect of iloprost, a prostacyclin analog, on several activities modified by diabetic erythrocyte-endothelium interaction: 1) generation of oxidant stress based on production of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS: control: 2.37 +/- 0.32 versus iloprost: 1.39 +/- 0.005 mumol/10(11) cells), 2) alteration of the endothelial barrier function as measured by an increase permeability to 125I-albumin (control: 13.31 +/- 0.85 versus iloprost: 9.45 +/- 0.7 10(-7) cm/s) of the endothelial cell monolayer, 3) modification of the endothelial cell function showed by an increase in interleukin-6 release (control: 21.66 +/- 3.11 versus iloprost 15.45 +/- 0.76 ng/10(6) cells).

2886 8972244 Nonchronotropic calcium antagonists have been shown to be as effective as ACE inhibitors with regard to their effects on blood pressure, renal haemodynamics and urinary albumin excretion.
2887 8982738 In diabetic patients uGH excretion was related to beta 2-microglobulin excretion (r = 0.308; p = 0.005) and to urinary albumin excretion (r = 0.230; p = 0.02) but it was independent of HbA1c and overnight glycemic values.
2888 8982738 The coefficient of variation of uGH was not related to HbA1c, the duration of diabetes, the coefficient of variation of urinary albumin excretion and the coefficient of variation of beta 2-microglobulin excretion.
2889 8982738 In diabetic patients uGH excretion was related to beta 2-microglobulin excretion (r = 0.308; p = 0.005) and to urinary albumin excretion (r = 0.230; p = 0.02) but it was independent of HbA1c and overnight glycemic values.
2890 8982738 The coefficient of variation of uGH was not related to HbA1c, the duration of diabetes, the coefficient of variation of urinary albumin excretion and the coefficient of variation of beta 2-microglobulin excretion.
2891 8995725 Recent studies suggest that the ACE I/D polymorphism may influence the risk of developing nephropathy in patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), although the mechanism responsible for the effect is unknown.
2892 8995725 ERPF was also significantly greater in patients homozygous for the I allele (850 +/- 103 ml/min/1.73 m2) compared to patients homozygous for the D allele (672 +/- 31 ml/min/1.73 m2, P < 0.04), while there were no differences in the values for mean arterial pressure, glycosylated hemoglobin, or albumin excretion rates amongst the groups.
2893 9005384 In the present study the effect of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor captopril was studied in normotensive diabetic children and adolescents with persistent microalbuminuria (repeated albumin excretion rate higher than 30 mg/24 h).
2894 9022953 In vivo studies have shown that insulin enhances short-side-chain amino acid intracellular uptake, stimulates transcription and translation of RNA, increases the gene expression of albumin and other proteins and inhibits liver protein breakdown enzymes.
2895 9022953 In IDDM patients most of the whole-body protein turnover studies have shown that insulin deficiency increases protein breakdown and increases amino acid oxidation and that these effects are reversed by insulin treatment.
2896 9022953 Recent studies have demonstrated that a substantial increase in leucine transamination during insulin deprivation contributes to leucine catabolism in IDDM patients.
2897 9022953 In addition, insulin has a differential effect on hepatic protein synthesis, i.e. inhibits fibrinogen synthesis and promotes albumin synthesis.
2898 9022953 Insulin's anticatabolic effect in IDDM patients is largely due to its inhibition of protein breakdown.
2899 9022953 In vivo studies have shown that insulin enhances short-side-chain amino acid intracellular uptake, stimulates transcription and translation of RNA, increases the gene expression of albumin and other proteins and inhibits liver protein breakdown enzymes.
2900 9022953 In IDDM patients most of the whole-body protein turnover studies have shown that insulin deficiency increases protein breakdown and increases amino acid oxidation and that these effects are reversed by insulin treatment.

2903 9022953 Insulin's anticatabolic effect in IDDM patients is largely due to its inhibition of protein breakdown.
2904 9025713 To evaluate the relationship between autonomic neuropathy (AN) and nephropathy we measured 24-h blood pressure (BP) and overnight urinary albumin excretion (UAE) in 38 patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
2905 9033268 We have examined the immunolocalization of AGEs and AGE-R components R1 and R2 in the retinal vasculature at 2, 4, and 8 months after STZ-induced diabetes as well as in nondiabetic rats infused with AGE bovine serum albumin for 2 weeks.
2906 9033268 Using polyclonal or monoclonal anti-AGE antibodies and polyclonal antibodies to recombinant AGE-R1 and AGE-R2, immunoreactivity (IR) was examined in the complete retinal vascular tree after isolation by trypsin digestion.
2907 9040425 Normalization of blood pressure--and use of an ACE inhibitor or AT1-receptor blocker for patients with abnormal albumin or creatinine levels--can prevent or significantly slow the rate of progression toward end-stage renal disease.
2908 9047092 Genetic variation of a collagen IV alpha 1-chain gene polymorphism in Danish insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients: lack of association to nephropathy and proliferative retinopathy.
2909 9047092 In insulin-dependent (Type 1) diabetes mellitus (IDDM) the development of nephropathy is partly due to genetic susceptibility.
2910 9047092 Previously one study has demonstrated a relationship between a HindIII restriction polymorphism of the collagen IV alpha 1-chain gene and diabetic nephropathy.
2911 9047092 The aim of the present study was to evaluate such as association in a case-control study including 207 Danish IDDM patients: 116 with nephropathy (urinary albumin excretion rate (AER) > 300 mg 24 h-1) and 91 without nephropathy (AER < 30 mg 24 h-1).
2912 9047092 Using genomic DNA, HindIII restriction fragment length analysis revealed a bi allele polymorphism visualized by southern hybridization with a cDNA probe recognizing the collagen IV alpha 1-chain gene.
2913 9047092 We conclude that in a Danish IDDM population a HindIII restriction polymorphism of the collagen IV alpha 1-chain gene is not associated with diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy or with diabetes per se.
2914 9056684 Control rats (no additional treatment but insulin) showed increased blood pressure and urinary albumin levels, together with prominent alterations in the kidney (renal and glomerular hypertrophies, tubular atrophy, and 19% of sclerotic glomeruli).
2915 9069567 Urinary albumin excretion rate is related to insulin resistance in normotensive subjects with impaired glucose tolerance.
2916 9069567 Therefore, the present study investigated the relationship between urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) and the degree of insulin resistance in Japanese subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).
2917 9069567 Urinary albumin excretion rate is related to insulin resistance in normotensive subjects with impaired glucose tolerance.

2919 9069569 AN was associated with retinopathy in both IDDM (chi2 = 10, P < 0.03) and NIDDM patients (chi2 = 14, P < 0.007), while only in IDDM albumin excretion was significantly higher in patients with AN.
2920 9069587 The mean glycosylated hemoglobin for patients treated with insulin was 12.0 +/- 0.15% versus 11.4 +/- 0.14% (p < .03) for OHA.
2921 9069587 Categorical increases in urinary albumin excretion were associated positively within insulin versus OHA therapy (p < .0001).
2922 9069587 In protocols correcting for diabetes duration, glycosylated hemoglobin, and gender in a multivariate model, the use of insulin still was related significantly to increases in urinary albumin excretion (p < .01), retinopathy (p < .0001), and neuropathy (p < .0008).
2923 9069587 In summary, the NIDDM patients treated with insulin had more nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy than did NIDDM patients treated with OHA, independent of duration of diabetes, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, age, and blood pressure level.
2924 9069587 The mean glycosylated hemoglobin for patients treated with insulin was 12.0 +/- 0.15% versus 11.4 +/- 0.14% (p < .03) for OHA.

2928 9073547 Activation of CD8+ T lymphocytes in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
2929 9073547 Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease directed against the insulin-secreting beta cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas.
2930 9073547 We have previously shown that in organ-specific autoimmune diseases, Graves' disease (GD), and IDDM, the antigen that is specific for each of these disorders (i.e., TSH receptor for GD, glutamic acid decarboxylase-65 (GAD65) for IDDM) does not activate the disease-specific CD8+ cells as fully as CD8+ cells from normal persons.
2931 9073547 In order to identify the specific antigen responsible for triggering or maintaining autoimmunity in patients afflicted with the disease, we have studied the effects of islet (beta) cell-specific antigens GAD65, insulin, pancreatic antigen (P69), T cell epitope 69 (Tep69), and a milk-derived bovine serum albumin (BSA)-peptide-ABBOS (pre-BSA positions 157-169) on the activation of CD8+ T lymphocytes in IDDM patients.
2932 9073547 We compared the patterns of T cells activation with those mediated by an irrelevant peptide antigen, P348 (amino-terminal region of human cardiac myosin light chain-1), and also tetanus toxoid.
2933 9073547 We also studied the responses of CD8+ T lymphocytes to these IDDM-relevant and -irrelevant antigens in Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients (HT), rheumatoid arthritis patients (RA), and normal control subjects (N) to compare the pattern of responses in the other autoimmune diseases.
2934 9073547 When the response of CD8+ T lymphocytes of IDDM patients to each of the IDDM-relevant antigens was compared to that of the irrelevant antigen, only GAD65 and ABBOS showed a significantly reduced activation compared to P348 and tetanus toxoid.
2935 9073547 Moreover, CD8+ T lymphocytes of IDDM patients showed a significantly lower activation by GAD65 than those from N, HT, and RA.
2936 9073547 In conclusion, our data suggest that CD8+ T lymphocytes of IDDM patients but not those from N, HT, and RA groups have specifically reduced potential for activation in response to GAD65 but not to insulin, P69, and Tep69, whereas ABBOS exerts a less well-defined reductive effect on the activation of CD8+ lymphocytes of IDDM patients.
2937 9073547 Since CD8+ cells have been shown to contain suppressor activity, our data support the notion that a disease-specific defect in GAD65 autoantigenic induction of suppressor T lymphocytes may be important in the pathogenesis of IDDM.
2938 9075794 In protected mice, ICA69 T-cell reactivity was not detectable spontaneously nor after priming with this autoantigen; however, priming with the cross-reactive non-self-antigen bovine serum albumin recruited T-cells responsive to ICA69.
2939 9075804 To test whether the binding of insulin to an endogenous serum protein can be used to extend the time action of insulin, human insulin was acylated at the epsilon-amino group of Lys(B29) with palmitic acid to promote binding to serum albumin.
2940 9075804 Size-exclusion chromatography was used to demonstrate specific binding of the resulting analog, [N(epsilon)-palmitoyl Lys(B29)] human insulin, to serum albumin in vitro, and the time action and activity of the analog were determined in vivo using overnight-fasted, insulin-withdrawn diabetic dogs.
2941 9075804 To test whether the binding of insulin to an endogenous serum protein can be used to extend the time action of insulin, human insulin was acylated at the epsilon-amino group of Lys(B29) with palmitic acid to promote binding to serum albumin.

2943 9113482 To assess whether these factors may have an aetiological and synergistic role in the vascular complications of diabetes, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring was performed in insulin-dependent diabetic (IDDM) patients with normal albumin excretion (n = 19) and microalbuminuria (n = 21) of comparable age and duration of diabetes, and with no evidence of autonomic neuropathy or hypertension.
2944 9114827 Total lymphocyte count and hemoglobin, hematocrit, and albumin values were significantly lower in diabetics than in nondiabetics.
2945 9132645 Urinary albumin excretion rate during angiotensin II infusion in microalbuminuric patients with insulin and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
2946 9132645 As angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition is accompanied by a marked decrease in glomerular protein loss, the hypothesis was tested that an increase of the glomerular transcapillary hydraulic pressure difference by exogenous angiotensin II would increase microalbuminuria in patients with insulin (IDDM) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
2947 9132645 Acute effects of increasing doses of angiotensin II (1, 3 and 6 ng/kg/min) were studied on mean arterial pressure (MAP), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), effective renal plasma flow (ERPF), filtration fraction (FF), total renal vascular resistance (TRVR), and urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) in 11 IDDM and 11 NIDDM microalbuminuric patients.
2948 9132645 We suggest that during manipulation of the renin-angiotensin system, as in other renal diseases with proteinuria, factors other than glomerular transcapillary hydraulic pressure determine the degree of urinary albumin loss in microalbuminuric IDDM and NIDDM patients.

2958 9133557 Effect of insulin on systemic and renal handling of albumin in nondiabetic and NIDDM subjects.
2959 9133557 To test the hypothesis that insulin influences protein permeability, we measured the albumin transcapillary escape rate (TER) by the (131)I-labeled albumin technique in 12 healthy volunteers and 12 normoalbuminuric NIDDM patients (fasting plasma glucose, 10.9 +/- 1.3 mmol/l) during 4 h of isoglycemia with high (1.1 mU x min(-1) x kg(-1)) or, on a different day, low (0.1 mU x min(-1) x kg(-1)) insulin infusion.
2960 9133557 Basal albumin TER was similar in patients (8.4 +/- 0.5% x h(-1)) and control subjects (7.7 +/- 0.7% x h(-1)) and was not significantly changed by high insulin in either group (patients vs. control subjects, 7.3 +/- 0.9 vs. 6.2 +/- 0.4% x h(-1); NS vs. low insulin).
2961 9133557 In contrast, high insulin increased renal albumin excretion (from 3.6 +/- 0.8 to 5.4 +/- 1.1 microg/min, P < 0.01) and clearance rate (0.09 +/- 0.02 to 0.13 +/- 0.03 microl/min, P < 0.001) in patients but not in control subjects.

3037 9187410 Albuminuria is directly associated with increased plasma PAI-1 and factor VII levels in NIDDM patients.
3038 9187410 Increased plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1), coagulation factor VII (FVII) and fibrinogen levels have been recognized as risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
3039 9187410 Because a substantially high incidence of cardiovascular disease has been reported in diabetic patients with nephropathy compared with those without nephropathy, we measured plasma levels of PAI-1, FVII activity and fibrinogen in non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients (NIDDM) with normoalbuminuria (without nephropathy), microalbuminuria (incipient nephropathy) and macroalbuminuria (overt nephropathy).
3040 9187410 Univariate regression analysis indicated that PAI-1 and FVII levels were significantly correlated with the albumin excretion rate (AER) in urine.
3041 9187410 PAI-1, FVII and fibrinogen levels were significantly correlated with the degree of insulin resistance estimated by the steady state plasma glucose concentration (SSPG) during the continuous infusion of glucose, insulin and octreotide.
3042 9187410 These results suggest that elevated plasma levels of PAI-1 and FVII in NIDDM patients with nephropathy are directly associated with renal damage, whereas insulin resistance widely regulates hemostatic components in NIDDM patients, irrespective of the presence of nephropathy.

3110 9247754 Preliminary results from the Melbourne Diabetic Nephropathy Study Group suggest that the ACE inhibitor, perindopril, is more effective than the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, nifedipine, in retarding the rise in urinary albumin excretion in normotensive insulin and noninsulin dependent diabetic patients with microalbuminuria.
3111 9261854 Demographic information was obtained, and nutritional status was assessed by ideal body weight, arm muscle area, arm fat area, pancreatic sufficiency, insulin-requiring diabetes, vitamins A and E levels, albumin, iron, iron binding capacity, ferritin, cholesterol, and zinc levels.

3115 9274838 The plasma renin concentration [28 +/- 15 vs. 16 +/- 6 microU/ml(168 +/- 90 vs. 96 +/- 36 pmol/l), p = 0.013] and angiotensin II [8.8 +/- 4.4 vs. 6.4 +/- 3.5 pg/ml (0.052 +/- 0.025 vs. 0.038 +/- 0.021 nmol/l), p = 0.016] were significantly lower with the high salt diet.
3116 9274838 In this subset of normotensive normoalbuminuric IDDM patients, a high salt intake did not promote an exaggerated renal response to the protein load despite inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system.

3135 9300227 We aimed to determine the natural history of borderline increases in albuminuria in adolescents with insulin-dependent (Type 1) diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and factors which are associated with progression to persistent microalbuminura.
3136 9300227 Fifty-five normotensive adolescents with IDDM and intermittent microalbuminura (overnight albumin excretion ratte of 20-200 micrograms min-1 on one of three consecutive timed collections, n = 29) or borderline albuminura (mean overnight albumin excretion rate of 7.2-20 micrograms min-1 on one of three consecutive timed collections, n = 30) were followed prospectively at 3 monthly intervals.
3137 9311257 This is useful for distinguishing insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) from non-autoimmune diabetes and for predicting the prognosis in IDDM. 2) Examinations for assessment of glycemic control: New methods of assessing glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus (glycated albumin, 1,5-anhydroglucitol) have been developed.
3138 9313748 Islet cell antigen p69 (ICA69) is a target autoantigen in IDDM.
3139 9313748 Studies of T-cells from newly diabetic children suggested possible antigenic mimicry between human ICA69 (in particular the Tep69 T-cell epitope, aa 36-47) and the ABBOS region in bovine serum albumin (BSA; aa 152-169), one of several cow's milk proteins that evoke abnormal immunity in diabetes-prone hosts.
3140 9313758 We explored the relative roles of the suppression of angiotensin II and the prevention of bradykinin degradation in mediating the renoprotective effects of ACE inhibitors in experimental diabetic nephropathy.
3141 9313758 Over a 24-week period, we studied male Sprague-Dawley diabetic and control rats and Sprague-Dawley diabetic rats treated with the ACE inhibitor ramipril, the angiotensin II-AT1 receptor antagonist valsartan, the bradykinin-B2 receptor antagonist HOE 140 (icatibant), and a combination of ramipril and icatibant.
3142 9313758 Serial measurements of urinary albumin excretion, blood pressure, and glycated hemoglobin were performed monthly.
3143 9313758 Both ACE inhibition and angiotensin II receptor antagonism attenuated the glomerular ultrastructural changes to a similar degree.
3144 9313758 ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II-AT1 receptor blockers appear to confer similar benefits in experimental diabetic nephropathy, and bradykinin-B2 receptor blockers do not influence this effect.
3145 9313758 These findings suggest that the blockade of angiotensin II is the major pathway responsible for renoprotection afforded by ACE inhibition in experimental diabetic nephropathy.
3146 9324678 Cholesterol, triglicerides, HDL and LDH1 cholesterole, apolipoprotein A1 and B, endogenous creatinine urinary protein and albumin excretion, beta-2-microglobulin were measured.

3151 9342018 However, the concentrations of ALB, ALT, AST, AST/ALT, and prothrombin time were substantially different among the four groups.
3152 9342504 In order to generate basal insulin levels, peakless long-acting formulations have been developed, including: a soluble formulation (which upon subcutaneous administration, produces a 'depot-like' sustained release mechanism), albumin-bound insulin and cobalt-insulin hexamer formulations.

3170 9356016 To examine the significance of cow's milk protein in IDDM, 120 NOD mice were maintained, starting from conception until sacrifice, on one of four diets: standard PMI Picolab Rodent Diet 20, a milk-free modification of the standard Picolab diet, a milk-free diet incorporating 0.036% bovine serum albumin (BSA), and a milk-free diet including 0.036% bovine IgG (BGG).
3171 9356039 Immunohistochemical quantification of heparan sulfate proteoglycan and collagen IV in skeletal muscle capillary basement membranes of patients with diabetic nephropathy.
3172 9356039 In the present study, we used immunohistochemical staining to quantify heparan sulfate (HS), HSPG core protein, and collagen IV in capillary basement membranes of skeletal muscle biopsies taken from 9 healthy control subjects (C) and 20 IDDM patients: 7 with normal albumin excretion rate (<30 mg/24 h) (D0), 5 with incipient nephropathy (albumin excretion rate 30-300 mg/24 h) (D1), and 8 with clinical nephropathy (albumin excretion rate >300 mg/24 h) (D2).
3173 9356039 Similarly, an overall significant difference in the absorbance of collagen IV was demonstrated (means +/- SD): 0.836 +/- 0.111 (C), 0.838 +/- 0.300 (D0), 0.970 +/- 0.173 (D1), and 0.512 +/- 0.248 (D2) (P = 0.02).
3174 9356039 Because, in IDDM patients with albuminuria, alterations of the content of HS and collagen IV within the capillary BM have been demonstrated immunohistochemically, not only in the glomerular filtration barrier, but also in the skeletal muscle capillary BM, we suggest that these changes reflect universal quantitative or qualitative alterations within the capillary filtration barrier.
3175 9356040 These effects could be exerted via an AGE-receptor-mediated upregulation of growth factors, such as the IGFs and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta).
3176 9356040 We tested this hypothesis in human and rat mesangial cells grown on nonglycated or native bovine serum albumin (BSA), glycated BSA with AGE formation (BSA-AGE), or glycated BSA in which AGE formation was prevented by the use of aminoguanidine (BSA-AM), in the presence or absence of an antibody, alpha-p60, directed against the p60/OST protein named AGE-receptor 1 (AGE-R1), or normal control (pre-immune) serum.
3177 9356040 The mRNA and/or protein levels of IGF-I, IGF-II, IGF receptors, IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), TGF-beta1 and the ECM components fibronectin, laminin, and collagen IV were measured, together with cell proliferation.
3178 9356040 Both human and rat mesangial cells grown on BSA-AGE showed increased IGF-I and total and bioactive TGF-beta medium levels and enhanced IGF-I, IGF-II, and TGF-beta1 gene expression, compared with cells grown on BSA, whereas total IGFBP and IGFBP-3 medium content, IGF receptor density and affinity, and IGF-I receptor transcripts were unchanged.
3179 9356040 Co-incubation of BSA-AGE with anti-AGE-R1, but not with pre-immune serum, prevented AGE-induced increases in IGF-I, TGF-beta1, and ECM production or gene expression; anti-AGE-R1 also reduced growth factor and matrix synthesis in cells grown on BSA.
3180 9356040 These results demonstrate that mesangial IGF and TGF-beta1 synthesis is upregulated by AGE-modified proteins through an AGE-receptor-mediated mechanism.
3181 9364355 Albumin excretion rate, serum insulin-like growth factor-I and glomerular filtration rate in type I diabetes mellitus at puberty.
3182 9364355 The albumin excretion rate (AER), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) levels, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were studied in 49 diabetic children and 49 controls.
3183 9364355 We concluded that the prominent change in GH release at puberty, reflected by IGF-I, is in pulse amplitude, and that this is increased in diabetes but it is not a very important factor when determining the abnormal levels of urinary albumin excretion.

3190 9367005 Results of immunochemically determined marker proteins ([micro]albumin, transferrin, beta 2-microglobulin) are unreliable due to digestion by pancreatic enzymes.
3191 9380770 Compared to HCTZ or vehicle-treated rats, STZ-diabetic rats receiving either captopril or insulin exhibited decreased excretion of total protein, low-molecular-weight protein, and albumin, as well as amelioration of renal pathology.
3192 9387403 In this study, we investigated the effect of captopril (CPT) on glomerular filtration rate (GFR), effective renal plasma flow (ERPF), filtration fraction (FF), urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and daily urinary excretion of thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 6-keto- prostaglandin F1a (6-keto-PGF1a) in 29 normotensive non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM) patients without clinically discernible nephropathy.
3193 9389420 Serum sialic acid was confirmed as a marker of the acute-phase response since serum concentrations were significantly related to established acute-phase proteins such as alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (r = 0.82, p < 0.0001).
3194 9389420 There was a significant graded increase of serum sialic acid, alpha-1 acid glycoprotein, IL-6 and urinary albumin excretion rate amongst the three groups, with the lowest levels in non-diabetic subjects, intermediate levels in NIDDM patients without syndrome X and highest levels in NIDDM patients with syndrome X.
3195 9389420 C-reactive protein and cortisol levels were also higher in syndrome X-positive compared to X-negative patients and serum amyloid A was higher in both diabetic groups than in the control group.
3196 9402095 Using multiple linear regression, variables of rhEPO administration (rhEPO dose and percentage of treatments that rhEPO was administered), variables of iron status (serum iron, transferrin saturation, and ferritin), variables of nutritional status (serum albumin and creatinine concentration), and the dose of dialysis (urea reduction ratio) were found to be significantly associated with hemoglobin concentration (P < 0.001).
3197 9405980 The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of captopril on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) of normoalbuminuric normotensive insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients with and without glomerular hyperfiltration.
3198 9407413 Recent studies have further elucidated the association between blood pressure and albumin excretion in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients with (i) normal urinary albumin excretion (UAE), and (ii) moderate microalbuminuria (20 to 70 micrograms/min).
3199 9407413 In conclusion, interactions between albumin excretion, blood pressure, autonomic function, and glycemic status are already detectable within the normoalbuminuric range in IDDM patients.
3200 9407413 Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) treatment in a small group of normotensive IDDM patients with moderate microalbuminuria reduces blood pressure without attenuating diurnal blood pressure variation, tends to reduce albumin excretion, and abolishes the association between changes in UAE and changes in blood pressure observed in the placebo group.
3201 9407413 Recent studies have further elucidated the association between blood pressure and albumin excretion in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients with (i) normal urinary albumin excretion (UAE), and (ii) moderate microalbuminuria (20 to 70 micrograms/min).

3207 9407417 Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors seem particularly effective in reducing the risk of progression to clinical albuminuria in both insulin dependent and non-insulin dependent diabetic patients and this beneficial effect appears to be long-lasting.
3208 9407417 Recent studies of primary prevention in insulin-dependent diabetic patients predominantly with normoalbuminuria demonstrate that ACE inhibition reduces significantly the rate of progression of albumin excretion rate and, of great interest, seems to affect beneficially the progression of retinopathy.
3209 9407417 Thus, ACE inhibitors are a powerful tool to prevent progression of microalbuminuria in diabetes and may prove useful as an adjunct therapy to intensified insulin therapy in the prevention of development of microalbuminuria and of retinopathy progression in insulin dependent diabetes.
3210 9407419 We have recently described heterogeneity in renal structure in non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients (NIDDM) with microalbuminuria (MA; defined as albumin excretion rate from 20 to 200 micrograms/min).
3211 9407420 After the development of macroalbuminuria (> or = 300 mg albumin/g creatinine), the glomerular filtration rate declines at least as rapidly as reported in subjects with insulin-dependent diabetes.
3212 9407508 PA and BCM correlated directly with serum creatinine, albumin, and prealbumin concentrations.
3213 9430016 No other blood tests results, including albumin, cholinesterase, and prothrombin time, or lipid profile and nutritional status, in terms of rapid turnover proteins, prealbumin, retinol binding protein, and transferin, were altered throughout the study period.
3214 9436372 To determine whether urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (Albumin index) and urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) to creatinine ratio (NAG index) in random spot urine samples can be sued to predict the early stage of diabetic nephropathy in the elderly non-insulin dependent diabetic patients, we measured these concentrations in 150 non-diabetics, 61 diabetics without retinopathy and 56 diabetics with retinopathy.
3215 9439926 Albumin excretion was increased in both IDDM and NIDDM patients with proliferative retinopathy (p < 0.01) along with increased BMI of IDDM and increased insulin requirement of NIDDM patients (p < 0.01).
3216 9439926 Multiple regression analysis showed that proliferative retinopathy with the inclusion of non-proliferative retinopathy of IDDM and NIDDM patients was significantly correlated with diabetes duration, albumin excretion, somatic and autonomic neuropathy (p < 0.01).
3217 9439926 In IDDM and NIDDM patients proliferative retinopathy was found to be correlated with somatic and autonomic neuropathy, albumin excretion (p < 0.01) and hypertension (p < 0.05).
3218 9439926 Albumin excretion was increased in both IDDM and NIDDM patients with proliferative retinopathy (p < 0.01) along with increased BMI of IDDM and increased insulin requirement of NIDDM patients (p < 0.01).

3220 9439926 In IDDM and NIDDM patients proliferative retinopathy was found to be correlated with somatic and autonomic neuropathy, albumin excretion (p < 0.01) and hypertension (p < 0.05).
3221 9439926 Albumin excretion was increased in both IDDM and NIDDM patients with proliferative retinopathy (p < 0.01) along with increased BMI of IDDM and increased insulin requirement of NIDDM patients (p < 0.01).
3222 9439926 Multiple regression analysis showed that proliferative retinopathy with the inclusion of non-proliferative retinopathy of IDDM and NIDDM patients was significantly correlated with diabetes duration, albumin excretion, somatic and autonomic neuropathy (p < 0.01).
3223 9439926 In IDDM and NIDDM patients proliferative retinopathy was found to be correlated with somatic and autonomic neuropathy, albumin excretion (p < 0.01) and hypertension (p < 0.05).
3224 9440091 Glycated hemoglobin and albumin excretion rate (AER) were measured every 3 mo.
3225 9440375 Microalbuminuria has a cumulative incidence of > 30% in persons by 25 y duration of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and is a strong predictor of renal disease and mortality.
3226 9440375 A cross-sectional population-based study of Tasmanian adults with IDDM and no previous diagnosis of microalbuminuria was conducted by measuring usual dietary macronutrient intake with a food-frequency questionnaire and defining microalbuminuria as an average urinary albumin excretion rate between 20 and 200 micrograms albumin/min in at least two of three timed overnight urine collections.
3227 9440375 After sex, age, duration of diabetes, daily number of insulin injections, body mass index, glycated hemoglobin, serum high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, frequency of exercise, and smoking status were adjusted for, the adjusted odds ratio for microalbuminuria for the highest quintile of energy-adjusted usual saturated fat intake compared with the lowest quintile was 4.9 (95% CI: 1.2, 20.0; P = 0.03).
3228 9447953 The expression of genes for MMP2 and TIMP2 in human diabetic nephropathy was investigated.
3229 9447953 Contrary to TIMP2 which was expressed both in tubulo-interstitium and glomeruli in almost all renal biopsies, MMP2 gene down-regulation was observed in glomeruli from all NIDDM patients, irrespective of the albumin excretion rate, and of renal histology.
3230 9447953 In conclusion, this study demonstrates that: 1) in glomeruli of NIDDM patients the MMP2 gene is down-regulated; 2) in biopsies of NIDDM patients the MMP2/TIMP2 pattern is peculiar for NIDDM; 3) the MMP2 gene down-regulation is observed in all NIDDM patients, irrespective of the level of albuminuria and of renal histology.
3231 9453292 Nephropathy is the major life-threatening complication of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
3232 9453292 Timely treatment with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, independently of rise in arterial blood pressure, should be considered if improvement of glycaemic control and moderate decrease of dietary protein intake for 6-12 months have failed to reduce the albumin excretion rate.
3233 9453770 [The effects of long-term captopril treatment on the evolution of urinary albumin excretion in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus].
3234 9455931 Reduced bone mineral density (BMD), termed diabetic osteopenia, has been reported in patients with insulin-dependent (Type 1) diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
3235 9455931 To examine BMD in long-term IDDM patients with normal kidney function, but with different degrees of urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), compared to that of patients with elevated plasma creatinine, 36 IDDM male patients (mean duration 27 years) were subdivided according to UAER (<30, 30-300, >300, >300 mg 24 h(-1) and plasma creatinine 0.120-0.350 mmol l(-1)) and 15 controls were recruited.
3236 9463577 The vascular pole area (VPA) and glomerular volume were measured in renal biopsies from 9 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients with normal albumin excretion rate (IDDM group 1), 38 IDDM patients with albumin excretion rate > 15 micrograms/min (IDDM group 2) and 10 living kidney donors (ND).

3242 9498633 Significance of cow's milk protein antibodies as risk factor for childhood IDDM: interactions with dietary cow's milk intake and HLA-DQB1 genotype.
3243 9498633 Dietary factors are suspected to play an aetiological role in the development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
3244 9498633 We analysed cow's milk formula, betalactoglobulin, and bovine serum albumin antibodies by an enzyme-linked immunoassay in unselected children with newly diagnosed IDDM and in their non-diabetic siblings and inquired about infant feeding practices by questionnaire.
3245 9498633 Among 410 diabetic sibling pairs matched for age and sex, by logistic regression analysis - including overall duration of breast-feeding, age at introduction of dairy products, recent consumption of cow's milk and HLA-DQB1 genotype ("high/moderate" vs "low/decreased" risk of IDDM) - bovine serum albumin IgG antibody levels (OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.25-3.57) and genetic risk (OR 3.81, 95% CI 2.43-5.17) were positively associated with IDDM; cow's milk formula IgM antibodies were inversely associated with the risk of IDDM (OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.29-0.87).
3246 9498633 Of the diabetic sibling pairs, 42 were identical for HLA-DQB1 alleles associated with IDDM risk or protection (DQB1*0201, *0301, *0302 and *0602/03).
3247 9498633 In these 42 pairs, children with IDDM had higher median levels of bovine serum albumin IgG, of betalactoglobulin IgG, and of cow's milk formula IgG and IgA antibodies than the non-diabetic siblings (p < 0.05).
3248 9498633 In conclusion, children with IDDM have higher levels of cow's milk protein antibodies than their HLA-DQB1-matched sibling controls, and these high levels of antibodies are independent risk markers for IDDM.

3263 9507208 Glycated albumin stimulates fibronectin gene expression in glomerular mesangial cells: involvement of the transforming growth factor-beta system.
3264 9507208 Albumin modified by Amadori glucose adducts, formed in increased amounts in diabetes, stimulates collagen IV production and gene expression in renal glomerular mesangial cells, and induces mesangial matrix accumulation accompanied by increased mRNA encoding alpha 1 (IV) collagen and fibronectin in diabetic animals.
3265 9507208 We postulated that Amadori-modified glycated albumin modulates TGF-beta 1 expression in mesangial cells, and that TGF-beta 1 participates in mediating the glycated albumin-induced increases in mesangial cell matrix production.
3266 9507208 To test this hypothesis, we measured mRNA encoding TGF-beta 1, the TGF-beta Type II receptor and fibronectin, a key matrix component of the TGF-beta 1 tissue response, after incubation of mesangial cells with glycated albumin.
3267 9507208 Further, they were accompanied by increased translated fibronectin protein, which was prevented with TGF-beta neutralizing antibody, as was the glycated albumin-induced increase in fibronectin mRNA.
3268 9507208 The findings indicate that Amadori-modified glycated albumin stimulates mesangial cell TGF-beta 1 gene expression by mechanisms that are operative under normoglycemic conditions.
3269 9507208 These data provide the first link between elevated glycated serum albumin concentrations and increased TGF-beta 1 bioactivity in the pathogenesis of mesangial matrix accumulation in diabetes.

3309 9507584 It has been estimated that the use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors in microalbuminuric IDDM will save 5200 Pounds-11,000 Pounds per year of life saved.
3310 9507584 Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors are not free of side-effects, and it is therefore essential, given the intrinsic variability of the albumin excretion rate, and the regression to normoalbuminuria of a significant proportion of patients, to confirm the diagnosis of microalbuminuria by repeated measurements prior to the commencement of treatment.
3311 9507584 Although intervention with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors has not been proven to prevent end stage renal disease, stabilisation of albumin excretion rate and creatinine clearance have been demonstrated in normotensive NIDDM, and it seems likely that longer term follow-up studies will confirm the benefit of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors in the prevention of end-stage renal disease.

3315 9508663 In all subjects the following parameters were assessed: creatinine clearance and 24 h urinary excretion of THP, albumin, sodium, potassium, and calcium.
3316 9524046 Plasma glucose, insulin, and C-peptide responses following oral glucose (75 g) were significantly lower after clonidine, as well as urinary albumin excretion.
3317 9536925 The aim of this study was to investigate whether angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition could prevent the proteinuric response to atrial natriuretic peptide in these patients.
3318 9536925 We performed infusions of atrial natriuretic peptide (0.01 microgram min-1 kg-1) in 10 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and microalbuminuria (urinary albumin excretion 90 +/- 44 mg/day), both before and after 1 month of treatment with enalapril (20 mg once daily). 3.
3319 9536925 Despite a 40% reduction in proteinuria, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition did not prevent the atrial natriuretic peptide-induced increase in protein excretion.
3320 9536925 Both before and during angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition, atrial natriuretic peptide infusion resulted in a significant increase in the fractional excretion of large dextran molecules, which is compatible with an increase in flow through large unrestrictive 'shunt' pores.
3321 9536925 Atrial natriuretic peptide infusion also induced an increase in the transcapillary escape rate of albumin and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition also failed to prevent this effect of atrial natriuretic peptide on peripheral capillary permeability. 4.
3322 9536925 We conclude that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition during 1 month does not correct the capillary barrier function defect in patients with diabetes mellitus and microalbuminuria that is unmasked by atrial natriuretic peptide infusion.

3329 9536927 In the present study, we investigated the effect of glycation and particularly that of human serum albumin on the activity of bile-salt-dependent lipase.
3330 9536927 In vitro, bile-salt-dependent lipase activity decreased in the presence of human serum albumin; however, this was less pronounced in the presence of glycated human serum albumin.
3331 9536927 In the present study, we investigated the effect of glycation and particularly that of human serum albumin on the activity of bile-salt-dependent lipase.

3333 9543099 AGE-albumin-induced TF expression was completely inhibited by the anti-oxidant agents, catalase and probucol.
3334 9548424 This study was performed to compare renal structure in insulin-dependent (IDDM) patients who had developed signs of nephropathy after a short or long duration of diabetes.
3335 9548424 Renal biopsies were obtained from 17 IDDM patients, with albumin excretion rate 20-300 microg/min and normal blood pressure.
3336 9568688 The relationship between humoral and cellular immunity to IA-2 in IDDM.
3337 9568688 Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from individuals with newly diagnosed IDDM or at varying levels of risk for the disease were stimulated in vitro with the entire 42-kDa internal domain of IA-2 (amino acids 603-979), a series of control antigens (glutathionine-S-transferase, tetanus toxoid, Candida albicans, mumps, bovine serum albumin), and a mitogen (phytohemagglutinin).
3338 9568688 These studies support the autoantigenic nature of IA-2 in IDDM and suggest the inclusion of cellular immune responses as an adjunct marker for the disease.
3339 9576755 We addressed the role of hyperglycemia in leukocyte-endothelium interaction under flow conditions by exposing human umbilical vein endothelial cells for 24 h to normal (5 mM), high concentration of glucose (30 mM), advanced glycosylation end product-albumin (100 microg/ml), or hyperglycemic (174-316 mg/dl) sera from patients with diabetes and abnormal hemoglobin A1c (8.1+/-1.4%).
3340 9576755 Sera from diabetic patients significantly (P < 0.01) enhanced leukocyte adhesion as compared with controls, despite normal levels of IL-1beta and TNFalpha in these sera.
3341 9588452 However, the relationship between insulin resistance and microalbuminuria in patients with NIDDM could be due to hyperglycemia, which can cause both insulin resistance and an increase in albumin excretion rate.
3342 9588452 Therefore, we examined, cross-sectionally, the relationship of insulin sensitivity (S(I) x 10(-4) min x microU(-1) x ml(-1)), estimated by a frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test and the minimal model and fasting plasma insulin concentration, to microalbuminuria (albumin-to-creatinine ratio > or = 2 mg/mmol) in 982 nondiabetic subjects aged 40-69 years.

3345 9590367 Urinary measurement of transforming growth factor-beta and type IV collagen as new markers of renal injury: application in diabetic nephropathy.
3346 9590367 Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-11) and retinol binding protein (RBP) were measured with modification of commercially available methods used to assay serum specimens; type 3 collagen (T3C) was measured with a new immunonephelometric assay.
3347 9590367 The clinical utility of measuring a panel of these markers was demonstrated in urine samples from 16 control subjects and from 46 individuals with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) with various albumin excretion rates (AERs).
3348 9592639 No other consistent associations were found between insulin dose and other cardiovascular risk factors: body mass index, central adiposity, arterial blood pressures, serum total cholesterol, apoA1, apoB, Lp(a), uric acid, or urinary albumin excretion.
3349 9594145 Meanwhile, in group A urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) and insulin sensitivity index (SI) decreased significantly and blood pressure was stable, but in group B UAER and blood pressure elevated significantly and SI was only slightly ameliorated (P > 0.05).
3350 9595522 Treatment with LU 135252 significantly decreased the ET-1 excretion by more than 50%, whereas ACE inhibition resulted only in a mild decrease.
3351 9595522 Albumin excretion was significantly decreased after ACE inhibition, whereas ETA inhibition resulted in a nonsignificant decrease.
3352 9597378 Relationship of elevated urinary albumin excretion to components of the metabolic syndrome in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
3353 9600104 MRX could be formed by incubation of bovine serum albumin with glucose, followed by acid hydrolysis.
3354 9628239 Ten NIDDM patients (7 female, 3 male; age 62 +/- 4 y., BMI (Body-Mass-Index) 29.6 +/- 3.9 kg/m2, duration 10 +/- 7 y., HbA1c 10.9 +/- 1.3% (normal 4.0-6.1%), treated with glibenclamide and/or metformin) were studied on two occasions in random order: Either GLP-1 (7-36 amide) (Saxon Biochemicals, Hannover, FRG, 1 pmol x kg(-1) x min(-1)) or placebo (0.9% NaCl with 1% human serum albumin, Behringwerke, Marburg, FRG) were infused intravenously from 22:00 to 7:00 (9 h) and plasma glucose profiles were obtained during the GLP-1 infusion and the following 24 hours.
3355 9628239 Thereafter, starting 1 h after breakfast, no significant differences in plasma glucose, insulin, C-peptide or glucagon profiles were found between experiments with GLP-1 (7-36 amide) and placebo.
3356 9628239 In conclusion, (1) overnight GLP-1 (7-36 amide) normalizes fasting plasma glucose, but (2) has no sustained effect on meal-induced glucose, insulin or glucagon concentrations once its administration has been stopped. (3) Normalization of fasting plasma glucose alone does not improve daytime metabolic control in NIDDM patients on oral agents.
3357 9642665 However, long-term studies with ACE-inhibitors in normotensive patients have shown negligible changes in the glomerular filtration rate, which better reflects the renal status during treatment than changes in the albumin excretion rate.
3358 9648826 The hypothesis that protein hydrolysates (peptones) can directly regulate both GLP-1 secretion and proglucagon (PG) gene transcription was tested in this study, ex vivo in the isolated vascularly perfused rat intestine and in vitro in the murine enteroendocrine cell line STC-1.
3359 9648826 We demonstrate in these two models that peptones dose-dependently stimulate GLP-1 release, whereas isocaloric quantities of bovine serum albumin or of an amino acid mixture had no stimulatory effect.
3360 9648826 Overall, peptones evoke an as yet undescribed release of GLP-1 when brought into contact with native intestinal L-cells or with STC-1 enteroendocrine cells.
3361 9649959 The prevalence of abnormally elevated albumin excretion rate (> 30 mg/24 h) is approximately 40% in insulin-dependent (IDDM) and non-insulin-dependent (NIDDM) diabetic patients.
3362 9649959 Randomised controlled trials in normotensive IDDM and NIDDM patients with persistent microalbuminuria indicate that ACE inhibitors diminish urinary albumin excretion rate, postpone it and may even prevent progression to clinical overt nephropathy.
3363 9649959 Effective blood pressure reduction with non-ACE-inhibitors and/or ACE-inhibitors frequently in combination with diuretics: (a) reduces albuminuria; (b) delays the progression of nephropathy; (c) postpones renal insufficiency; and (d) improves survival in IDDM and NIDDM patients with diabetic nephropathy.
3364 9649959 A specific renal protective effect of ACE-inhibitors in diabetic nephropathy has been demonstrated in IDDM patients with moderately reduced kidney function (s-creatinine > 133 mumol/l) while the data conflict with NIDDM patients.

3372 9678681 Urinary pancreatic stone protein (PSP) levels were measured in 68 diabetic patients and 170 healthy controls to investigate the relationship between the progression of diabetic nephropathy and PSP excretion.
3373 9678681 Urinary albumin, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG), alpha1-microglobulin, creatinine clearance, and the blood PSP level were also determined in the diabetic patients.
3374 9678681 In patients with normoalbuminuria (urinary albumin <20 mg/gCr, n=31), microalbuminuria (20-200 mg/Cr, n=19), and macroalbuminuria (>200 mg/gCr, n=18), the mean urinary PSP level was 347, 507, and 860 microg/gCr, respectively.

3378 9693970 In contrast to several previously published reports, we demonstrate by a variety of antibody assays that bovine serum albumin (BSA) is not antigenically cross-reactive with the 69-kDa islet cell autoantigen (ICA69).
3379 9699039 We examined the correlations of total serum protein, albumin, fibrinogen, alpha 2-macroglobulin, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides with plasma and blood viscosity (hct. 35%) measured at a continuous shear range of 600-0.2 s-1 with a rotational viscometer (Haake, Germany).
3380 9702469 There was a significant correlation between soluble VCAM-1 and log10 (urinary albumin excretion) in 69 patients with normal serum creatinine levels (r = 0.51, p < 0.0001) and a significant correlation between soluble VCAM-1 and log10 (serum creatinine) in all the patients (r = 0.83, p < 0.0001).

3383 9702472 To test the hypothesis that elevations in plasma ANP concentration increase urinary albumin excretion in Type 1 DM, we have studied the effects of intravenous infusions of ANP in eight such subjects with established microalbuminuria.
3384 9702472 Once steady state diuresis was attained, subjects received intravenous infusion of either placebo (0.9% saline), low dose (2.5 pmol kg-1 min-1) or high dose (5.0 pmol kg-1 kg min-1) ANP solution in a randomized, double-blind protocol.
3385 9702472 Infusion of ANP caused a dose-dependent increase in urinary albumin excretion rate (placebo, 11.3 (SD 8.9) to 8.7 (SD 6.8) micrograms min-1; low dose ANP, 12.4 (SD 9.9) to 26.5 (SD 27.5) micrograms min-1, p < 0.01; high dose ANP 10.3 (SD 7.3) to 36.6 (SD 28.5) micrograms min-1, p < 0.001, ANOVA).

3490 9868130 [Relationship between urinary albumin excretion and blood vessel lesion in non-insulin-dependent diabetics].
3491 9868130 To search the relationships between urinary albumin excretion and blood vessel lesion in non-insulin-dependent diabetics, we compared the differences of blood-lipid, blood pressure, coronary heart disease and retina disease between 58 patients.

3494 9868951 In NIDDM patients with normal urinary IgG levels (n=81); the urinary albumin or transferrin levels were not related to serum or urinary CYFRA 21-1 levels.
3495 9868977 Apolipoprotein E genotype is a determinant of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and of its response to a low-cholesterol diet in Type 1 diabetic patients with elevated urinary albumin excretion.
3496 9869174 In both controls and insulin-dependent diabetic patients, we found a close correlation between propeptide and immunoreactive vWf levels (r2=0.54, p <0.0001). vWf and propeptide were elevated in patient subgroups with microalbuminuria or overt diabetic nephropathy, whereas only the propeptide was significantly elevated in the normoalbuminuric subgroup.
3497 9869174 This observation suggests that in conjunction with vWf, propeptide measurements may improve the identification of endothelial activation, which occurs frequently even without increased urinary albumin excretion.

3499 9893213 Microalbuminuric [16] and macroalbuminuric [17] hypertensive insulin dependent diabetics were followed up for 4 years after the initiation of captopril therapy to assess the efficacy of ACE inhibitor therapy on albuminuria and blood pressure normalisation.
3500 9893213 We conclude that ACE inhibitor therapy results in a rapid decrease of albuminuria and blood pressure, and despite a slow gradual increase, the albumin excretion rates and blood pressure values remain significantly lower than the initial values after four years.
3501 9915227 Microalbuminuria evolves into clinical nephropathy and renal failure in a majority of cases of insulin-dependent diabetic patients, and is defined by the detection of urinary albumin excretion rates of 20-200 microg/min in timed urine collections.

3506 9973668 Leptin levels were higher in micro- than normoalbuminuric IDDM patients, and lower in healthy controls than in both IDDM groups (p < 0.05, respectively).
3507 9973668 In multiple regression analysis, presence of IDDM and BMI independently contributed to increased leptin values (R2 = 0.34, p < 0.001).
3508 9973668 Including IDDM females only, solely low IGF-1 and high testosterone/SHBG were associated with leptin (R2 = 0.39, p = 0.009).
3509 9973668 Albumin excretion rate (AER) was correlated to leptin (r = 0.48, p = 0.01).
3510 9973668 In conclusion, serum leptin, independently of BMI, is: (1) increased in IDDM females of late puberty; (2) associated with low IGF-1 and hyperandrogenemia, and (3) related to increased albumin excretion rate in IDDM females.

3518 10027576 Insulin suppresses apolipoprotein(a) synthesis by primary cultures of cynomolgus monkey hepatocytes.
3519 10027576 To investigate the biochemical background of these changes, we studied the effect of insulin on apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)) synthesis and mRNA levels in primary cultures of cynomolgus monkey hepatocytes.
3520 10027576 Low concentrations of insulin (10 nmol/l) had a small but significant decreasing effect (p < 0.046) on apolipoprotein(a) secretion (-16%).
3521 10027576 Apolipoprotein B-100 secretion was 30%-36% decreased when using 10-1000 nmol/l and no change was observed for the secretion of apolipoprotein A-1 and albumin which were measured as control proteins.
3522 10027576 Steady state apolipoprotein(a) mRNA concentrations paralleled the decrease in apolipoprotein(a) synthesis (-29% after incubating the cells for 48 h with 100 nmol/l insulin) indicating that the decreased synthesis is regulated at the (post)-transcriptional level.
3523 10027576 Concentrations of apolipoprotein B-100 and apolipoprotein A-1 mRNA were not changed after incubation with insulin.
3524 10027576 We conclude that high concentrations of insulin suppress apolipoprotein(a) synthesis in monkey hepatocytes at the (post)-transcriptional level.
3525 10027580 The relation between urinary albumin excretion rate (UAE), transcapillary escape rate of albumin (TERalb), haemostatic factors, ambulatory blood pressure, and metabolic variables was investigated in 45 Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients without overt nephropathy or uncontrolled blood pressure.
3526 10027580 BMI, 24 h systolic and diastolic blood pressure, plasma concentrations of triglycerides, fasting glucose, factor VIII, von Willebrand factor (vWf), fibrinogen, alpha-2 macroglobulin, and fibronectin were notably higher in patients with increased albuminuria compared with normoalbuminuric patients, whereas the TERalb was similar in the two groups.
3527 10073780 Microalbuminuria is an increase in urinary albumin not detected by conventional dipstick testing and is present in 20% of patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
3528 10077454 To clarify the relationship between circulating thrombomodulin (TM) and endothelial cell damage in diabetes mellitus, plasma levels of TM were quantitated by an enzyme linked immunoabsorbant assay (ELISA) in 164 type 2 diabetes mellitus and 72 normal control subjects, and these levels were compared with those of von Willebrand factor antigen (vWf: Ag), thrombin antithrombin III complexes (TAT), plasmin-alpha2-plasmin inhibitor complexes (PIC), fibrinogen, D-dimer, urinary albumin excretion rate (AER), intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque score of the common carotid artery assessed with high resolution B-mode ultrasonography.
3529 10078552 We examined the in vivo effect of prolonged elevation of plasma FFAs on GSIS using a two-step hyperglycemic clamp in rats treated with a 48-h intravenous infusion of either 20% Intralipid plus heparin (INT) (5 microl/min plus heparin, 0.1 U/min; n = 8), oleate (OLE) (1.3 microEq/min; n = 6), saline (SAL) (n = 6), or bovine serum albumin (BSA) (vehicle for OLE; n = 5).
3530 10078552 Preclamp glucose, insulin, and C-peptide levels were higher in INT than in CONT rats (P < 0.05), suggesting insulin resistance, but they were not different in OLE and CONT rats.
3531 10078552 The insulin and C-peptide responses to the rise in plasma glucose from basal to 13 mmol/l were lower in OLE (336 +/- 72 pmol/l and 1.2 +/- 0.1 nmol/l, P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively) than in CONT (552 +/- 54 and 1.9 +/- 0.1) rats, but they were not different between CONT and INT rats (648 +/- 150 and 2.0 +/- 0.4).
3532 10078552 The insulin and C-peptide responses to the rise in plasma glucose from 13 to 22 mmol/l were lower in both INT (1,188 +/- 204 pmol/l and 3.0 +/- 0.3 nmol/l, P < 0.01 and P < 0.001) and OLE (432 +/- 60 and 1.7 +/- 0.2, P < 0.001 vs.
3533 10078552 In summary, 1) both INT and OLE decreased GSIS in vivo in rats, and 2) the impairing effect of INT on GSIS was less than that of OLE, which might be due to the different type of fatty acid (mostly polyunsaturated in INT versus monounsaturated as OLE) and/or to differential effects of INT and OLE on insulin sensitivity.
3534 10086914 The von Willebrand factor and albumin were detected by immunohistochemical techniques.
3535 10096789 C-reactive protein, its relation to a low degree of inflammatory activation and its association with activation of the endothelium have not been systematically investigated in Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus.
3536 10096789 In the Type I diabetic group, log(C-reactive protein) correlated significantly with von Willebrand factor (r = 0.439, p<0.005) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (r = 0.384, p<0.02), but not with sE-selectin (r = 0.008, p = 0.96).
3537 10096789 In the second group of Type I diabetic patients, increased urinary albumin excretion was associated with a significant increase of von Willebrand factor (p<0.0005) and C-reactive protein (p = 0.003), which were strongly correlated (r = 0.53, p<0.0005).
3538 10097910 Another principle to prolong insulin action is the use of soluble fatty acid acylated insulins that are bound to albumin after absorption.
3539 10102170 Based on data from patients with established disease, with the involvement of various organ systems, potential candidate markers would include renal function (kallikrein-creatinine); coagulation and fibrinolytic systems and platelet activation (platelet volume); markers of vascular function (fibronectin, prostacyclin, thromboxane) and oxidant stress (lipid peroxides, 8-isoprostane, antioxidants, anticardiolipin antibodies, hemoglobin, iron, transferrin, homocysteine, hypertriglyceridemia, albumin isoforms); placental peptide hormones (CRH, CRHbp, activin, inhibin, hCG); vascular resistance (uteroplacental flow velocity waveforms); genetic markers; insulin resistance; and glucose intolerance.
3540 10196511 METHODS: Anti-AQP-2 antiserum has been raised in New Zealand white rabbits immunized with a conjugate of synthetic AQP-2 peptide (257-271) with bovine serum albumin.

3544 10221660 Therefore, we studied the effects of aminoguanidine on the formation of pentosidine and N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), measured by analytical chemical methods, in collagen of streptozotocin-diabetic Lewis rats at doses which ameliorated urinary albumin excretion, an index of diabetic nephropathy.
3545 10221660 At 12 weeks, diabetic animals had fivefold higher blood glucose, threefold higher glycated hemoglobin and fivefold higher collagen glycation, compared to metabolically healthy controls; pentosidine and CML in skin collagen were increased by approximately 30 and 150%, respectively.
3546 10221660 Administration of aminoguanidine, 50 mg/kg by daily intraperitoneal injection, significantly inhibited the development of albuminuria (approximately 60%, P < 0.01) in diabetic rats, without an effect on blood glucose or glycation of hemoglobin or collagen.

3564 10334317 Inhibitory effect of a growth hormone receptor antagonist (G120K-PEG) on renal enlargement, glomerular hypertrophy, and urinary albumin excretion in experimental diabetes in mice.
3565 10334317 To investigate the effect of a newly developed GH receptor (GHR) antagonist (G120K-PEG) on renal/glomerular hypertrophy and urinary albumin excretion (UAE), streptozotocin-induced diabetic and nondiabetic mice were injected with G120K-PEG every 2nd day for 28 days.
3566 10334317 No differences were seen between the two diabetic groups with respect to body weight, food intake, blood glucose, serum GH, IGF-I, and IGFBP-3 levels or hepatic IGF-I levels.
3567 10334317 In conclusion, administration of a GHR antagonist in diabetic mice has renal effects without affecting metabolic control and circulating levels of GH, IGF-I, or IGFBP-3, thus indicating that the effect of G120K-PEG may be mediated through a direct inhibitory effect on renal IGF-I through the renal GHR.

3573 10342820 TFPI activity was elevated, and PAI-1 activity was reduced in the type 1 diabetic patients.
3574 10342820 Furthermore, PAI-1 activity was positively correlated with urinary albumin excretion (r = 0.48, P < 0.01) and inversely correlated with the vasodilatory response to the highest ACh dose (r = -0.37, P < 0.05).
3575 10353294 It remains to be evaluated whether angiotensin II-receptor antagonists can exert intrarenal effects and antiproteinuric actions similar to those of ACE inhibitors.
3576 10353294 While primary prevention of diabetic nephropathy is still an unsolved problem. there is convincing evidence that in patients with type 1 (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus; IDDM) or 2 diabetes mellitus and incipient nephropathy ACE inhibitors reduce urinary albumin excretion and slow the progression to overt nephropathy.
3577 10359576 I-Ag7 formed long-lived complexes with naturally processed peptides from transferrin and albumin, whereas several peptides that represent T cell epitopes of islet autoantigens were poor binders.
3578 10364706 Relationship between polymorphism in the angiotensinogen, angiotensin-converting enzyme or angiotensin II receptor and renal progression in Japanese NIDDM patients.
3579 10364706 We determined the relationship between the gene polymorphism of angiotensinogen (AGT), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), or angiotensin II receptor (AT1R) and the progression of diabetic nephropathy in a multicenter trial of ethnically homogeneous Japanese patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM).

3657 10580417 DCs derived from GM-CSF [granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor] + interleukin (IL)-4 cultures expressed high levels of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II, CD40, CD80, and CD86 molecules and were efficient stimulators of naive allogeneic T-cells.
3658 10580417 In contrast, DCs derived from GM-CSF cultures had low levels of MHC class II costimulation/activation molecules, were able to take up mannosylated bovine serum albumin more efficiently than GM + IL-4 DCs, and were poor T-cell stimulators.

3664 10585308 To examine the role of genetic factors in influencing albuminuria in families, we studied the relation of angiotensin-converting enzymes (ACE) and angiotensinogen (AGN) genotypes with albumin excretion rate in a population of affected siblings of type 2 diabetic probands.
3665 10585308 Thus, our findings suggest that in white families with type 2 diabetes, there is no linkage between the degree of albumin excretion and ACE and AGN polymorphisms, whereas the latter is related to arterial hypertension, as previously found in patients without diabetes but with essential hypertension.

3681 10624787 The prevalence of microalbuminuria, defined as the albumin:creatinine ratio > or = 2.5 (for males) or > or = 3.5 mg/mmol (for females), was 13.4% in Type 1 DM, 69.5% in insulin-requiring Type 2 DM and 16% in Type 2 DM treated only with oral hypoglycemic agents.
3682 10624788 The serum Epo concentrations of diabetic patients (17.6 +/- 8.1 mIU/ml) were significantly lower than those of non-diabetic patients with similar degree of decrease in hemoglobin concentrations (144.9 +/- 108.0 mIU/ml, P<0.001).
3683 10624788 The hemoglobin concentrations of diabetic patients correlated with creatinine clearance (r = 0.34, P = 0.03), serum creatinine (r = -0.49, P = 0.003) and albumin excretion rate (r = -0.44, P = 0.009), but showed no relation to age, duration of diabetes, glycated hemoglobin, presence of retinopathy or neuropathy.

3687 10634379 The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between glycemic control, insulin dose, and 24-h ambulatory BP (AMBP) in a group of well-characterized IDDM patients.
3688 10634379 Twenty-four-h AMBP was measured in 123 normoalbuminuric [urinary albumin excretion (UAE) < 20 microg/min] IDDM patients using an oscillometric technique (SpaceLabs 90207) with readings at 20-min intervals.
3689 10655727 In addition, urine samples were assayed for albumin, transferrin, beta 2-microglobulin and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase.
3690 10655727 While the excretion of IgG correlated with that of albumin and transferrin, there was no correlation between the excretion of IgG and the other laboratory indices evaluated.

3719 10693916 Measurements were taken of hemostatic variables, the oxidative status of the plasma, and the redox status, both extracellularly as plasma albumin-thiols (PSH) and lipid peroxides, and intracellularly as red blood cell superoxide dismutase activity (SOD).
3720 10698958 We have recently shown that a PKC beta inhibitor ameliorates not only early diabetes-induced glomerular dysfunction such as glomerular hyperfiltration and albuminuria, but also overexpression of glomerular mRNA for transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, a model for type 1 diabetes.
3721 10698958 Administration of a PKC beta inhibitor reduced urinary albumin excretion rates and inhibited glomerular PKC activation in diabetic db/db mice.
3722 10698958 Administration of a PKC beta inhibitor also prevented the mesangial expansion observed in diabetic db/db mice, possibly through attenuation of glomerular expression of TGF-beta and ECM proteins such as fibronectin and type IV collagen.

3730 10726914 Activation of transforming growth factor-beta1 in diabetic kidney disease.
3731 10726914 The aim of this study was to investigate whether circulating transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) are associated with diabetic kidney disease.
3732 10726914 Serum levels of active and total TGF-beta1 and TNF-alpha were measured in type 2 diabetic patients with nephropathy (n = 23) or without (n = 35) and normoglycemic controls (n = 12).
3733 10726914 Active TGF-beta1 concentrations were correlated with urinary albumin excretion (r = .49, P < .003) and serum creatinine (r= .55, P < .01).

3738 10741569 Low expression of IFN-gamma mRNA was associated with high secretion of C-peptide, whereas a positive relationship could be observed between expression of IL-4 mRNA and insulin antibodies.
3739 10741569 Expression of IFN-gamma and/or IL-4 mRNA was also detected in lymphocytes from 6/10 healthy controls.

3747 10793011 There were no differences in the frequency of myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass, access age, presence of diabetes mellitus, platelet counts, anticardiolipin antibody, albumin, lactate dehydrogenase, or C-reactive protein levels.
3748 10802146 Although her hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were maintained from 6.0 to 6.5% over 4 years, urinary albumin excretion levels and serum creatinine levels increased, indicating deteriorating diabetic nephropathy.

3750 10821130 Effect of combination therapy of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor plus calcium channel blocker on urinary albumin excretion in hypertensive microalbuminuric patients with type II diabetes.
3751 10821130 In conclusion, this study showed that in hypertensive microalbuminuric type II diabetic patients, the combination of an ACE inhibitor plus amlodipine resulted in a more pronounced decreased in blood pressure (diastolic blood pressure <80 mmHg) and a greater reduction in urinary albumin excretion than did use of an ACE inhibitor alone.

3754 10822799 This could be explained neither by differences in blood pressure or concentration of plasma lipoproteins, both of which were more atherogenic in the microalbuminuric individuals, nor by differences in plasma volume or albumin concentration, antropometric factors, insulin sensitivity, or smoking habits.
3755 10826516 This study demonstrates that the principle of protracted insulin action of NN304 by reversible binding to albumin is effective in humans albeit at a much lower rate of glucose utilisation when compared to NPH insulin.
3756 10862828 The data suggest that the degrees of contribution of their effects on blood pressure and renal angiotensin-converting enzyme activity to the inhibition of urinary albumin excretion may be different between the two angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
3757 10868523 Central obesity was common, but BMIs only modestly increased by Caucasian standards, 23% had hypertension (>140/90), 29% had diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) (peaking at 65% of persons aged 40-49 years), high triglyceride and insulin levels were common, and 55% had albuminuria (albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR), >3.4 gm/moL).
3758 10871161 Systemic levels contribute significantly to increased intraocular IGF-I, IGF-II and IGF-BP3 [correction of IFG-BP3] in proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
3759 10871161 Increased intraocular levels of angiogenic growth factors such as insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) have been demonstrated in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).
3760 10871161 This is the first study investigating parallelly serum and vitreous levels of IGF-I/II, IGF-BP3 and the liver-derived permeability marker albumin to determine in vivo the amount of circulation-derived intraocular IGFs.
3761 10871161 Levels of IGF-I/II, IGF-BP3 and albumin were determined by immunological methods.
3762 10871161 This was comparable to an increase of IGF-I/11 and IGF-BP3 in vitreous from PDR patients (IGF-I: 2.3 +/- 1.1 ng/ml p = 0.005.
3763 10871161 IGF-BP3: 97.9 +/- 26.9 ng/ml; p = 0.0001; n = 34) compared to controls (IGF-I: 0.7 +/- 0.1 ng/ml.
3764 10871161 Serum levels did not differ significantly among the groups regarding IGF-I, II and IGF-BP3.
3765 10871161 Intraocular albumin and IGF-I levels calculated as percentage of the respective serum levels correlated significantly (r = 0.42; p = 0.012).
3766 10871161 This study demonstrates that influx of IGF-I, II and IGF-BP3 in PDR quantitatively parallels influx of the liver derived serum protein albumin suggesting that leakage of the blood retina barrier and serum levels of IGF primarily determine intravitreal IGF levels rather than local synthesis.

3794 10909985 Several AGE-binding proteins have been identified so far, including p60, p90, and the adhesive and growth-regulating lectin galectin-3 (Gal-3), the components of the so-called AGE-receptor complex.
3795 10909985 This study aimed to evaluate the mesangial expression of the AGE-receptor complex and its modulation by the diabetic milieu, both in vivo, in non-diabetic versus streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, and in vitro, in mesangial cells exposed to either normal glucose (NG) levels (5.5 mmol/l), as compared with high glucose (HG) levels (30 mmol/l) and iso-osmolar mannitol (M), or to native bovine serum albumin (BSA), as compared with glycated BSA with AGE formation (BSA-AGE) and glycated BSA in which AGE formation was prevented by aminoguanidine (BSA-AM).
3796 10909985 Both p60 and p90 immunoreactivities were observed at the glomerular level with slightly increased expression of p90, but not p60, in diabetic versus nondiabetic animals.
3797 10909985 Both p60 and p90 were demonstrated in mesangial cells under NG conditions, and the expression of p90, but not p60, was upregulated by approximately 20% by HG or BSA-AGE.
3798 10909985 These results indicate that 1) under basal conditions, Gal-3, unlike p90 and p60, is not detectable in the mesangium but becomes expressed with aging and 2) the diabetic milieu induces or upregulates Gal-3 production, whereas it increases only slightly the expression of p90, but not p60.
3799 10909985 Gal-3 expression or overexpression may modulate the AGE-receptor-mediated events by modifying the function of the AGE-receptor complex.

3815 10999154 This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of microalbuminuria (MAU) and albumin excretion rate (AER) in a timed overnight (12 hours) urine sample, in 72 insulin-dependent-diabetic (IDD) patients and to correlate the same to the clinical profile, glycemic control and to diabetic complications.
3816 11004431 In glycated albumin-treated endothelial cells, we observed induction of cell-associated expression of E-selectin (ELAM-1; 170+/-10% over control values, p<0.005), intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1; 131+/-8% over control values, p<0.005) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1; 134+/-8% over control values, p<0.005), augmentation in the levels of the transcripts of these molecules, and an increase in the DNA binding of NF-kappaB in the promoters of these antigens.
3817 11004431 Because the oxidative stress-sensitive transcription factor NF-kappaB is implicated in endothelial cell activation, the observed inhibitory effect of gliclazide on NF-kappaB activation and glycated albumin-induced expression of DNA binding activity for the NF-kappaB site in the ELAM-1, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 promoters seems to be due to its antioxidant properties.

3903 11181802 A substitution (M235T) polymorphism in angiotensinogen (AGT) may interact with ACE I/D polymorphism for the risk of diabetic nephropathy, but their prognostic values have to be established by follow-up studies.
3904 11181802 The ACE I/D and M235T AGT polymorphisms were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the patients.
3905 11181802 In the patients who initially were free of nephropathy, baseline plasma ACE concentration was higher in patients who progressed to microalbuminuria (571 +/- 231 versus 466 +/- 181 microg/L; P = 0.0032); the D allele independently favored the occurrence of incipient nephropathy (adjusted hazard ratio, 4.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.1 to 19.4); other contributors were male gender, baseline systolic BP, and urinary albumin excretion.
3906 11228193 Applying more stringent criteria, only 12 ASPs (sib with diabetes >10 years, diabetic retinopathy, and nephrotic proteinuria) and 9 DSPs (sib with diabetes >10 years and normal urine albumin excretion) were identified.
3907 11232013 The primary end point was change in hemoglobin A(1c); other variables assessed included fasting plasma glucose, fructosamine, endogenous insulin secretion, urinary albumin excretion, serum lipids, and adverse events.

3919 11323087 In this prospective, open and non-randomized study, the effect of alpha-lipoic acid on the progression of endothelial cell damage and the course of diabetic nephropathy, as assessed by measurement of plasma thrombomodulin and urinary albumin concentration (UAC), was evaluated in 84 patients with diabetes mellitus over 18 months.
3920 11325682 In univariate analysis using the Cox proportional hazards model, survival was significantly influenced by age, albumin level, prealbumin level, body mass index, and diabetes, but not by sex, Kt/V, duration of dialysis, cholesterol level, hemoglobin level, or obs/exp LBM.
3921 11334437 We determined the effect of insulin with or without amino acid supplementation on the synthesis rates of liver proteins (tissue, albumin, and fibrinogen) using L-[1-13C]Leu as a tracer in 24 male miniature swine.
3922 11334437 In contrast, insulin alone decreased the albumin synthesis rate, and insulin with amino acids maintained the albumin synthesis rate.
3923 11334437 In contrast, insulin administration along with amino supplement is necessary to maintain albumin synthesis rate.

3930 11375353 Requirement for p38 and p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein kinases in RAGE-mediated nuclear factor-kappaB transcriptional activation and cytokine secretion.
3931 11375353 CML-modified albumin produced rapid transient activation of tyrosine phosphorylation, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2, and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), but not c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase.
3932 11375353 RAGE-mediated NF-kappaB activation was suppressed by the selective p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 and by coexpression of a kinase-dead p38 dominant-negative mutant.
3933 11375353 Activation of NF-kappaB by CML-modified albumin increased secretion of proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1beta, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1) severalfold, and inhibition of p38 MAPK blocked these increases.
3934 11375353 These results indicate that p38 MAPK activation mediates RAGE-induced NF-kappaB-dependent secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and suggest that accelerated inflammation may be a consequence of cellular activation induced by this receptor.

3940 11395040 The diabetic patients were divided into four groups by urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (U-ACR) and serum creatinine (S-Cr) levels: DM-1 (U-ACR< 30 mg/g, N=85), DM-2 (U-ACR=30-300 mg/g, N=48), DM-3 (U-ACR > 300 mg/g, N=29) and DM-4 (S-Cr>177 micromol/l or 2.0mg/dl, N=38).
3941 11395040 Reduction of HDL-C was significant in DM-1, DM-2 and DM-3 (by 12-16%) and it was more exaggerated in DM-4 (by 35%).
3942 11403100 Plasma angiotensin II, renin activity and serum angiotensin-converting enzyme activity in non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus patients with diabetic nephropathy.
3943 11403100 Plasma renin activity, plasma angiotensin II and serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity were measured in 45 non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients and 15 healthy non-diabetic controls.
3944 11403100 Non-insulin dependent diabetic patients with nephropathy had significantly higher plasma angiotensin II levels (28.99+/-5.88 pg/ml) than non-complicated diabetics (p<0.001).
3945 11403100 Serum ACE activity is raised in NIDDM patients with no relation to albumin excretion rate.
3946 11403855 Our objective was to determine whether Type 1 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria are less sensitive to the effects of insulin on glucose metabolism and skeletal muscle blood flow, compared to those with normal albumin excretion, after careful matching for confounding variables.
3947 11426588 The effect of bezafibrate (group A) or pravastatin (group B) on the cholesterol (CH) content of apolipoprotein AI, B100 containing particles or remnant-like particles (RLP) or urinary albumin excretion was studied over 4 years.

3949 11440279 Retinal photocoagulation does not influence intraocular levels of IGF-I, IGF-II and IGF-BP3 in proliferative diabetic retinopathy-evidence for combined treatment of PDR with somatostatin analogues and retinal photocoagulation?
3950 11440279 Reduced levels of VEGF/VPF might result in an improved function of the blood-retina barrier and cause a decrease of blood derived intraocular growth factors such as IGF-I.
3951 11440279 This study investigates whether retinal photocoagulation is able to normalize the concentrations of IGF-I, IGF-II and IGF-BP3 in the vitreous humor of patients undergoing vitrectomy.
3952 11440279 IGF-I, IGF-II, IGF-BP3 and albumin were determined by immunological methods and were confirmed to be increased in patients with PDR compared to controls.
3953 11440279 Retinal photocoagulation influenced neither the intraocular concentration of the permeability marker albumin (PDR+: 253.2 +/- 46 mg/dl; PDR-: 256.4 +/- 66.5 mg/dl) nor the levels of IGFs (PDR+: IGF-I: 1.2 +/- 0.1 ng/ml; p = 0.38; IGF-II: 34.8 +/- 2.2 ng/ml; p = 0.1; IGF-BP3: 75.7 +/- 9.7 ng/ml; p = 0.27; PDR-: IGF-I: 1.1 +/- 0.2ng/ml; IGF-II: 29.3 +/- 5.2 ng/ml; IGF-BP3: 61.5 +/- 18.3 ng/ml).
3954 11440279 The lack of influence on intraocular concentrations of the serum-derived growth factors, IGF-I, IGF-II and IGF-BP3, might in part explain the failure of previous photocoagulation in the investigated patients.

3961 11450165 The novel angiotensin II receptor type 1 antagonists do not influence the bradykinin concentrations and seem to be tolerated by patients suffering from chronic cough with ACE inhibitor therapy.
3962 11450165 In studies with diabetic animals the nephroprotective effects of ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonists are comparable.
3963 11450165 Short-term studies directly comparing the renal effects of ACE inhibitors with AT II type 1 receptor antagonists revealed similar reduction of blood pressure and albumin excretion rate in patients with diabetic nephropathy, so a combination of both substances might be useful.
3964 11456288 To examine whether urinary excretions of plasma proteins with molecular radii of 45-55 A and different isoelectric points such as IgG (pI = 7.4) and ceruloplasmin (pI = 4.4) increase selectively in normoalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients, urinary albumin excretion rate (AER), renal clearances of IgG, ceruloplasmin and alpha2-macroglobulin, and creatinine clearance (Ccr) were studied in timed overnight urine samples of 36 diabetic outpatients and 16 control subjects.

3966 11469387 Aiming to determine the functional and structural alterations of the glomerular wall in the early stages of diabetes, we have studied the distribution of endogenous circulating albumin and type IV collagen in the glomerular basement membrane, using the immunocytochemical approach.
3967 11471308 The following data, collected immediately before the initiation of RRT, were included as independent variables: demographic and clinical characteristics, including the nutritional status established by the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), follow-up time in the predialysis clinic (less or longer than 3 months), EPO therapy, vascular access, renal function (creatinine and urea clearances, and Kt/V urea), hematological and biochemical data including serum albumin, bicarbonate, transferrin, PTH and C-Reactive protein, as well as the protein catabolic rate and the percent of lean body mass normalized for ideal body weight, calculated from the 24 h total urine excretion of nitrogen and creatinine.
3968 11479436 The protraction of action of this kind of insulin is due to its binding with serum and interstitial albumin and subsequent slow release.
3969 11479436 However, in any case, insulin therapy should aim to near - normalise not only mean blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin values but also postprandial blood glucose level which represent an independent risk factor an for diabetic complications.

4017 11522679 Glomerular volume, glomerular content of TGF-beta and collagen IV, renal cortical MDA, and urinary excretion of TGF-beta in D-SOD mice did not differ significantly from corresponding values in either the nondiabetic SOD or WT mice.
4018 11522679 In vitro infection of mesangial cells (MC) with a recombinant adenovirus encoding human SOD-1 increased SOD-1 activity threefold over control cells and prevented the reduction of aconitase activity, an index of cellular superoxide, and the increase in collagen synthesis that otherwise occurred in control MC in response to culture with 300 or 500 mg/dl glucose.
4019 11522680 We found that HepG2 cells cultured with 10 or 50 nmol/l insulin or 300 micromol/l albumin-bound linoleic acid changed their PG secretion.
4020 11522680 Insulin caused a moderate increase in mRNA for versican (secreted CS PG), whereas linoleic acid markedly decreased mRNA for versican in HepG2 cells, as did the peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor-alpha agonist bezafibrate.
4021 11522680 The effects of insulin or linoleic acid on syndecan 1, a cell surface HS PG, were similar to those on versican, but less pronounced.
4022 11532683 Retrospective data collected monthly for 3 months included patients' hematocrit, dose of EPO, urea reduction ratio (URR), total amount of intravenous iron administered, serum albumin concentration, transferrin saturation, and time of day patient underwent dialysis.
4023 11532686 Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentration also was not elevated, but CRI was associated with elevated serum triglyceride and plasma homocysteine levels and reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, hemoglobin, and serum albumin concentrations.
4024 11532686 Across the spectrum of CRI, more severe renal dysfunction was associated with lower levels of diastolic blood pressure, LDL and HDL cholesterol, albumin, and hemoglobin, but increased levels of plasma homocysteine.
4025 11532686 Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentration also was not elevated, but CRI was associated with elevated serum triglyceride and plasma homocysteine levels and reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, hemoglobin, and serum albumin concentrations.
4026 11532686 Across the spectrum of CRI, more severe renal dysfunction was associated with lower levels of diastolic blood pressure, LDL and HDL cholesterol, albumin, and hemoglobin, but increased levels of plasma homocysteine.
4027 11561219 Urinary excretion of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) 7-36 amide in human type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus.
4028 11561219 The urinary excretion of insulinotropic glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) was investigated as an indicator of renal tubular integrity in 10 healthy subjects and in 3 groups of type 2 diabetic patients with different degrees of urinary albumin excretion rate.
4029 11569481 Lack of effect of fish oil supplementation on coagulation and transcapillary escape rate of albumin in insulin-dependent diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy.
4030 11571295 In this report, we show that injection of insulin and glycated albumin (Alb-AGE) to mice increases VEGF mRNA expression in eyes.
4031 11571295 Insulin and Alb-AGE stimulate VEGF mRNA and protein expression in retinal epithelial cells (ARPE-19).
4032 11571295 Alb-AGE-induced VEGF expression is not modulated by the use of antioxidants, N-acetyl-l-cysteine or pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate, or by an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), wortmannin.
4033 11571295 However, using an inhibitor of ERK activation, U0126, we show that Alb-AGE stimulates VEGF expression through an ERK-dependent pathway.
4034 11571295 Accordingly, we found that Alb-AGE activated mitogen-activate protein kinase, ERK1/2, JNK1/2, but not p38, and that Alb-AGE did not activate PI3K and PKB.
4035 11571295 Moreover, Alb-AGE activated the transcription factor, hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) DNA binding activity.
4036 11571295 This activation is mediated by an increase in accumulation of the HIF-1alpha protein through an ERK-dependent pathway.
4037 11571295 Thus, stimulation of VEGF expression by Alb-AGE, through the activation of HIF-1, could play an important role in the development of diabetic retinopathy.
4038 11574423 All 5,888 participants had baseline testing, including FG and markers of inflammation: white blood cell and platelet counts and albumin, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein (CRP), and factor VIIIc levels.
4039 11576932 In mesangial and endothelial cells, the AGE-RAGE interaction caused enhanced formation of oxygen radicals with subsequent activation of nuclear factor-kappaB and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha), growth factors (transforming growth factor-beta1 [TGF-beta1], insulin-like growth factor-1), and adhesion molecules (vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, intercellular adhesion molecule-1).
4040 11576932 In tubular cells, incubation with AGE albumin was followed by stimulation of the mitogen-activating protein (MAP) kinase pathway and its downstream target, the activating protien-1 (AP-1) complex, TGF-beta1 overexpression, enhanced protein kinase C activity, decreased cell proliferation, and impaired protein degradation rate, in part caused by decreased cathepsin activities.
4041 11576932 The pathogenic relevance of AGEs was further verified by in vivo experiments in euglycemic rats and mice by the parenteral administration of AGE albumin, leading in the glomeruli to TGF-beta1 overproduction, enhanced gene expression of ECM proteins, and morphological lesions similar to those of DN.
4042 11576932 In mesangial and endothelial cells, the AGE-RAGE interaction caused enhanced formation of oxygen radicals with subsequent activation of nuclear factor-kappaB and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha), growth factors (transforming growth factor-beta1 [TGF-beta1], insulin-like growth factor-1), and adhesion molecules (vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, intercellular adhesion molecule-1).
4043 11576932 In tubular cells, incubation with AGE albumin was followed by stimulation of the mitogen-activating protein (MAP) kinase pathway and its downstream target, the activating protien-1 (AP-1) complex, TGF-beta1 overexpression, enhanced protein kinase C activity, decreased cell proliferation, and impaired protein degradation rate, in part caused by decreased cathepsin activities.
4044 11576932 The pathogenic relevance of AGEs was further verified by in vivo experiments in euglycemic rats and mice by the parenteral administration of AGE albumin, leading in the glomeruli to TGF-beta1 overproduction, enhanced gene expression of ECM proteins, and morphological lesions similar to those of DN.
4045 11576945 After 72 hours of incubation with AGEs-bovine serum albumin (BSA) (1,000 microgram/mL), there was significant inhibition of the synthesis of type I collagen and osteocalcin in response to stimulation with 10(-10) to 10(-8) M of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol.
4046 11603572 Although no significant difference was found between the two groups for age, gender, body mass index, duration of diabetes, duration of insulin treatment, blood pressure, serum creatinine, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), daily dose of insulin, daily insulin injection times, or treatment of hypertension, the AIA(+) group had a significantly higher urinary albumin to creatinine ratio and urinary protein to creatinine ratio than the AIA(-) group (p < 0.05).
4047 11672430 Albumin-derived advanced glycation end-products trigger the disruption of the vascular endothelial cadherin complex in cultured human and murine endothelial cells.
4048 11672430 The aim of the present study was to determine whether AGEs affect EC lateral junction proteins, with particular regard to the vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) complex.
4049 11672430 AGE-BSA, but not unmodified BSA, was found to induce decreases in the levels of VE-cadherin, beta-catenin and gamma-catenin in the complex and in total cell extracts, as well as a marked reduction in the amount of VE-cadherin present at the cell surface.
4050 11672430 In contrast, the level of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), which is located at lateral junctions, was not altered.
4051 11679443 The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of hypotensive and subhypotensive dosages of the ACE inhibitor quinapril ex vivo and of its active metabolite quinaprilat in vitro on the glomerular albumin permeability (P(alb)) defect in the early phases of experimental diabetes.
4052 11685557 In conclusion, albuminuria in early-stage diabetic rats can be partly explained by a decreased albumin endocytosis with reduced megalin expression and with increased lipid peroxidation in the proximal tubule.

4055 11704692 At baseline, those who died had significantly higher serum creatinine (p=0.001) and urine albumin/creatinine ratio (p=0.016), greater prevalence of retinopathy (p=0.006), lower serum apolipoprotein A1 (p=0.046), and lower daily insulin dose (p=0.024) than those who survived.
4056 11704692 The CAD group also had higher baseline serum creatinine (p=0.02), lower HDL cholesterol (p=0.004) and apolipoprotein A1 (p=0.007) and higher LDL cholesterol (p=0.028) and apolipoprotein B concentrations (p=0.027).
4057 11704692 Under logistic regression analysis (adjusted for age and sex), baseline urine albumin/creatinine ratio (p=0.003), presence of retinopathy (p=0.004), serum creatinine (p=0.028), and serum urea (p=0.034) were the most powerful predictors of mortality, while duration of diabetes (p<0.0001), baseline HDL cholesterol (p=0.012), serum creatinine (p=0.02), apolipoprotein B (p=0.038), LDL cholesterol (p=0.039), and systolic blood pressure (p=0.055) were the strongest predictors of CAD.

4059 11704692 The CAD group also had higher baseline serum creatinine (p=0.02), lower HDL cholesterol (p=0.004) and apolipoprotein A1 (p=0.007) and higher LDL cholesterol (p=0.028) and apolipoprotein B concentrations (p=0.027).
4060 11704692 Under logistic regression analysis (adjusted for age and sex), baseline urine albumin/creatinine ratio (p=0.003), presence of retinopathy (p=0.004), serum creatinine (p=0.028), and serum urea (p=0.034) were the most powerful predictors of mortality, while duration of diabetes (p<0.0001), baseline HDL cholesterol (p=0.012), serum creatinine (p=0.02), apolipoprotein B (p=0.038), LDL cholesterol (p=0.039), and systolic blood pressure (p=0.055) were the strongest predictors of CAD.

4062 11712400 B29Lys-myristoyl. des-B30 human insulin(NN-304), which metabolic action is prolonged by association of the fatty acid residue to albumin in the blood and peripheral tissues, belongs to a new class of soluble long-acting insulin analogs.
4063 11723050 At baseline and after insulin infusion, MBV and MFV were measured by CEU during continuous intravenous infusion of albumin microbubbles with intermittent harmonic ultrasound imaging of the forearm deep flexor muscles.
4064 11723063 In contrast to the short and transient activation of NF-kappaB in vitro, we observed a long-lasting sustained activation of NF-kappaB in the absence of decreased IkappaBalpha in mononuclear cells from patients with type 1 diabetes.
4065 11723063 As a mechanism, we propose that binding of ligands such as advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs), members of the S100 family, or amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta) to the transmembrane receptor for AGE (RAGE) results in protein synthesis-dependent sustained activation of NF-kappaB both in vitro and in vivo.
4066 11723063 Infusion of AGE-albumin into mice bearing a beta-globin reporter transgene under control of NF-kappaB also resulted in prolonged expression of the reporter transgene.
4067 11723063 In vitro studies showed that RAGE-expressing cells induced sustained translocation of NF-kappaB (p50/p65) from the cytoplasm into the nucleus for >1 week.
4068 11723063 Sustained NF-kappaB activation by ligands of RAGE was mediated by initial degradation of IkappaB proteins followed by new synthesis of NF-kappaBp65 mRNA and protein in the presence of newly synthesized IkappaBalpha and IkappaBbeta.

4107 11799073 In the present study, we show that glycated serum albumin (GSA) induces a parallel activation of the redox-responsive transcription factors (nuclear factor kappaB) and AP-1 and increases activity of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and p38 MAPK in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).
4108 11799073 GSA increased expression of early response genes, c-fos and c-jun, and inflammatory genes, monocyte chemoattractant peptide (MCP-1), and interleukin (IL)-6.
4109 11799073 These effects were comparable to bacterial lipopolysaccharide, tumor necrosis factor-alphaa, (TNF-alphaa), IL-1alphab, angiotensin II, epidermal growth factor, and the phorbol ester PMA.
4110 11799073 One of signaling pathways by which GSA activates VSMCs appears to be via nuclear factor kappaB activation, leading to induction of MCP-1 and IL-6 gene expression, comparable to the effects of lipopolysaccharide, TNF-alphaa, and IL-1alphab.
4111 11799073 These effects are comparable to the effects of angiotensin II, epidermal growth factor, and PMA.
4112 11799073 Incubation of VSMCs with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine suppressed GSA-elicited mRNA induction of MCP-1 and IL-6.
4113 11799073 Inhibition of p38 MAPK but not ERK caused attenuation of MCP-1 and IL-6 mRNA induction.
4114 11799261 Effect of cerivastatin on urinary albumin excretion and plasma endothelin-1 concentrations in type 2 diabetes patients with microalbuminuria and dyslipidemia.
4115 11805180 For both data sets, PVD was positively associated with the duration of dialysis (vintage) and malnourished status and was negatively associated with serum albumin and parathyroid hormone levels and predialysis diastolic BP.
4116 11833057 Estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), a measure of insulin resistance, was calculated from glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1)), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and hypertension using an equation previously validated with hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp studies.
4117 11833057 Cox modeling suggested that duration (P <.001), HbA(1) (P <.001), hypertension (P =.006), log albumin excretion rate (P =.011), and heart rate (P =.028) predicted events independently.
4118 11833057 The overall model with HbA(1) and hypertension was significantly better than with eGDR, while the alternate models in men were similar.

4143 11855792 Concentration of fibrinogen was measured by immunonephelometry, C-reactive protein by immunoturbidimetry, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and viscosity of plasma and of whole blood was determined by rotation viscosimetry.
4144 11855792 Concentrations of inflammatory parameters were well correlated with each other (p<0.05 for all correlations): IL-6 with C-reactive protein (r=0.48), and C-reactive protein with fibrinogen (r=0.41).
4145 11855792 While no associations were found with concentrations of C-reactive protein or IL-6, urinary albumin excretion was correlated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r=0.47) and with fibrinogen concentration (r=0.39; p<0.05).
4146 11855792 In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, urinary albumin excretion was not associated with concentrations of IL-6 or C-reactive protein.

4148 11856912 The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear receptors that are expressed in a variety of tissues, including the liver (PPARalpha), adipose tissue, vascular smooth muscle, the heart, skeletal muscle, and the kidney (PPARgamma).
4149 11856912 Although the mechanisms by which all these actions occur have not been completely worked out, ligands to these receptors function to improve lipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity, endothelial dysfunction and urinary albumin excretion in patients with diabetes.
4150 11862301 We evaluated the effects of both terazosin, a selective alpha-one-adrenergic blocker, and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), a standard mild antihypertensive agent, on glycemic control, urinary albumin excretion rate overnight total cholesterol, and other parameters in non--insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients.

4152 11874712 Inhibition of circulating and renal IGF-I by long-acting somatostatin analogues reduces renal and glomerular growth and urinary albumin excretion in diabetic rats.
4153 11874712 The aim of the present study was to examine renal and glomerular growth in early experimental diabetes in mice along with changes in the GH/IGF-I axis following treatment with the somatostatin analogue octreotide.
4154 11874712 In conclusion, this new diabetic mouse model mimicking human type 1 diabetes is characterised by GH hypersecretion and the somatostatin analogue octreotide is able to prevent renal and glomerular growth, probably mediated through changes in circulating GH and local kidney IGF-I levels.

4164 11950696 C-reactive protein and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 are associated with elevated urinary albumin excretion but do not explain its link with cardiovascular risk.
4165 11950696 High levels of von Willebrand factor, soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were used as markers of endothelial dysfunction, leukocyte adhesion, and low-grade inflammation, respectively.
4166 11950696 Adjustment for levels of von Willebrand factor, sVCAM-1, or CRP did not materially affect the results, nor did additional adjustment for the presence of hypertension, retinopathy, and cardiovascular disease and for levels of homocysteine, triglycerides, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol.

4274 12126770 Both higher BMI and urinary albumin excretion rate were associated with higher apoB(100) levels (1.02 +/- 0.25 ( +/- S.D.) g/l in normal weight, 1.07 +/- 0.22 g/l in overweight and 1.14 +/- 0.25 g/l in obese individuals; P < 0.01; 1.09 +/- 0.23 g/l in normoalbuminuric patients, 1.06 +/- 0.22 g/l if urinary albumin excretion rate 20-50 microg/min and 1.17 +/- 0.27 g/l if urinary albumin excretion rate > 50 microg/min; P < 0.05).
4275 12126770 Thus apoB(100) levels show an association with the metabolic syndrome and, hypothetically, to insulin-insensitivity in Type 2 diabetes.
4276 12126770 Body-mass index (BMI), waist:hip ratio (WHR), urinary albumin excretion rate, presence or absence of hypertension, uric acid levels, and apoB(100) levels were assessed.
4277 12126770 Both higher BMI and urinary albumin excretion rate were associated with higher apoB(100) levels (1.02 +/- 0.25 ( +/- S.D.) g/l in normal weight, 1.07 +/- 0.22 g/l in overweight and 1.14 +/- 0.25 g/l in obese individuals; P < 0.01; 1.09 +/- 0.23 g/l in normoalbuminuric patients, 1.06 +/- 0.22 g/l if urinary albumin excretion rate 20-50 microg/min and 1.17 +/- 0.27 g/l if urinary albumin excretion rate > 50 microg/min; P < 0.05).
4278 12126770 Thus apoB(100) levels show an association with the metabolic syndrome and, hypothetically, to insulin-insensitivity in Type 2 diabetes.
4279 12126783 ACE and PC-1 gene polymorphisms in normoalbuminuric Type 1 diabetic patients: a 10-year prospective study.
4280 12126783 The aim of this study was to analyze the role of ACE gene insertion/deletion (I/D) and PC-1 gene K121Q polymorphisms in the changes of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), and blood pressure (BP) levels in a cohort of normoalbuminuric Type 1 diabetic patients.
4281 12126783 The presence of ACE gene I/D and PC-1 gene K121Q polymorphisms was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction enzyme techniques.
4282 12138145 This relationship retained significance when gender, age, weight, presence of diabetes, mode of first dialysis, initial dialysis access, hemoglobin, serum albumin, blood leukocyte count, Wright/Khan index, and eC(Cr) at the start of dialysis were taken into account.
4283 12138144 Independent predictors of having a catheter for hemodialysis were female gender, white race, incident to hemodialysis status, and lower hemoglobin and serum albumin.
4284 12144123 Plasma endothelin-1 levels and albumin excretion rate in normotensive, microalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients.
4285 12147223 Here, we show that adducts of N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), a major AGE, and bovine serum albumin (CML-BSA) stimulated gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-GCS), which is a key enzyme of glutathione (GSH) synthesis, in RAW264.7 mouse macrophage-like cells.
4286 12147223 CML-BSA also stimulated DNA-binding activity of activator protein-1 (AP-1) within 3h, but the stimulatory effect decreased in 5h, and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) with a peak activity at 1h and the stimulatory effect diminished in 3h.
4287 12147223 CML-BSA also stimulated the activity of protein kinase C, Ras/Raf-1, and MEK/ERK1/2.
4288 12147223 Inhibition of ERK1/2 abolished CML-BSA-stimulated AP-1 DNA-binding activity and gamma-GCSh mRNA expression.
4289 12200798 Malnutrition and hypoalbuminemia were associated with low plasma sAA levels (tHcy, Met, and Tau); tCys was related to s-albumin level, but not SGNA score.
4290 12213354 We have recently demonstrated that serotonin (5-HT) increases the production of type 4 collagen by cultured human mesangial cells.
4291 12213354 We then investigated the effects of 24-month treatment with sarpogrelate hydrochloride, a 5-HT(A2) receptor antagonist, on urinary albumin level in 10 type 2 diabetics with microalbuminuria, compared with not treated control group.
4292 12214132 In all groups of patients, pentosidine was independent of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) and the early glycation marker fructosamine and appeared to be an independent marker, mainly bound to serum albumin.
4293 12242049 Advanced glycation end products (AGE), which are generated through long-term exposure of proteins to glucose, also behave as active ligands for some scavenger receptors, including class A scavenger receptor (SR-A) and class B scavenger receptors such as CD36 and scavenger receptor, class B, type I (SR-BI).
4294 12242049 Using Chinese hamster ovary cells overexpressing SR-BI (CHO-SR-BI cells), it was demonstrated that AGE-bovine serum albumin binds to SR-BI and inhibits selective uptake of HDL-CE by CHO-SR-BI cells as well as cholesterol efflux from CHO-SR-BI cells to HDL, suggesting potential roles of AGE in diabetic dyslipidemia and accelerated atherosclerosis in diabetes.
4295 12379508 In this study, the effects of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, enalapril maleate, on diabetic angiopathy were examined in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic (STZ-DM) rats by monitoring variations in renal function and ET-1 concentrations in blood and organ tissues.
4296 12379508 Significant increases in kidney weight and in concentrations of urinary albumin, N-acetyl-fl-d-glucosamidase (NAG) and serum ET-1 were observed in the STZ-DM rats as compared with the non-diabetic rats, and the concentration of ET-1 in the kidneys tended to be increased.
4297 12379508 After administration of the ACE inhibitor, increased concentrations of urinary albumin and NAG in the STZ-DM rats were reduced to the control values with a slight improvement in the electron microscopic changes.

4302 12435880 Protein kinase C beta isoenzymes in diabetic kidneys and their relation to nephroprotective actions of the ACE inhibitor lisinopril.
4303 12435880 Inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) or beta isoforms of protein kinase C (PKC) are nephroprotective in diabetes mellitus.
4304 12435880 We investigated the influence of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus and of treatment with the ACE inhibitor lisinopril (4 mg/kg p.o. twice daily for 4 weeks) on the expression of PKC beta 1 and PKC beta 2 in the renal cortex of female Sprague-Dawley rats.
4305 12435880 Lisinopril lowered renocortical albumin content and proteinuria in STZ diabetes and attenuated the enhanced accumulation of macrophages expressing PKC beta 2 as well as the increase of membrane-associated expression of PKC beta 1 and PKC beta 2 in the renal cortex.
4306 12435880 The data suggest that the nephroprotective actions of the ACE inhibitor lisinopril in experimental diabetes mellitus were associated with and thus could be mediated in part by inhibition of diabetes-induced activation of PKC beta isoenzymes in the renal cortex.
4307 12451283 In DM patients (30 women and 37 men aged between 17 and 78 y) with mellitus type 1 (n = 37) and type 2 (n = 30) diabetes, the authors measured the lipoproteins (HDL, LDL, and VLDL), cholesterol, triglycerides, albumin, alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AAG), free fatty acids (FFA), glycosylated hemoglobin, and the unbound fraction (Fu) and the bound/free ratio (B/F) of propofol.
4308 12453911 Since advanced glycation end products (AGEs; AGE-albumin) and in particular carboxymethyllysine (CML) are known to play a central role in diabetic nephropathy, we studied the activation of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) in tubular epithelial cells in vivo and in vitro by AGE-albumin and CML.
4309 12453911 Five of eight NF-kappaBp65 antigen-positive cells stained positive for interleukin-6 (IL-6) antigen (62%), while only one of the NF-kappaB-negative cells showed IL-6 positivity. pTECs in the urine sediment correlated positively with albuminuria (r = 0.57, P < 0.0001) and CML excretion (r = 0.55, P < 0.0001).
4310 12453911 Stimulation of NF-kappaB binding activity was dose dependent and was one-half maximal at 250 nmol/l AGE-albumin or CML and time dependent at a maximum of activation after 4 days.
4311 12453911 Functional relevance of the observed NF-kappaB activation was demonstrated in pTECs transfected with a NF-kappaB-driven luciferase reporter plasmid and was associated with an increased release of IL-6 into the supernatant.
4312 12453911 The AGE- and CML-dependent activation of NF-kappaBp65 and NF-kappaB-dependent IL-6 expression could be inhibited using the soluble form of the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) (soluble RAGE [sRAGE]), RAGE-specific antibody, or the antioxidant thioctic acid.
4313 12453911 In addition transcriptional activity and IL-6 release from transfected cells could be inhibited by overexpression of the NF-kappaB-specific inhibitor kappaBalpha.
4314 12453911 The findings that excreted pTECs demonstrate activated NF-kappaB and IL-6 antigen and that AGE-albumin and CML lead to a perpetuated activation of NF-kappaB in vitro infer that a perpetuated increase in proinflammtory gene products, such as IL-6, plays a role in damaging the renal tubule.

4329 12453980 Circulating and urinary transforming growth factor beta1, Amadori albumin, and complications of type 1 diabetes: the EURODIAB prospective complications study.
4330 12466317 The review discussed those studies that directly and blindly compared CCB with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and with angiotensin II AT(1) receptor blockers (ARB).
4331 12466317 With regard to the outcome of renal complications, both ARB and ACE inhibitors more effectively prevented the progression of renal damage among the patients with overt nephropathy than CCB.
4332 12466317 However, ACE inhibitors and ARB more markedly decreased the rate of albumin excretion rate in the range of both microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria.
4333 12472197 Serum hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and in twenty-four hour urinary albumin excretion rates (UAER) were measured at the same time.
4334 12472197 A relationship was found between serum levels of this collagen IV and the presence of diabetic nephropathy.
4335 12472197 That is, serum levels of type IV collagen in diabetic nephropathy were significantly higher than those found in non-insulin-dependent diabetic (NIDDM) patients without nephropathy and in healthy subjects (HS).
4336 12473645 FEEL-1 and FEEL-2 are endocytic receptors for advanced glycation end products.
4337 12473645 Receptors for AGEs include scavenger receptors, which recognize acetylated low density lipoproteins (Ac-LDL) such as scavenger receptor class AI/AII (SR-A), cell surface glycoprotein CD36, scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), and lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1.
4338 12473645 The broad ligand repertoire of these receptors as well as the diversity of the receptors for AGEs have prompted us to examine whether AGEs are also recognized by the novel scavenger receptors, which we have recently isolated from a cDNA library prepared from human umbilical vein endothelial cells, such as the scavenger receptor expressed by endothelial cells-I (SREC-I); the fasciclin EGF-like, laminin-type EGF-like, and link domain-containing scavenger receptor-1 (FEEL-1); and its paralogous protein, FEEL-2.
4339 12473645 At 4 degrees C, (125)I-AGE-bovine serum albumin (BSA) exhibited high affinity specific binding to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells overexpressing FEEL-1 (CHO-FEEL-1) and FEEL-2 (CHO-FEEL-2) with K(d) of 2.55 and 1.68 microg/ml, respectively, but not to CHO cells expressing SREC (CHO-SREC) and parent CHO cells.
4340 12473645 At 37 degrees C, (125)I-AGE-BSA was taken up and degraded by CHO-FEEL-1 and CHO-FEEL-2 cells but not by CHO-SREC and parent CHO cells.
4341 12473645 The (125)I-AGE-BSA binding to CHO-FEEL-1 and CHO-FEEL-2 cells was effectively inhibited by Ac-LDL and polyanionic SR-A inhibitors such as fucoidan, polyinosinic acids, and dextran sulfate but not by native LDL, oxidized LDL, or HDL.

4363 12505750 To test this hypothesis, we examined urinary excretion levels of MCP-1 and N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG), a sensitive marker of renal tubular damage, in Japanese Type II diabetic patients with normoalbuminuria (n=29), microalbuminuria (n=25), and macroalbuminuria (n=18).
4364 12505750 Furthermore, the urinary MCP-1 excretion level was positively correlated with urinary excretion levels of albumin (r=.816, P<.001) and NAG (r=.569, P<.001) in all subjects.
4365 12505865 A good correlation was seen between the change in urinary oxidized albumin and MCP-1 levels (r = 0.61, P = 0.012).
4366 12506150 After controlling for demographic and geographic variables, Hispanics compared with the referent group, non-Hispanic Whites, were more likely to have a mean serum albumin > or = 4.0/3.7 g/dL (BCG/BCP) (1.5 [1.2 to 1.7]; P < 0.001) and as likely to have a mean Kt/V > or = 1.2, mean hemoglobin > or = 11 g/dL, and an arteriovenous fistula as their vascular access.
4367 12510702 Among the non-conventional risk factors, serum creatinine, factor VIII, von Willebrand factor, and white blood cell count were positively and serum albumin negatively and independently associated with CVD incidence.
4368 12529398 Intriguingly, when the inactivated Hnf-1alpha gene was revived in liver (hepatic Hnf-1alpha revived) by the Cre recombinase driven by an albumin promoter, the Hnf-1alpha(kin/kin) mice, although severely diabetic, grew normally and did not develop any of the liver dysfunctions.

4372 12574207 Increased plasma thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor levels in normotensive type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria.
4373 12574207 Recently, a new potent inhibitor of fibrinolysis, the thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI), has been isolated from human plasma.
4374 12574207 In the present study, we investigated the plasma levels of TAFI and its relation to urinary albumin excretion in normotensive diabetic patients with normo- and microalbuminuria.
4375 12574207 The plasma level of thrombin-antithrombin complex was significantly increased (22.1 +/- 2.6 vs. 8.3 +/- 1.0 nmol/liter; P < 0.05), whereas the D-dimer/thrombin-antithrombin complex ratio was significantly decreased (15.7 +/- 1.4 vs. 26.5 +/- 2.2; P < 0.05), showing the occurrence of hypercoagulability and hypofibrinolysis in diabetic patients.
4376 12574207 Univariate analysis showed that the plasma TAFI levels are significantly and proportionally correlated with urinary albumin excretion rate (r = 0.58; P < 0.005) and with plasma soluble thrombomodulin level, a marker of endothelial cell damage, in all diabetic patients (r = 0.42; P < 0.01).

4404 12618270 In a simple regression analyses of the 566 subjects without diseases, plasma hsCRP positively correlated with male gender, smoking, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, white blood cell count, blood hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, serum gamma-GTP, uric acid and triglycerides, and inversely correlated with serum albumin and HDL-cholesterol.
4405 12618528 Liver-specific disruption of PPARgamma in leptin-deficient mice improves fatty liver but aggravates diabetic phenotypes.
4406 12618528 To elucidate the function of PPARgamma in leptin-deficient mouse (ob/ob) liver, a PPARgamma liver-null mouse on an ob/ob background, ob/ob-PPARgamma(fl/fl)AlbCre(+), was produced using a floxed PPARgamma allele, PPARgamma(fl/fl), and Cre recombinase under control of the albumin promoter (AlbCre).
4407 12618528 Messenger RNA levels of the hepatic lipogenic genes, fatty acid synthase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1, were reduced in ob/ob-PPARgamma(fl/fl)AlbCre(+) mice, and the levels of serum TG and FFA in ob/ob-PPARgamma(fl/fl)AlbCre(+) mice were significantly higher than in the control ob/ob-PPARgamma(fl/fl)AlbCre(-) mice.
4408 12618528 The deficiency of hepatic PPARgamma further aggravated the severity of diabetes in ob/ob mice due to decreased insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat.
4409 12618528 These data indicate that hepatic PPARgamma plays a critical role in the regulation of TG content and in the homeostasis of blood glucose and insulin resistance in steatotic diabetic mice.
4410 12621157 This study investigated whether AGE proteins serve as ligands for SR-BI and affect SR-BI-mediated cholesterol transport using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells overexpressing hamster SR-BI (CHO-SR-BI cells).

4411 12633789 Serum PTH (1-84), phosphate, total calcium, urea, creatinine, albumin, type I collagen C-telopeptides (CT(x)), a bone resorption marker, and procollagen type I amino-terminal propeptide (PINP), a bone formation marker, were measured on all samples.
4412 12633789 In AGHD patients, compared to controls the maximum correlation between PTH/phosphate (r = 0.88, P = 0.007), PTH/CTx (r = 0.61, P = 0.027), and PTH/PINP (r = 0.65, P = 0.028) was observed when the lag time was reduced by 1.5 h in all variables, with changes in PTH and phosphate occurring at concurrent time points.
4413 12648610 Impact of renal denervation on renal content of GLUT1, albuminuria and urinary TGF-beta1 in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
4414 12648610 This study was designed to evaluate the effects of bilateral denervation of the kidneys of streptozotocin-diabetic rats, an experimental model that presents diabetic nephropathy with increased abundance of cortical GLUT1 in the kidney and increased urinary excretion of albumin and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1).
4415 12648610 Twenty-four-hour urinary TGF-beta1 (ELISA), urinary albumin (electroimmunoassay) and GLUT1 protein levels (Western blotting) in the renal cortex and medulla were evaluated in diabetic (n=13) and control (n=13) rats 45 days after streptozotocin injection, submitted or not to surgical renal denervation.
4416 12648610 However, renal denervation did not determine any changes in urinary albumin and urinary TGF-beta1 in both diabetic (127.3+/-12 microg/24 h and 111.8+/-24 ng mg(-1) creatinine, respectively) and control rats (45.9+/-3 microg/24 h and 13.4+/-4 ng mg(-1) creatinine, respectively).
4417 12648610 In conclusion, early-phase renal denervation in streptozotocin-diabetic rats produces a normalisation of previously elevated cortical GLUT1 protein content, but is not enough for reverting the increased urinary TGF-beta1 and albuminuria of diabetes.

4428 12651605 Postulated mechanisms include roles for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), produced by podocytes and contributing to enhanced excretion of urinary albumin and recruitment/activation of inflammatory cells, and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), elicited largely from mesangial cells and driving production of extracellular matrix.
4429 12651605 We propose that activation of RAGE contributes to expression of VEGF and enhanced attraction/activation of inflammatory cells in the diabetic glomerulus, thereby setting the stage for mesangial activation and TGF-beta production; processes which converge to cause albuminuria and glomerulosclerosis.

4448 12677169 Glycated albumin increases oxidative stress, activates NF-kappa B and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and stimulates ERK-dependent transforming growth factor-beta 1 production in macrophage RAW cells.
4449 12677169 RAW cells were cultured in medium containing 5.5 mmol/L glucose and glycated or nonglycated albumin, with and without the addition of PD98059, a specific inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), followed by analysis of phosphorylated ERK and the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B and measurement of cellular content of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and the concentration of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta(1) in the spent medium.

4464 12685235 Long-term use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors was beneficial in patients with increased urinary albumin excretion.
4465 12694338 No differences were noted in plasma IL-6 levels between the genotype groups, whereas the pentosidine levels were higher in the GG group (28.4 pmol/mg albumin [range, 8.5 to 123 pmol/mg albumin]) compared to the other two groups (21.4 pmol/mg albumin [range, 7.6 to 384 pmol/mg albumin; P < 0.05]).
4466 12703884 Diabetic and nondiabetic status together with the other risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as age, sex, length of time on RRT, smoking and elevated phosphorus levels history, clinical diagnosis of IHD, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular disease, mean blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, calcium, phosphate, albumin, haemoglobin, haematocrit and weekly dose of erythropoietin were derived from clinical records.
4467 12724052 Inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor antagonists is particularly effective at reducing the albumin excretion rate, but whether these classes of drugs are more beneficial in patients with microalbuminuria remains to be determined.
4468 12759891 Elevated levels of interleukin-18 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in serum of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: relationship with diabetic nephropathy.
4469 12759891 To compare levels of interleukin (IL)-18, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and IL-6 in serum, we studied 151 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with various degrees of nephropathy, as well as 80 healthy volunteers.
4470 12759891 IL-18, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 in serum were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with the respective mouse monoclonal antibodies.
4471 12759891 Significant differences in serum levels of IL-18 and TNF-alpha were observed between the patients and control subjects (IL-18, 278.0 +/- 11.9 pg/mL v 172.8 +/- 7.7 pg/mL, P <.0001; TNF-alpha, 2.41 +/- 0.18 pg/mL v 0.46 +/- 0.18 pg/mL, P <.0001), whereas that of IL-6 was not different between the two groups (0.73 +/- 0.10 pg/mL v 0.65 +/- 0.08 pg/mL, difference not significant [NS]), although patients with nephropathy showed higher levels.
4472 12759891 In addition, IL-18 levels were increased in diabetic patients with the development of urinary albumin excretion, with the highest found in those with microalbuminuria (<30 micro g/mg creatinine, 252.7 +/- 16.4 pg/mL; 30 to >300 micro g/mg creatinine, 352.7 +/- 35.2 pg/mL; >>300 micro g/mg creatinine, 350.0 +/- 16.0 pg/mL).
4473 12759891 Similarly, TNF-alpha and IL-6 in diabetic patients with microalbuminuria or clinical albuminuria were significantly increased as compared with those without albuminuria (TNF-alpha, 3.20 +/- 0.41 pg/mL v 1.94 +/- 0.18 pg/mL; IL-6, 1.64 +/- 1.11 pg/mL v 0.51 +/- 0.05 pg/mL, P <.05, respectively).
4474 12759891 These results suggest that serum levels of IL-18, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 may have some etiopathogenic roles in diabetic nephropathy.
4475 12761433 The patients with higher Kt/V, higher levels of iron and albumin, normal levels of phosphorus and parathyroid hormone (PTH) requested lower doses of erythropoietin (analysis of the patients who were on hemodialysis in 2000 more than 6 months).
4476 12767930 In order to evaluate a role of Smad3, one of the major signaling molecules downstream of TGF-beta, in the pathogenesis of diabetic glomerulopathy, Smad3-null mice were made diabetic with streptozotocin injection and analyzed 4 weeks after induction of diabetes.
4477 12767930 Urinary albumin excretion was dramatically increased in wild-type diabetic mice, whereas Smad3-null diabetic mice did not show any overt albuminuria.
4478 12767930 Northern blotting revealed that mRNA levels of fibronectin and alpha 3 chain of type IV collagen (alpha 3Col4) in renal cortex of wild-type diabetic mice were approximately twice as much as those of non-diabetic mice, whereas their mRNA levels were not increased in Smad3-null diabetic mice.
4479 12767930 Glomerular expression of TGF-beta 1, as assessed by real-time PCR, was enhanced to a similar degree in wild-type and smad3-null diabetic mice, indicating that the observed differences between wild-type and Smad3-null mice are not attributable to difference in the expression of TGF-beta 1.
4480 12768043 We measured urinary albumin excretion rate (AER) and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) activity in relation to disease duration, acetylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), hypertension and puberty in 44 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
4481 12769161 Microalbuminuria (defined as an albumin-creatinine ratio of 10-25 mg/mmol on the first-morning urine sample, or an albumin excretion rate of 20-200 microg/min on a timed collection) is present in 20-30% of all patients with type 2 diabetes, and is especially common in those with hypertension, endothelial dysfunction and other features of insulin resistance.
4482 12790799 It is possible that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms by free fatty acids (FFA) plays a role in the failure of pancreatic beta-cell mass expansion to compensate for peripheral insulin resistance in the pathogenesis of type-2 diabetes.
4483 12790799 The effect of lipid moieties on activation of conventional (PKC-alpha and -beta1), novel (PKC-delta) and atypical (PKC-zeta) PKC isoforms was evaluated in an in vitro assay, using biotinylated neurogranin as a substrate.
4484 12790799 It was found that FFA (0.4 mM oleate/complexed to 0.5% bovine serum albumin) inhibited IGF-I-induced activation of protein kinase B (PKB) in the pancreatic beta-cell line (INS-1), but this was alleviated in the presence of the general PKC inhibitor (Gö6850; 1 microM).
4485 12790799 To further investigate whether conventional or novel PKC isoforms adversely affect beta-cell proliferation, the effect of phorbol ester (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate; PMA)-mediated activation of these PKC isoforms on glucose/IGF-I-induced INS-1 cell mitogenesis, and insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-mediated signal transduction was investigated.
4486 12790799 PMA inhibited IGF-I-induced activation of PKB, correlating with inhibition of IGF-I-induced association of IRS-2 with the p85 regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase.
4487 12790799 Thus, FFA/PMA-induced activation of novel PKC isoforms can inhibit glucose/IGF-I-mediated beta-cell mitogenesis, in part by decreasing PKB activation, despite an upregulation of Erk1/2.
4488 12841356 We report the effect of increased glucose concentrations, glycated basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) and bovine serum albumin-derived advanced glycation endproducts (BSA-AGE) on the proliferation of bovine aortic endothelial cells.
4489 12848207 When compared with non-obese children, blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, serum viscosity, serum albumin, and plasma fibrinogen values were found elevated in diabetics and were correlated with SBP and DBP.
4490 12851409 Other changes include down-regulation of protein levels for creatine kinase, voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC-1), HSP60, and Grp75.
4491 12851409 The mitochondria-associated level of albumin was decreased, while the level of catalase was substantially increased.

4563 12955673 Ruboxistaurin (LY333531) mesylate is a bisindolylmaleimide that shows a high degree of specificity within the protein kinase C (PKC) gene family for inhibiting PKC beta isoforms.
4564 12955673 In animal models of diabetes, including the streptozotocin (STZ) rat, Lepr(db)/Lepr(db) mouse, and STZ-Ren 2 rat models, ruboxistaurin normalized glomerular hyperfiltration, decreased urinary albumin excretion, and reduced glomerular transforming growth factor-beta1 and extracellular matrix protein production.

4566 12970360 Human glycated albumin affects glucose metabolism in L6 skeletal muscle cells by impairing insulin-induced insulin receptor substrate (IRS) signaling through a protein kinase C alpha-mediated mechanism.
4567 12970360 Here, we have investigated the action of human glycated albumin (HGA) on insulin signaling in L6 skeletal muscle cells.
4568 12970360 Further, HGA reduced insulin-stimulated serine phosphorylation of PKB and GSK3, but did not alter ERK1/2 activation.
4569 12970360 HGA did not affect either insulin receptor kinase activity or insulin-induced Shc phosphorylation on tyrosine.
4570 12970360 In contrast, insulin-dependent IRS-1 and IRS-2 tyrosine phosphorylation was severely reduced in cells preincubated with HGA for 24 h.
4571 12970360 Insulin-stimulated association of PI3K with IRS-1 and IRS-2, and PI3K activity were reduced by HGA in parallel with the changes in IRS tyrosine phosphorylation, while Grb2-IRS association was unchanged.
4572 12970360 In L6 myotubes, exposure to HGA increased PKC activity by 2-fold resulting in a similar increase in Ser/Thr phosphorylation of IRS-1 and IRS-2.
4573 12970360 BDM also blocked the action of HGA on insulin-stimulated PKB and GSK3 alpha.

4585 14514598 PC-1 amino acid variant Q121 is associated with a lower glomerular filtration rate in type 2 diabetic patients with abnormal albumin excretion rates.
4586 14514644 Several mechanisms, including activation of protein kinase C, advanced glycation end products, and overexpression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, are believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.
4587 14514644 Urinary albumin excretion, glomerular hypertrophy, and mesangial matrix expansion were significantly lower in diabetic ICAM-1(-/-) mice than in diabetic ICAM-1(+/+) mice.
4588 14514644 Moreover, expressions of TGF-beta and type IV collagen in glomeruli were also suppressed in diabetic ICAM-1(-/-) mice.
4589 14516180 Demographic and disease-related factors included age, gender, cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, hematocrit, albumin and C-reactive protein.
4590 14529486 GLP-1 binds with high affinity to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) located on pancreatic beta-cells, and it exerts insulinotropic actions that include the stimulation of insulin gene transcription, insulin biosynthesis, and insulin secretion.
4591 14529486 GLP-1 belongs to a large family of structurally-related hormones and neuropeptides that include glucagon, secretin, GIP, PACAP, and VIP.
4592 14529486 Additional modifications of GLP-1 incorporate fatty acylation and drug affinity complex (DAC) technology to improve serum albumin binding, thereby slowing renal clearance of the peptides.
4593 14529486 This review summarizes structural features and signal transduction properties of GLP-1 and its cognate beta-cell GPCR.
4594 14530509 However, which of the two plasminogen activators (PAs) present in renal tissue, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) or urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), is responsible for plasmin generation and those factors that modulate the activity of this system remain unclear.
4595 14530509 This study utilized mesangial cells isolated from mice with gene deletions for tPA, uPA, and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) to further delineate the role of the PA/plasminogen/plasmin system in ECM accumulation.
4596 14530509 In contrast, ECM degradation by tPA-null mesangial cells was markedly reduced (-78 +/- 1%, n = 12, P < 0.05) compared with controls, whereas tPA/uPA double-null mesangial cells degraded virtually no ECM.
4597 14530509 Previous studies from this laboratory have established that transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGFbeta1) inhibits ECM degradation by cultured mesangial cells by increasing the production of PAI-1, the major physiological PA inhibitor.
4598 14530509 Taken together, these results document the importance of tPA versus uPA in renal plasmin production and indicate that in contrast to elevated glucose, glycated albumin may contribute to ECM accumulation in diabetic nephropathy.
4599 14557465 MBL levels are suppressed by insulin treatment in critically ill patients, and, hypothetically, hepatic portal hypoinsulinemia could lead to increased levels of MBL in patients with type 1 diabetes.
4600 14557465 We measured MBL and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in 132 normoalbuminuric type 1 diabetic patients and 66 healthy age- and sex-matched controls.
4601 14557465 The median MBL concentration was higher in diabetic patients than in healthy controls [1290 micro g/liter (interquartile range, IQR 354-2961 micro g/liter) vs. 970 micro g/liter (IQR 277-1607 micro g/liter), P = 0.025], whereas CRP concentrations were similar among patients and controls [1.42 mg/liter (IQR 0.95-2.21) vs. 1.21 mg/l (IQR 0.74-2.13), NS].
4602 14557465 In diabetic subjects, CRP levels correlated with poor glycemic control as indicated by hemoglobin A(1c) and daily insulin dose, which was not the case with MBL.
4603 14557465 MBL concentrations were positively correlated with urinary albumin excretion (r = 0.22; P = 0.013) and increased with increasing urinary albumin excretion tertile (P = 0.036).
4604 14575288 This study examined (a) whether elevations in urinary albumin, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, retinol-binding protein, and alanine aminopeptidase remained elevated at follow-up and (b) whether these initial elevations were predictive of kidney disease (as measured by markers of kidney dysfunction: serum creatinine, serum cystatin C, creatinine clearance, and urine osmolality) at follow-up.
4605 14586718 Effects of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist candesartan, compared with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, on the urinary excretion of albumin and type IV collagen in patients with diabetic nephropathy.
4606 14633865 The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma2 (PPARgamma2) Pro12Ala polymorphism has been associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes and a lower albumin excretion rate (AER) in patients with established diabetes.
4607 14669169 A novel peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma agonist, NIP-222, reduces urinary albumin excretion in streptozotocin-diabetic mice independent of PPARgamma activation.
4608 14669169 NIP-222 is a novel peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma agonist.
4609 14669169 This study provides evidence that NIP-222 decreases urinary albumin excretion (UAE) in diabetic mice independent of its PPARgamma activation.
4610 14669169 A novel peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma agonist, NIP-222, reduces urinary albumin excretion in streptozotocin-diabetic mice independent of PPARgamma activation.

4613 14671148 Pegvisomant-induced serum insulin-like growth factor-I normalization in patients with acromegaly returns elevated markers of bone turnover to normal.
4614 14671148 Pegvisomant is a GH receptor antagonist that normalizes serum IGF-I in 97% of patients with active acromegaly.
4615 14671148 Serum procollagen III amino-terminal propeptide (PIIINP) and type I procollagen amino-terminal propeptide, osteocalcin (OC), bone-related alkaline phosphatase, C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (CTx), albumin-corrected calcium, intact PTH, 25-hydroxy vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D [1,25-(OH)(2) vit D], urinary type 1 collagen cross-linked N-telopeptide/creatinine ratio, and urinary calcium (24 h collection) were measured (single-batch analysis) at study entry and after IGF-I normalization, along with sera from 32 age- and sex-matched controls.
4616 14671148 Pegvisomant-induced serum IGF-I normalization (699 +/- 76 to 242 +/- 28 micro g/liter, P < 0.001) was associated with a significant decrease in PIIINP, markers of bone formation (type I procollagen amino-terminal propeptide, OC, and bone-related alkaline phosphatase), and resorption (CTx and urinary type 1 collagen cross-linked N-telopeptide/creatinine ratio). 1,25-(OH)(2) vit D decreased and intact PTH increased significantly, but 25-hydroxy vitamin D was unaffected.
4617 14684753 The most important degradative system is insulin degrading enzyme which is a highly conserved metalloendopeptidase requiring Zn(++) for its proteolytic action, although protein disulfide isomerase and cathepsin D are also involved in insulin metabolism.
4618 14684753 In obese subjects with hyperinsulinemia and high levels of free fatty acids, insulin hepatic clearance is impaired, while the glomerular filtration rate, renal plasma flow and albumin excretion are increased, suggesting a state of renal vasodilatation leading to an abnormally transmitted arterial pressure to the glomerular capillaries through a dilated afferent arteriole.
4619 14726227 Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is a potent multifunctional polypeptide that is involved in normal renal function and in the development of glomerular sclerosis.
4620 14726227 TGF-beta1 was also measured in 38 patients with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus (12 with newly diagnosed diabetes, 26 long-standing diabetes) and 31 healthy controls.
4621 14726227 Urinary TGF-beta1 levels did not correlate with indices of renal function (serum creatinine, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), albumin excretion rate [AER]).
4622 14730686 One of the major difficulties in mining low abundance biomarkers from serum or plasma is due to the fact that a small number of proteins such as albumin, alpha2-macroglobulin, transferrin, and immunoglobulins, may represent as much as 80% of the total serum protein.
4623 14730686 For example, haptoglobin and hemoglobin are elevated in sera of AD, IR/D2, and CHF patients.
4624 14730686 The levels of several other proteins including fibrinogen and its fragments, alpha 2-macroglobulin, transthyretin, pro-platelet basic protein, protease inhibitors clade A and C, as well as proteins involved in the classical complement pathway such as complement C3, C4, and C1 inhibitor, were found to differ between IR/D2 and control sera.
4625 14730686 The sera levels of proteins, such as the 10 kDa subunit of vitronectin, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, apolipoprotein B100, fragment of factor H, and histidine-rich glycoprotein were observed to be different between AD and controls.
4626 14740893 The higher resting respiration in transgenic mitochondria remained in the presence of the adenine nucleotide carrier inhibitor, carboxyatractyloside, bovine serum albumin, and the uncoupling proteins (UCPs) inhibitor, GDP.
4627 14747392 Associations were examined between tHcy level and markers of malnutrition-inflammation complex syndrome and 12-mo prospective hospitalization and mortality in 367 MHD patients, aged 54.5 +/- 14.7 (mean +/- SD) years, who included 199 men and 55% individuals with diabetes. tHcy was 24.4 +/- 11.8 micro mol/L, and 94% of the patients had hyperhomocysteinemia (tHcy >13.5 micro mol/L). tHcy had weak to moderate but statistically significant bivariate and multivariate correlations with some laboratory markers of nutrition (serum albumin, prealbumin, creatinine, and urea nitrogen) but no significant correlation with serum C-reactive protein or two proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-alpha).
4628 14757134 Protein kinase C (PKC)-beta and other PKC isozymes have been implicated in the loss of endothelial barrier function in diabetic microangiopathy.
4629 14757134 The effects of a PKC-beta-specific inhibitor, LY379196, on hyperpermeability responses to high-glucose, angiotensin II, alpha-thrombin and endothelin-1 were evaluated using an in vitro model of human pulmonary artery endothelial cell monolayers.
4630 14757134 LY379196 attenuated the increase in transendothelial albumin flux induced by glucose 40 mM (e.g. 411+/-160% [high-glucose] vs. 167+37% [high-glucose+LY379196], P<0.001) and angiotensin II 10 microM (e.g. 121+/-12% vs. 246+/-35%, P<0.01); endothelin-1 had no significant effect on monolayer permeability.
4631 14763072 We measured serum concentrations of HTG, albumin, iron, and cholesterol; platelet count; transferrin saturation (TSAT); weekly Kt/V; and total weekly creatinine clearance (CCr) in 60 patients with and without diabetes who were being treated with continuous ambulatory PD or automated PD.
4632 14978155 As renal function fails, many patients become progressively malnourished, as evidenced by reduced levels of albumin, prealbumin, and transferrin.
4633 14978155 Malnourished patients have increased levels of C reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and concomitant cardiovascular disease when they reach end stage.
4634 14978155 Apolipoprotein C III (apo C III), a competitive inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase is increased in CKD.
4635 14978180 Serum Pi, after adjusting for demographic, dialysis type and adequacy, hemoglobin, and albumin, independently predicted mortality (risk ratio [RR], 1.56 per 1 mmol/L; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.15 to 2.12; P = 0.004).
4636 14983223 Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) and markers of endothelial cell injury in dialyzed patients with diabetic nephropathy.
4637 14983223 It has been postulated that TAFI-thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor, which couples two opposite systems: coagulation and fibrinolysis, may be involved in the mechanism of vascular endothelial damage in diabetic patients.
4638 14983223 We assessed: TAFI and TAFIa, markers of ongoing coagulation: thrombin-antithrombin complexes, prothrombin fragments 1+2, a marker of ongoing fibrinolysis: plasmin-antiplasmin complexes in diabetic and non-diabetic patients on hemodialyses-HD, peritoneal dialyses-CAPD, patients with chronic renal failure with and without diabetic nephropathy on conservative treatment.
4639 14983223 Linear regression analysis showed that TAFI concentration was directly related to albumin in HD and CAPD patients without diabetic nephropathy, whereas TAFIa correlated with triglycerides, fibrinogen and leukocytes count in this group.
4640 14983239 Cardiovascular risk profile, serum albumin, serum amyloid A (SAA) and fibrinogen were obtained at baseline, and patients were followed for median 21 months (interquartile range 12 to 25) for the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE: myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary interventions, coronary artery bypass graft, and death).
4641 14983239 Low albumin predicted MACE independently of SAA and fibrinogen.
4642 14983239 Cardiovascular risk profile, serum albumin, serum amyloid A (SAA) and fibrinogen were obtained at baseline, and patients were followed for median 21 months (interquartile range 12 to 25) for the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE: myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary interventions, coronary artery bypass graft, and death).
4643 14983239 Low albumin predicted MACE independently of SAA and fibrinogen.
4644 15008843 Recent experimental observations that anti-VEGF neutralizing antibody fully abolished the hyperfiltration and the increase in urinary albumin excretion suggested the contribution of VEGF to the development of diabetic nephropathy, as well.
4645 15015149 We excluded patients with very poor glycemic control (glycated hemoglobin [HbA(1c)] >10%), impaired liver function, nondiabetic renal diseases, and those whose urine contained red blood cells, hemoglobin, or casts.
4646 15015149 Each patient received the designated drug for 12 weeks and their body weight, blood pressure (BP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), HbA(1c), lipids (triglycerides [TG], total, and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol [HDL-C]), 1,5 anhidroglucitol (1,5-AG), immunoreactive insulin (IRI), and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) were measured every month.
4647 15018609 NaB1-L-thyroxyl-insulin, NaB1-3,3',5'-triiodothyronine-insulin, NaB1-D-thyroxyl-insulin and NaB1-L-thyroxyl-aminolauroyl-insulin were compared with insulin for their capacity to inhibit the binding of [125I]TyrA14-insulin to rat liver plasma membrane in albumin-free buffer.
4648 15018609 Effective doses at 50% maximum inhibition of binding (ED50) were calculated with and without addition of the thyroid hormone binding proteins transthyretin, thyroxine binding globulin and human serum albumin.

4651 15046815 Bovine serum albumin and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus; is cow's milk still a possible toxicological causative agent of diabetes?
4652 15046815 The implication of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in cow's milk as a causative agent for the onset of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is a major topic of scientific debate not withstanding the medical and economic implications.
4653 15046815 Bovine serum albumin and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus; is cow's milk still a possible toxicological causative agent of diabetes?
4654 15046815 The implication of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in cow's milk as a causative agent for the onset of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is a major topic of scientific debate not withstanding the medical and economic implications.
4655 15058107 We investigated the relationship between the levels of serum albumin (ALB), serum transthyretin (TTR) or retinol binding protein (RBP) and those of serum cystatin C or clinical gradings in patients with diabetic nephropathy.
4656 15058107 The levels of serum ALB, TTR, RBP and cystatin C were measured by the Dade Behring assay system using the automated Dade Behring Nephelometer II (BN II).

4669 15063761 The expression phase of the circadian output gene, albumin D-site binding protein (DBP), was completely shifted by RF both in normal and in diabetic mice, suggesting that the endogenous insulin is not essential for the entrainment of peripheral clocks to feeding cycles in mice.

4678 15155141 Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a peptide hormone from the gut that stimulates insulin secretion and protects beta-cells, inhibits glucagon secretion and gastric emptying, and reduces appetite and food intake.
4679 15155141 Instead, resistant analogues of the hormone (or agonists of the GLP-1 receptor) are in development, along with DPP-IV inhibitors, which have been demonstrated to protect the endogenous hormone and enhance its activity.
4680 15155141 Agonists include both albumin-bound analogues of GLP-1 and exendin-4, a lizard peptide.
4681 15191416 The uptake of albumin requires the assembly of a macromolecular complex that is thought to include the megalin/cubulin receptor, NHE3, the vacuolar type H(+)-ATPase (v-H(+)-ATPase), the Cl(-) channel ClC-5 and interactions with the actin cytoskeleton.

4728 15233403 Fatty acids induce increased granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor secretion through protein kinase C-activation in THP-1 macrophages.
4729 15233403 We found that albumin-bound NEFA at physiological levels increase the secretion of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) by the THP-1 macrophages in a dose-dependent manner.
4730 15233403 The NEFA-induced rise in GM-CSF appeared to be mediated by activation of protein kinase C, probably acting on extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 and being calcium dependent.
4731 15233403 We speculate that increased secretion of GM-CSF by resident macrophages in the intima exposed chronically to high levels of NEFA, such as those present in insulin resistance, may contribute to a proatherogenic response of arterial cells.

4765 15305228 Possible role of VEGF in the progression of kidney disease in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats: effects of an ACE inhibitor and an angiotensin II receptor antagonist.
4766 15305228 The aim of this study was to determine the effects of an angiotensin II type I (AT-1) receptor antagonist and an ACE inhibitor on the pathogenesis of VEGF and ET-1-mediated kidney disease in STZ-induced diabetic rats.
4767 15305228 Urinary albumin and N-acetyl beta-D glucosaminidase (NAG) excretion as well as the VEGF protein content in the kidney were all found to be elevated in diabetic rats.
4768 15305228 Serum ET-1 and VEGF levels were unchanged by these treatments.
4769 15305228 These data support a role for AT-1 receptor antagonists and ACE inhibitors in the prevention of diabetic nephropathy, and suggest that the former may work by reducing renal VEGF levels.

4790 15375795 Multiple regression analysis showed that urinary albumin excretion was independently predicted by the myocardial uptake of 123I-MIBG at delayed phase, fasting plasma insulin concentration, and the HOMA index.
4791 15375795 Our results indicate that the presence of microalbuminuria in our Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes is characterized by depressed cardiovascular autonomic function and insulin resistance, and that the myocardial uptake of 123I-MIBG at delayed phase, fasting plasma insulin, and HOMA index are independent predictors of urinary albumin excretion.
4792 15382171 There were no differences between both groups regarding age, gender, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, ALT levels, AST-to-ALT ratio levels, albumin levels, prothrombin activity, steatosis, or inflammation.
4793 15384790 Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are effective in controlling blood pressure and have been shown to reduce proteinuria with fewer adverse effects than angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors.
4794 15384790 Levels of serum albumin (r = 0.630, p < 0.05), prealbumin (r = 0.810, p < 0.001), and transferrin (r = 0.551, p < 0.05) increased after treatment with irbesartan.
4795 15449170 To examine the effects of glucose and advanced glycosylated end-products (AGE) on perlecan, we cultured rat glomerular epithelial cells (GEpC) on AGE- or bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated plates under normal (NG, 5 mM) and high-glucose (HG, 30 mM) conditions and measured the change in perlecan core protein production by a sandwich ELISA and northern blot analysis.
4796 15453119 The glycaemic regulation can be improved and/or the chances of hypoglycaemia can be reduced by reduced variability in the resorption of (insulin glargine) or by binding to the serum albumin (insulin detemir).
4797 15454392 Diabetes was associated with an increase in urine albumin excretion (UAE; ND, 0.39 +/- 0.03; D, 5.9 +/- 0.8 mg/day; P < 0.001), decrease in creatinine clearance (CrCl; ND, 0.69 +/- 0.03; D, 0.43 +/- 0.09 mg x min(-1) x 100 g body wt(-1); P < 0.05), increase in the index of glomerulosclerosis [GSI; ND, 0.01 +/- 0.01; D, 0.15 +/- 0.04 arbitrary units (AU); P < 0.01], tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIFI; ND, 0.04 +/- 0.04; D, 0.68 +/- 0.2 AU; P < 0.01), and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) protein expression (ND, 0.61 +/- 0.02; D, 1.25 +/- 0.07 AU; P < 0.01).
4798 15462162 Supportive care with broad-spectrum antibiotics, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, repeated blood transfusions, and albumin supplement was given.
4799 15462162 Coadministration of Cantharanthus roseus and cisapride was noted, and these two drugs are both substrates of cytochrome P450 3A4 enzymes (CYP 3A4).
4800 15462162 Because the vinca alkaloids are extensively metabolized by the liver cytochrome P450 enzymes, poor hepatic function and drug-herb interaction might predispose the patient to develop the bone marrow toxicity.
4801 15465616 Data collection involves patient interviews, physical examinations, laboratory measurements (diabetes autoantibodies, fasting/stimulating C-peptide, hemoglobin A1c, blood glucose, lipids, urine albumin, creatinine), medical records reviews, and documentation of risk factors for complications and processes of care.
4802 15466268 HGF attenuated urine albumin and total protein excretion in diabetic mice.
4803 15466268 Exogenous HGF also mitigated glomerular mesangial expansion, reduced fibronectin and type I collagen deposition, and prevented interstitial myofibroblast activation.
4804 15466268 Moreover, expression of HGF inhibited renal expression of TGF-beta1 and reduced urine level of TGF-beta1 protein.
4805 15467196 Choroidal explants in the early diabetic stage released vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and tended to increase tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-B, and concomitantly facilitated growth of sprout and buds, compared to the normal control.
4806 15467196 When choroidal explants were stimulated with CML-human serum albumin (HSA), its releasing effect was in the order VEGF>TNFalpha>PDGF-B.
4807 15467196 In conclusion, CML adducts were accumulated and over-produced the actions of VEGF, TNFalpha and PDGF-B in the choroidal explant during diabetes in an age-dependent manner.
4808 15467196 TNFalpha and VEGF are likely to play a predominant role for the CML-induced choroidal neovascularization.
4809 15485765 Abundant evidence demonstrates that antihypertensive therapy is an important key to the control of urinary albumin excretion, and blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers) is the treatment of choice.
4810 15490400 Patients with a mean CRP level greater than 1.0 mg/L (n = 254) were older than those with a CRP level less than or equal to 1.0 mg/L (n = 258) and had a longer duration of dialysis, lower serum albumin level, and higher phosphate level ( P < .01, P < .05, P < .001, and P < .01, respectively).
4811 15495435 This model suggested that forced vital capacity >80% predicted, serum creatinine <1.5 mg/dL (133 mcmol/L), hemoglobin >11 g/dL (110 g/L), and serum albumin >3.5 mg/L (35 mmol/ L) are significantly associated (p = 0.05) with favorable mortality.
4812 15516157 The fatty acid modification allows insulin detemir to reversibly bind to albumin, thereby providing slow absorption and a prolonged and consistent metabolic effect of up to 24 hours in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus.
4813 15525586 Furthermore, we examined the relationship between urinary VEGF levels and the urinary albumin excretion (UAE) rate in Otsuka-Long-Evans-Tokushima-Fatty (OLETF) rats.
4814 15536489 The hemostatic/inflammatory factors included fibrinogen, factor VIII-C, von Willebrand factor (vWF), albumin, and white blood cell count (WBC).
4815 15536489 One standard deviation (SD) increment of PM(10) (12.8 microg/m(3)) was significantly (P < 0.05) associated with 3.93% higher of vWF among diabetics and 0.006 g/dl lower of serum albumin among persons with a history of CVD.
4816 15536489 Significant curvilinear associations, indicative of threshold effects, for PM(10) with factor VIII-C, O(3) with fibrinogen and vWF, and SO(2) with factor VIII-C, WBC, and serum albumin were found.
4817 15536489 The hemostatic/inflammatory factors included fibrinogen, factor VIII-C, von Willebrand factor (vWF), albumin, and white blood cell count (WBC).

4821 15536489 One standard deviation (SD) increment of PM(10) (12.8 microg/m(3)) was significantly (P < 0.05) associated with 3.93% higher of vWF among diabetics and 0.006 g/dl lower of serum albumin among persons with a history of CVD.
4822 15536489 Significant curvilinear associations, indicative of threshold effects, for PM(10) with factor VIII-C, O(3) with fibrinogen and vWF, and SO(2) with factor VIII-C, WBC, and serum albumin were found.
4823 15536604 Endothelial constitutive nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS) might be one of the mechanisms of glomerular hyperfiltration.
4824 15536604 The ecNOS and iNOS protein expression in glomeruli were evaluated by immunofluorescence.
4825 15536604 It appears that the decrease of urinary albumin excretion might be related to improvement of glomerular enlargement, including hyperfiltration, since the levels of ecNOS protein were reduced by PIO in the glomerular vessels.
4826 15539105 Based on these results, optimal therapy for patients at risk for type 2 diabetic nephropathy should include BP reduction to <130/80 mm Hg, with the inclusion of a RAAS blocking agent (ie, an angiotensin II receptor blocker) to provide BP control and control of urinary albumin, which should be reduced to <500 mg/d.

4849 15579517 Using multiple regression analysis, fat-free edema-free body mass-adjusted REE was negatively associated with residual GFR (P < 0.001) and serum albumin (P = 0.046) and positively associated with diabetes (P = 0.002), cardiovascular disease (P = 0.009), and C-reactive protein (P = 0.009).
4850 15579517 However, the significance of REE in predicting mortality was gradually reduced when additional adjustment was made for C-reactive protein, serum albumin, and residual GFR in a stepwise manner.
4851 15579517 Using multiple regression analysis, fat-free edema-free body mass-adjusted REE was negatively associated with residual GFR (P < 0.001) and serum albumin (P = 0.046) and positively associated with diabetes (P = 0.002), cardiovascular disease (P = 0.009), and C-reactive protein (P = 0.009).

4853 15579760 HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), insulin levels, total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, free fatty acids, and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio were measured.
4854 15582592 Constitutively active PDX1 induced efficient insulin production in adult murine liver.
4855 15582592 To generate insulin-producing cells in the liver, recombinant adenovirus containing a constitutively active mutant of PDX1 (PDX1-VP16), designed to activate target genes without the need for protein partners, was prepared and administered intravenously to streptozotocin (STZ)-treated diabetic mice.
4856 15582592 While wt-PDX1 expression exerted small effects on blood glucose levels, treatment with PDX1-VP16 adenovirus efficiently induced insulin production in hepatocytes, resulting in reversal of STZ-induced hyperglycemia.
4857 15582592 On the other hand, albumin and transferrin expressions were observed in insulin-producing cells in the liver, suggesting preservation of hepatocytic functions.
4858 15582592 Thus, transient expression of an active mutant of PDX1 in the liver induced sustained PDX1 and insulin expressions without loss of hepatocytic function.
4859 15591647 Blood levels of glucose, urea, uric acid and creatinine, plasma levels of albumin and albumin/globulin ratio and the activities of diagnostic marker enzymes aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (gamma-GT) in plasma, liver and kidney were markedly altered in STZ diabetic rats.
4860 15613621 The present study was undertaken to determine whether the severity of renal failure or hypertension in homozygous cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-deficient (COX-2-/-) mice affected by genetic background or gender.
4861 15613621 Urinary excretion of albumin, determined by EIA, was remarkably increased in the 129/COX-2-/- (16.4 +/- 4.1 vs. 0.16 +/- 0.043 mg albumin/mg creatinine, P < 0.001), and to a lesser extent in the male C57/COX-2-/- mice (0.595 +/- 0.416 vs. 0.068 +/- 0.019).
4862 15613621 Albumin excretion was not elevated in the male BALB/COX-2-/- or in female COX-2-/- mice on any of the three genetic backgrounds.
4863 15613621 The present study was undertaken to determine whether the severity of renal failure or hypertension in homozygous cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-deficient (COX-2-/-) mice affected by genetic background or gender.
4864 15613621 Urinary excretion of albumin, determined by EIA, was remarkably increased in the 129/COX-2-/- (16.4 +/- 4.1 vs. 0.16 +/- 0.043 mg albumin/mg creatinine, P < 0.001), and to a lesser extent in the male C57/COX-2-/- mice (0.595 +/- 0.416 vs. 0.068 +/- 0.019).
4865 15613621 Albumin excretion was not elevated in the male BALB/COX-2-/- or in female COX-2-/- mice on any of the three genetic backgrounds.

4869 15616036 Here, we report the development of Albulin, a long-acting insulin analog obtained by direct gene fusion of a single-chain human insulin to human serum albumin.
4870 15640880 C-reactive protein (CRP), alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and fibrinogen were measured by turbidimetric immunoassay and urinary albumin excretion rate (AER) was determined in timed overnight urine samples by RIA.
4871 15640880 The CRP and AGP levels were higher in DM1 patients as compared to controls, respectively [0.23 (0.01-2.90) vs. 0.14 (0.01-2.41) mg/dl, p= 0.0172& and [53.5 (37-115) vs. 40 (19-78) mg/dl, p< 0.0001].
4872 15640880 In conclusion, CRP and AGP were higher in DM1 patients, without microalbuminuria, retinopathy and clinical macrovascular disease.
4873 15646011 In the present study we measured interleukin-18 (IL-18) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) levels by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in sera from 65 diabetic [30 with type 1 insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and 35 with type 2 non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)] patients and 15 healthy volunteers, to investigate their associations with metabolic parameters and to elucidate their roles in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications especially diabetic nephropathy.
4874 15646011 Levels of IL-18 and TNF-alpha were significantly higher in both IDDM and NIDDM individuals as compared to the control group.
4875 15646011 Correlation analyses showed that the serum IL-18 and TNF-alpha concentration were positively correlated with each other and positively with fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2h postprandial glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), triglyceride, and urinary albumin levels and negative correlation between TNF-alpha and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were also found in diabetic subjects.
4876 15646011 High serum levels of IL-18 and TNF-alpha suggested that they might play a role in the pathogenesis of DM and in the development of nephropathy in diabetic patients whether of type 1 or 2.
4877 15647778 Urinary albumin excretion and levels of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 decreased (GEE regression coefficients, -2.40 mg/24 h (P<0.001), -85 ng/ml (P=0.01) and -50 ng/ml (P=0.02)), but brachial artery endothelium-dependent and -independent vasodilation and levels of von Willebrand factor and C-reactive protein did not change (GEE regression coefficients, 0.21 mm (P=0.07), 0.04 mm (P=0.43), 0.04 IU/ml (P=0.33) and -1.15 mg/l (P=0.64)).
4878 15651716 The characteristics evaluated included age, height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, duration of diabetes, haemoglobin A1C and blood lipid concentrations, urinary albumin excretion rate, circulating concentrations of leptin, tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), TNF-alpha receptor 1 and genotypes of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene.

4882 15691219 The fatty acid modification allows insulin detemir to reversibly bind to albumin, thereby providing slow absorption and a prolonged and consistent metabolic effect of up to 24 hours in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus.
4883 15734841 Apolipoprotein C3 deficiency results in diet-induced obesity and aggravated insulin resistance in mice.
4884 15734841 Our aim was to study whether the absence of apolipoprotein (apo) C3, a strong inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), accelerates the development of obesity and consequently insulin resistance.
4885 15734841 LPL-independent uptake of albumin-bound fatty acids did not differ.
4886 15734841 Absence of apoC3, the natural LPL inhibitor, enhances fatty acid uptake from plasma triglycerides in adipose tissue, which leads to higher susceptibility to diet-induced obesity followed by more severe development of insulin resistance.
4887 15734841 Therefore, apoC3 is a potential target for treatment of obesity and insulin resistance.
4888 15734857 AGE-modified serum albumin was prepared according to a range of protocols, and these were also analyzed along with neutralization of the AGE receptors galectin-3 and RAGE.
4889 15734857 AGE-modified albumin caused a dose-dependent inhibition of angiogenesis (P < 0.001), and AGE receptor neutralization significantly reversed the AGE-mediated suppression of angiogenesis (P < 0.01).

4892 15736117 Among 3 groups according to ICAM-1 genotypes in type 2 diabetes, no difference was found in adiposity, glycemic control, lipid profile, insulin sensitivity evaluated by homeostasis model assessment, or sICAM-1.
4893 15736117 In multiple regression analysis, ICAM-1 genotype was independent contribution factor of plasma fibrinogen level as well as high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and urinary albumin excretion (R2 = 0.148, P < .001).
4894 15742343 Fresh egg albumin-induced pedal oedema and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus were used as experimental test models of inflammation and diabetes Diclofenac (DIC, 100 mg/kg i.p.) was used as a reference analgesic and antiinflammatory agent for comparison.

4896 15747054 No differences between patients and controls were observed in serum calcium, phosphorus, creatinine, albumin, PTH, CTx, oestrogen, testosterone, LH, FSH, prolactin and urinary calcium.
4897 15791889 In addition to liver chemistries, an initial serologic evaluation includes a prothrombin time; albumin; complete blood count with platelets; hepatitis A, B, and C serologies; and iron studies.
4898 15793194 Increased urinary albumin excretion, insulin resistance, and related cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes: evidence of a sex-specific association.

4901 15814832 Quintiles (Q(1) to Q(5)) of (albumin-adjusted) calcium were </=8.7, 8.8 to 9.2, 9.3 to 9.6, 9.7 to 10.2, and >10.2 mg/dl; phosphorus, </=4.4, 4.5 to 5.3, 5.4 to 6.3, 6.4 to 7.5, and >7.5 mg/dl; calcium-phosphorus product, </=40.9, 41.0 to 50.1, 50.2 to 59.2, 59.3 to 71.0, and >71.0 mg(2)/dl(2); and parathyroid hormone (PTH), </=37, 38 to 99, 100 to 210, 211 to 480, and >480 pg/ml.
4902 15827346 Compared with normal mice, diabetic Gpx1+/+ and -/- mice had a two- to threefold increase in urine albumin excretion at 2 and 4 mo of diabetes.
4903 15827346 At 4 mo, diabetic Gpx1+/+ and -/- mice had equivalent levels of oxidative renal injury (increased kidney reactive oxygen species, kidney lipid peroxidation, urine isoprostanes, kidney deposition of advanced glycoxidation, and nitrosylation end products) and a similar degree of glomerular damage (hypertrophy, hypercellularity, sclerosis), tubular injury (apoptosis and vimentin expression), and renal fibrosis (myofibroblasts, collagen, TGF-beta excretion).
4904 15827346 A lack of Gpx1 was not compensated for by increased levels of catalase or other Gpx isoforms in diabetic kidneys.
4905 15838365 Inhibition of both neutral endopeptidase and endothelin-converting enzyme by SLV306 reduces proteinuria and urinary albumin excretion in diabetic rats.
4906 15838365 Computer-aided image analysis revealed that renal interstitial matrix content was significantly decreased in diabetic rats treated with either the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or the neutral endopeptidase/endothelin-converting enzyme inhibitor as compared to untreated diabetic rats.
4907 15851628 We investigated the associations of pulse pressure (a measure of arterial stiffness) with the early glycation products hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and Amadori albumin and the advanced glycation end products pentosidine, Nepsilon-(carboxymethyl)lysine and Nepsilon-(carboxyethyl)lysine in a large group of type 1 diabetic individuals of the EURODIAB Prospective Complications Study.
4908 15857159 Relationship among urinary albumin excretion rate, lipoprotein lipase PvuII polymorphism and plasma fibrinogen in type 2 diabetic patients.
4909 15857946 The effects of tranilast on urinary albumin excretion, mesangial expansion, expression of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and type I collagen mRNAs, number of anionic sites on the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), and urinary TGF-beta and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) excretion were assessed.
4910 15857946 The levels of TGF-beta and type I collagen mRNA expression were increased in the renal cortex in untreated diabetic SHR at 24 weeks, as determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
4911 15857946 Tranilast treatment inhibited the up-regulation of TGF-beta and type I collagen mRNA expression by 65 and 36%, respectively, in diabetic SHR.
4912 15871306 Insulin alters nuclear factor-lambdaB and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma protein expression induced by glycated bovine serum albumin in vascular smooth-muscle cells.
4913 15871306 In both type 2 diabetes and insulin-resistance syndromes, hyperglycemia and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) activate the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) through a mechanism that partly involves the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
4914 15871306 In this work we investigated the actions of insulin and PPAR-gamma on the stimulation by AGEs of NF-kappaB protein expression in cultured aortic vascular smooth-muscle cells (VSMCs) from non-insulin-dependent diabetic rats and nondiabetic rats.
4915 15871306 Incubations (24 hours) of VSMCs with 10 to 100 microg/mL glycated bovine serum albumin (AGE- BSA) increased NF-kappaB protein expression in both models.
4916 15871306 In the presence of insulin (10-100 nmol/L), the stimulation of NF-kappaB protein expression by AGE-BSA (100 microg/mL) was decreased, whereas the expression of PPAR-gamma, protein was enhanced. 15-Deoxyprostaglandin J2, a direct activator of PPAR-gamma, decreased AGE-BSA-stimulated NF-kappaB expression.
4917 15871306 These findings suggest that insulin decreases the incidence of alterations in VSMCs induced by AGEs through the reduction of NF-kappaB and an increase in PPAR-gamma protein expression (as far as the model could be extrapolated to in vivo situations).
4918 15871306 These data may help justify current therapeutic approaches involving the use of insulin and PPAR-gamma agonists.
4919 15871306 Insulin alters nuclear factor-lambdaB and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma protein expression induced by glycated bovine serum albumin in vascular smooth-muscle cells.
4920 15871306 In both type 2 diabetes and insulin-resistance syndromes, hyperglycemia and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) activate the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) through a mechanism that partly involves the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
4921 15871306 In this work we investigated the actions of insulin and PPAR-gamma on the stimulation by AGEs of NF-kappaB protein expression in cultured aortic vascular smooth-muscle cells (VSMCs) from non-insulin-dependent diabetic rats and nondiabetic rats.
4922 15871306 Incubations (24 hours) of VSMCs with 10 to 100 microg/mL glycated bovine serum albumin (AGE- BSA) increased NF-kappaB protein expression in both models.
4923 15871306 In the presence of insulin (10-100 nmol/L), the stimulation of NF-kappaB protein expression by AGE-BSA (100 microg/mL) was decreased, whereas the expression of PPAR-gamma, protein was enhanced. 15-Deoxyprostaglandin J2, a direct activator of PPAR-gamma, decreased AGE-BSA-stimulated NF-kappaB expression.
4924 15871306 These findings suggest that insulin decreases the incidence of alterations in VSMCs induced by AGEs through the reduction of NF-kappaB and an increase in PPAR-gamma protein expression (as far as the model could be extrapolated to in vivo situations).
4925 15871306 These data may help justify current therapeutic approaches involving the use of insulin and PPAR-gamma agonists.
4926 15872076 Measured risk factors included age, gender, BP, body mass index, GFR, glycosylated hemoglobin, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, smoking, and medications that affect urine albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR).
4927 15876809 The parameters assessed were serum creatinine, urea, calcium, phosphorus, hemoglobin, albumin, uric acid, iron, ferritin, and lipid levels.
4928 15906776 Serum ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, globulin, and ferritin levels were comparable in both steatohepatitis and chronic viral hepatitis groups.
4929 15906776 However, patients with chronic hepatitis had a lower albumin level and a higher serum iron level, with higher transferrin saturation.
4930 15915338 Polymorphism of the solute carrier family 12 (sodium/chloride transporters) member 3, SLC12A3, gene at exon 23 (+78G/A: Arg913Gln) is associated with elevation of urinary albumin excretion in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes: a 10-year longitudinal study.
4931 15917336 Baseline characteristics were similar between groups, and correlation analysis showed a significant association between urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and urinary TNF-alpha (R = 0.53, P < 0.001).
4932 15924603 This review attempts to describe the novel method of protraction that insulin detemir (launched last summer) employs by albumin binding, to discuss the possible therapeutic benefits of this method of protraction and to describe the findings of studies comparing insulin detemir with other currently available long-acting insulin preparations.
4933 15952088 Association of humoral immunity to human Hsp60 with the IL-6 gene polymorphism C-174G in patients with type 2 diabetes and controls.
4934 15952088 There was no significant association to age and sex, or to key clinical or metabolic parameters (BMI, WHR, HbA1c, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, albumin, uric acid) or immunological parameters (CRP, IL-6, sIL-6R, TNFalpha, sTNFalpha R60, sTNFalpha R80).
4935 15957550 Moreover, positive correlations between urinary adiponectin levels and albumin-to-creatinine ratios were observed in IgA-nephropathy (R2=0.53, P<0.01) and diabetic nephropathy patients (R2=0.61, P<0.01), but not in control subjects.
4936 15964084 In those subjects with new-onset anemia, the serum iron, ferritin, transferrin saturation and albumin were lower than in the normal group.
4937 15975669 The sulfonylureas and metformin appear to have little effect on microalbuminuria expressed as urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, while the thiazolidinediones have unique effects on this risk factor, in parallel with their effects on insulin resistance.
4938 16000343 Lipid profile, albumin/creatinine ratio, renal functions and glycosylated hemoglobin (HB A(1)c) were assayed.
4939 16022682 NOS activity was measured from the conversion of L-[(3)H]arginine into L-[(3)H]citrulline, and the expression, serine phosphorylation and O-glycosylation of NOS-3 were determined by Western blotting.
4940 16022682 By contrast, AGE-modified albumin exerted a concentration- and time-dependent suppression of NOS-3 expression in HUVECs at a range of concentrations (0-200 mg/l) found in diabetic plasma; this was evident after 24 h, whereas inhibition of NOS activity was seen after only 3 h incubation with AGE-modified albumin, consistent with our previous observations of rapid suppression of NOS-3 serine phosphorylation and NOS-3 activity by AGE-modified albumin.
4941 16022682 In conclusion, AGE-modified albumin suppresses NOS-3 activity in HUVECs through two mechanisms: one rapid, involving suppression of its serine phosphorylation, and another slower, involving a decrease in its expression.
4942 16022682 NOS activity was measured from the conversion of L-[(3)H]arginine into L-[(3)H]citrulline, and the expression, serine phosphorylation and O-glycosylation of NOS-3 were determined by Western blotting.

4944 16022682 In conclusion, AGE-modified albumin suppresses NOS-3 activity in HUVECs through two mechanisms: one rapid, involving suppression of its serine phosphorylation, and another slower, involving a decrease in its expression.
4945 16029032 Albumin-insulin conjugate releasing insulin slowly under physiological conditions: a new concept for long-acting insulin.
4946 16029032 We retain drug bioactivity by synthesizing a heterobifunctional reagent (MAL-Fmoc-OSu, 9-hydroxymethyl-2-(amino-3-maleimidopropionate)-fluorene-N-hydroxysuccinimide) that generates HSA-Fmoc-insulin on covalent conjugation to the amino group of insulin and the Cys-34 side chain of HSA.
4947 16029043 Synthesis and evaluation of insulin-human serum albumin conjugates.
4948 16037291 Pathological roles of advanced glycation end product receptors SR-A and CD36.
4949 16037291 In this study, we focused on two AGE receptors-specifically, the role of SR-A in pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy and the role of CD36 in AGE-induced downregulation of leptin by adipocytes.
4950 16037291 In terms of SR-A, diabetic wild-type mice exhibited increased urinary albumin excretion, glomerular hypertrophy, and mesangial matrix expansion, whereas SR-A-knockout mice showed reduced glomerular size and mesangial matrix area.
4951 16037291 In terms of CD36, incubation of glycolaldehyde-modified bovine serum albumin (GA-BSA) with 3T3-L1 adipocytes reduced leptin secretion by these cells.
4952 16037291 These results indicate that the interaction of AGE ligands with 3T3-L1 adipocytes via CD36 induces oxidative stress and leads to inhibition of leptin expression by these cells, suggesting a potential link of this phenomenon to exacerbation of the insulin sensitivity in metabolic syndrome.
4953 16037291 Pathological roles of advanced glycation end product receptors SR-A and CD36.

4957 16037291 These results indicate that the interaction of AGE ligands with 3T3-L1 adipocytes via CD36 induces oxidative stress and leads to inhibition of leptin expression by these cells, suggesting a potential link of this phenomenon to exacerbation of the insulin sensitivity in metabolic syndrome.
4958 16093309 Compared to untreated or albumin-control-treated graft recipients, which rejected islets at day 10, AAT-treated mice displayed diminished cellular infiltrates and intact intragraft insulin production throughout treatment.
4959 16093309 In vitro, several islet responses to IL-1beta/IFNgamma stimulation were examined.
4960 16093309 In the presence of AAT, islets displayed enhanced viability and inducible insulin secretion.
4961 16093309 TNFalpha release from IL-1beta/IFNgamma-stimulated islet cells was reduced by 99%, accompanied by an 8-fold increase in the accumulation of membrane TNFalpha on CD45-positive islet cells.
4962 16112242 A case of type 2 diabetes mellitus developing hypothyroidism discovered as a result of a discrepancy between glycated hemoglobin and glycated albumin values.
4963 16112242 We report a case of type 2 diabetes mellitus presenting hypothyroidism due to overeating of seaweed that was noticed as a result of a discrepancy between glycated albumin (GA) and glycated hemoglobin (GHb).
4964 16112242 A case of type 2 diabetes mellitus developing hypothyroidism discovered as a result of a discrepancy between glycated hemoglobin and glycated albumin values.
4965 16112242 We report a case of type 2 diabetes mellitus presenting hypothyroidism due to overeating of seaweed that was noticed as a result of a discrepancy between glycated albumin (GA) and glycated hemoglobin (GHb).
4966 16112244 Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have favourable effects on hypertension and diabetic nephropathy, but persistent use may result in incomplete blockade of the renin-angiotensin system.
4967 16112244 Long-term effects of dual blockade using the ACE inhibitor lisinopril and the long-acting angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) telmisartan on blood pressure and albumin excretion rate (AER) were evaluated.
4968 16118326 In mouse models of virus infection and virus-induced autoimmunity, we tested how heterologous serum affects the immunomodulatory capacity of immature DCs generated in the presence of IL-10 by comparing fetal bovine serum (FBS)- or normal mouse serum (NMS)-supplemented DC cultures.
4969 16118326 We show that FBS-exposed DCs induce a systemic immune deviation characterized by reduction of virus-specific T cells, delayed viral clearance, and enhanced systemic production of interleukin 4 (IL-4), IL-5, and IL-10 to FBS-derived antigens, including bovine serum albumin (BSA).
4970 16118326 These cells did not induce systemic IL-4, IL-5, or IL-10 production and inhibited generation of virus-specific T cells or autoimmunity only if pulsed with a viral antigen.
4971 16126118 The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of the non-dihydropyridine calcium antagonist (NDCA) diltiazem on the development of urinary albumin excretion (UAE) in type 2 hypertensive diabetic patients with persistent microalbuminuria despite ACE inhibitor treatment.
4972 16130407 To elucidate the etiopathological role of IP-10 in type 2 DM, we measured the concentrations of IP-10 together with IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-18, IL-6 and MCP-1 in plasma samples from 103 type 2 DM patients with various degrees of nephropathy.
4973 16130407 IP-10 correlated IL-18, IL-6, TNF-alpha and MCP-1.
4974 16130407 IP-10 levels became higher with the progression of nephropathy : IP-10 levels were 148.9+/-14.5, 174.2+/-17.2 and 231.9+/-31.3 pg/m/ in patients with an urinary albumin creatinine ratio of <30, 30 to 300 and >300 microg/mg Cr, respectively.
4975 16130407 Similarly, IL-18, IL-6, MCP-1 and TNF-alpha levels in patients with overt albuminuria were significantly higher as compared with those without albuminuria (IL-18, 367.3 45.6 vs 203.5+/-17.6 pg/ml; IL-6, 1.61+/-0.26 vs 0.87+/-0.13 pg/ml; TNF-alpha, 1.83+/-0.48 vs 0.61+/-0.07 pg/ml; p<0.05, respectively) in consistent with previous reports.
4976 16141627 In the isolated home hypertension in the morning group, the fasting insulin level, urinary albumin excretion, maximum carotid artery intima-media complex thickness, and left ventricular posterior wall thickness were significantly higher and the coefficient of variation for RR intervals was significantly lower than in the normotensive group.
4977 16154660 The current study evaluates the indices of glucose control for diabetics (i.e., glycated albumin (GA), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), plasma glucose (PG) and immuno-reactive insulin (IRI)) in non-diabetic children from a population-based cohort, and compares those values according to the presence of obesity to examine any differences in these indices.
4978 16155866 Mice expressing the modified protein in hepatocytes using albumin-cre transgenics show defects in glucose homeostasis, glycogen storage, fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels, and induction of glucokinase mRNA during feeding.
4979 16155866 Similar to animals lacking glucokinase in the liver (Postic et al.: J Biol Chem 274:305-315, 1999), these mice also have defects in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, a hallmark of Type II diabetes.
4980 16157083 C-reactive protein (CRP) and urinary albumin excretion are both determinants of cardiovascular risk.
4981 16157083 In this article, we review the available evidence concerning the relationships of CRP and urinary albumin excretion, with each other and with other cardiovascular risk markers and factors.
4982 16157083 The reasons that this formula might or should include CRP and urinary albumin excretion, rather than diabetes mellitus and the metabolic syndrome, are discussed.
4983 16157083 C-reactive protein (CRP) and urinary albumin excretion are both determinants of cardiovascular risk.

4988 16157083 The reasons that this formula might or should include CRP and urinary albumin excretion, rather than diabetes mellitus and the metabolic syndrome, are discussed.
4989 16159895 Markers of oxidative stress (plasma and urine albumin carbonyl and total protein carbonyls and malondialdehyde), inflammation [white blood cell (WBC) count, C-reactive protein (CRP), plasma IL-6, TNF-alpha], and plaque stability [matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9)] were measured in frozen samples obtained from patients with overt diabetic nephropathy participating in a randomized, open-label, blinded end-point, 16-wk trial with glipizide (n = 22) or pioglitazone (n = 22).
4990 16159895 Pioglitazone therapy in men with advanced diabetic nephropathy reduced WBC count by 1,125/mul (P < 0.001), CRP by 41% (P = 0.042), IL-6 by 38% (P = 0.009), and MMP-9 by 29% (P = 0.016).
4991 16164632 Evidence linking glycated albumin to altered glomerular nephrin and VEGF expression, proteinuria, and diabetic nephropathy.
4992 16174286 We investigated the effect of aldosterone and spironolactone, which is a non-selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, on monocyte chemoattractant peptide (MCP-1) and collagen synthesis in cultured mesangial and tubular epithelial cells.
4993 16174286 However, spironolactone therapy significantly inhibited urinary albumin and MCP-1 excretion.
4994 16174286 Spironolactone treatment also suppressed renal mRNA expression for MCP-1, macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) as well as intrarenal protein synthesis for ED-1 and MIF.
4995 16174286 Morphologically, spironolactone treatment significantly prevented glomerulosclerosis, collagen deposition and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression in diabetic rats.
4996 16174286 In cultured cell experiments, aldosterone directly increased the MCP-1, collagen secretion and spironolactone treatment abolished aldosterone-induced MCP-1 and collagen synthesis.
4997 16174286 In addition, prior treatment with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), which is a NF-KB inhibitor, inhibited aldosterone-induced MCP-1 protein secretion.
4998 16177002 Treatment with MTX reduced urinary albumin excretion, mesangial matrix expansion, macrophage infiltration, expression of TGF-beta and type IV collagen, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in glomeruli.
4999 16177002 The protective effects of MTX are suggested to be mediated by its anti-inflammatory actions through inhibition of NF-kappaB activation and consequent reduction of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression and macrophage infiltration.
5000 16186291 Urinary albumin excretion and its relation with C-reactive protein and the metabolic syndrome in the prediction of type 2 diabetes.
5001 16188522 Relation of microalbuminuria to adiponectin and augmented C-reactive protein levels in men with essential hypertension.
5002 16188522 We examined the possible associations of urinary albumin excretion, expressed as the ratio of albumin to creatinine (ACR), with plasma adiponectin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in men who had essential hypertension.
5003 16197649 Impressive results have been obtained with a low-dose combination of the ACE-inhibitor perindopril and the diuretic indapamide, which not only gave superior reductions in blood pressure to enalapril, but also a 24% greater reduction in albumin excretion.
5004 16202232 Blood samples were taken from the neck vascular trunk in order to determine the glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol (HDL-c), atherogenic index (AI), total protein, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, insulin, lipid peroxidation products, reduced glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities.
5005 16202232 As well, we estimated the lipid peroxidtion, GSH and SOD, GSH-Px and catalase activities in brain and renal homogenates, and the excretion of albumin, proteins and glucose in urine over 24 h period.
5006 16202232 The administration of STZ caused significant increases in levels of glycosuria, proteinuria, albuminuria, glycemia, total cholesterol and AI, as well as in lipid peroxidation products in the brain, plasma and kidney, whereas it decreased the GSH content and SOD, GSH-Px and catalase activities.
5007 16218889 In hypertensive patients with Type 2 diabetes, a greater reduction of urinary albumin excretion can be obtained with the perindopril/indapamide association compared with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor administered as monotherapy.
5008 16222610 Amadori-glycated albumin induces the activation of glomerular mesangial and endothelial cells to a phenotype that may be linked to the pathogenesis of diabetic microangiopathy, that is, by the stimulation of protein kinase C, activation of transforming growth factor beta, and the expression of extracellular matrix proteins.
5009 16224161 Blood samples were obtained to assess levels of phosphorus, total calcium, serum albumin, C-reactive protein, and lipid profiles.
5010 16272640 The multivariate Cox proportional hazards models showed that the presence of diabetes mellitus, levels of albumin and intact PTH, and BstB I genotype were indicated as independent predictors of cardiovascular mortality, whereas age and albumin level were indicated as those of non-cardiovascular mortality, suggesting that the level of intact PTH and its gene polymorphism effect cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients.
5011 16272693 Daily treatment with vitamin E, insulin, or their combination markedly suppressed the increase in the 24 h urinary albumin and lipid peroxide excretions.
5012 16278277 Previously, we demonstrated that 5-chloro-2-{(1E)-3-[2-(4-methoxybenzoyl)-4-methyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]prop-1-en-1-yl}-N-(methylsulfonyl)benzamide (SMP-534) reduces extracellular matrix (ECM) production induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) in vitro and prevents the accumulation of ECM in glomeruli in rat Thy-1 nephritis models.
5013 16278277 Treatment with SMP-534 dose dependently suppressed the increase of urinary albumin and type IV collagen excretion in db/db mice.
5014 16280473 Cox regression analysis showed that AF was an independent predictor of overall and cardiovascular mortality (for overall mortality odds ratio [OR] 3.9), as were pre-existing cardiovascular disease (CVD; OR 3.1), C-reactive protein (OR 1.1), and serum albumin (OR 0.3).
5015 16288759 There was no significant difference in age, time on HD, serum albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) between those positive and negative for IgA antibodies.
5016 16288759 Serological IgA and IgG antibody positivity did not influence mortality, while multiple Cox proportional hazards analysis revealed that diabetes, ischemic changes on electrocardiogram, log-transformed CRP and intact parathyroid hormone were independent determinants of cardiovascular death.
5017 16296406 The new criteria are as follows: 1) Urinary albumin should be determined by immunoassay using a morning spot urine sample in diabetic patients without proteinuria or with dipstick-positive(+ 1) proteinuria. 2) A urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio ranging from 30 to 299 mg/ gCr in 2 or more of 3 specimens may be diagnosed as microalbuminuria. 3) Two alternatives, i.e. the urinary albumin excretion rate of 30-299 mg/24hr in 24hr urine collection or 20-199 microg/min in timed urine collection can be used to detect microalbuminuria. 4) Renal hypertrophy and elevated urinary type IV collagen may indicate the existence of diabetic renal disease. 5) Microalbuminuria originating in non-diabetic diseases should be excluded.
5018 16324921 High-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, monocyte chemotactic protein 1, interleukin 6, urine albumin-creatinine ratio, hemoglobin A(1c), total cholesterol, and LDL-C were measured at baseline and after 8 and 16 weeks of treatment.
5019 16324921 Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, monocyte chemotactic protein 1, and interleukin 6 were not changed.
5020 16336586 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha gene expression in diabetic nephropathy: relationship with urinary albumin excretion and effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition.
5021 16358671 The fatty acid modification allows insulin detemir to reversibly bind to albumin, thereby providing slow absorption and a prolonged metabolic effect (up to 24 hours) with low variability.
5022 16374433 Urinary albumin excretion, measured as the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), was determined in 426 diabetic and 431 nondiabetic relatives who were genotyped for 383 markers.
5023 16375584 Multiple logistic regression analysis showed strong and significant association between diabetes mellitus (odds ratio, OR = 5.24, p < or = 0.0001), male gender (OR = 8.84, p < or =0.0001), Lp(a) (OR = 1.014, p < or =0.006), hypertension (OR = 2.61, p < or =0.02), apoB (OR = 1.031, p < or =0.001), age (OR = 1.055, p < or =0.003), phosphorus (OR = 2.438, p < or =0.01), albumin-adjusted calcium (OR = 1.532, p < or =0.05), cholesterol (OR = 1.009, p < or =0.05) and the occurrence of CHD.
5024 16375584 On the basis of bivariate correlation analysis, serum-adjusted calcium was positively correlated with the levels of cholesterol (r = 0.285, p < or =0.0001), LDL-C (r = 0.320, p < or =0.0001), Lp(a) (r = 0.173, p < or = 0.005), apoB (r = 0.237, p < or =0.0001), LDL-C/apoB ratio (r = 0.180, p < or= 0.007), apoAI (r = 0.181, p < or =0.003) and inversely to HDL-C (r = -0.146, p < or =0.02) and HDL-C/apoAI ratio (r = -0.263, p < or =0.0001).
5025 16377395 Serum albumin, C-reactive protein, interleukin 6, and fetuin a as predictors of malnutrition, cardiovascular disease, and mortality in patients with ESRD.
5026 16379788 Lisinopril inhibited the progression of renal albumin excretion in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
5027 16388709 Plasma oxidant status, and expression of Bcl-2, activated NF-kB, inducible Nitric Oxide synthase (iNOS), and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 in circulating monocytes were evaluated at baseline and after 8-week oral vitamin E treatment (600 mg b.i.d.).
5028 16388709 Bcl-2 down-regulation was associated with enhanced expression of NF-kB, iNOS and MCP-1, and showed a strong correlation with the albumin excretion rate.
5029 16389166 Thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor activity and global fibrinolytic capacity in Type 1 diabetes: evidence for normal fibrinolytic state.
5030 16389166 There is little information, however, regarding the status of fibrinolytic system in Type 1 diabetes, in particular as reflected by thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) activity and global fibrinolytic capacity (GFC).
5031 16389166 TAFI activity did not significantly correlate with age, albumin excretion, fasting plasma glucose, HbA(1c), D-dimer, and fibrinogen by Spearman rank correlation test.
5032 16389895 Pharmacological studies have shown that reversible albumin binding will protract absorption following subcutaneous injection but still allow the insulin molecule to be recognised by the insulin receptor following dissociation from the carrier protein.
5033 16389895 Together with an important buffering mechanism effected by plasma albumin binding, this explains a highly significant reduction of within-subject variability of pharmacodynamic response observed in repeat isoglycaemic clamp studies where insulin detemir was compared to other basal insulin products.
5034 16389895 No safety considerations have been identified in using albumin as an insulin carrier to protract and buffer insulin action.

5041 16398060 Preliminary results from a trial in diabetic patients who had uncontrolled hypertension and microalbuminuria despite optimal therapy with an ACE inhibitor or an ARB suggest that manidipine may be an excellent antihypertensive drug in combination with RAS inhibitor treatment in order to normalise BP and albumin excretion in patients with diabetes.
5042 16425979 In this study, we investigated (i) whether injection of AGE-proteins to normal rats stimulates CD40L expression on circulating platelets and (ii) whether AGEs up-regulate CD40 mRNA levels in cultured ECs.
5043 16425979 Platelet surface CD40L expression was increased in AGE-bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA)-injected rats, compared with nonglycated BSA administration.
5044 16425980 Inhibition by advanced glycation end products (AGEs) of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) gene expression in microvascular endothelial cells.
5045 16425980 Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a natural extracellular component of the retina with neuronal differentiating activity.
5046 16425980 Various types of immunochemically distinct AGEs, which were prepared in vitro by incubating bovine serum albumin with glucose, glyceraldehyde or glycolaldehyde, significantly decreased endothelial mRNA levels of PEDF Furthermore, H2O2 dose-dependently suppressed PEDF gene expression in ECs.
5047 16442234 This increased activity was attributable to butyrylcholinesterase and probably to albumin, because it was effectively inhibited by eserine and 4-bis-nitrophenyl phosphate (P<0.01).
5048 16443881 Albumin and fibrinogen synthesis and insulin effect in type 2 diabetic patients with normoalbuminuria.
5049 16445706 Superoxide dismutase (SOD), xanthine oxidase (XO) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were determined to evaluate changes in the anti-oxidant status of kidney tissue. 3.
5050 16445706 Therefore, on the basis of these data, we suggest that urinary NAG, albumin excretion, XO activity and MDA levels are more valuable parameters showing the degree of renal tubular injury than classical markers of oxidative stress, including SOD and GSH-Px, in diabetic rat kidneys.
5051 16449352 Effect of simvastatin on high glucose- and angiotensin II-induced activation of the JAK/STAT pathway in mesangial cells.
5052 16449352 We found that pretreatment with simvastatin significantly inhibited HG- and ANG II-induced collagen IV production, JAK2 activation, and phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3 in GMC.
5053 16449352 We also found that the activation of JAK2 by HG and ANG II was dependent on the Rho family of GTPases.
5054 16449352 Consistent with these in vitro results, both albumin protein excretion and phosphorylation of JAK2, STAT1, and STAT3 were attenuated in renal glomeruli by administration of simvastatin in a streptozotocin-induced rat model of HG diabetes.
5055 16449352 This study demonstrates that simvastatin blocks ANG II-induced activation of the JAK/STAT pathway in the diabetic environment, in vitro and in vivo, and, thereby, provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying early diabetic nephropathy.
5056 16451070 Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is a physiological insulin releasing peptide.

5058 16451070 GIP(Lys(16)PAL) and GIP(Lys(37)PAL) were resistant to dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) degradation.
5059 16451070 In vitro studies demonstrated that GIP analogues retained their ability to activate the GIP receptor through production of cAMP and to stimulate insulin secretion.
5060 16451070 Intraperitoneal administration of GIP analogues to obese diabetic (ob/ob) mice significantly decreased the glycemic excursion and elicited increased and prolonged insulin responses compared to native GIP.
5061 16451070 A protracted glucose-lowering effect was observed 24 h following GIP(Lys(37)PAL) administration.
5062 16452491 Exposure to total MPA, as determined by MPA clearance, significantly increased with increasing renal function, albumin level, and hemoglobin as well as decreasing cyclosporine predose level (P<0.001).
5063 16455066 Amadori-modified glycated albumin predominantly induces E-selectin expression on human umbilical vein endothelial cells through NADPH oxidase activation.
5064 16475909 To investigate this topic, we measured cardiac troponin T (cTnT), ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) and NT-prohormone-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in 35 consecutive patients with clinically ascertained PAD (stage 2-4, according to Lériche-Fontaine) asymptomatic for chest pain and current heart failure, and 20 controls displaying moderate to high cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia), but with no clinical evidence of PAD.
5065 16493495 Changes in adhesion molecule expression, i.e. vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and E-selectin were determined by cell-bound Elisa on human endothelial cells after incubation with CML-modified albumin and MGO-modified albumin.
5066 16493495 We demonstrated that CML-albumin or MGO-albumin did not induce activation of endothelial cells as measured by the expression of adhesion molecules, while, under the same conditions, TNF-alpha did.
5067 16493495 Changes in adhesion molecule expression, i.e. vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and E-selectin were determined by cell-bound Elisa on human endothelial cells after incubation with CML-modified albumin and MGO-modified albumin.

5087 16523407 Suppression of transforming growth factor-beta1 gene expression by Danggui buxue tang, a traditional Chinese herbal preparation, in retarding the progress of renal damage in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
5088 16523407 Streptozotocin-dependent alterations in renal weight/body weight ratio, urinary albumin and beta (2)-microglobulin concentrations, urinary albumin excretion rate, and creatinine clearance were ameliorated after eight weeks of treatment with either DBT or the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, benazepril.
5089 16523407 However, eight weeks of treatment with DBT failed to modify the concentration of angiotensin II in plasma or kidney, indicating that the ability of the preparation to retard the progression of kidney disease was not attributable to inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system.
5090 16538641 Blood samples were taken for measurements of SA, CDT, total transferrin, glucose, HbA1c, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein (CRP), and indicators of renal dysfunction (i.e., creatinine, urea, albumin excretion rate (AER), and glomerular filtration rate (GFR)).

5114 16644677 One of the mechanisms involved in the progression of diabetic nephropathy, the most common cause of end-stage renal failure, is angiogenic phenomenon associated with the increase of angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A and angiopoietin (Ang)-2, an antagonist of Ang-1.
5115 16644677 Increases in kidney weight, glomerular volume, creatinine clearance, urinary albumin excretion, total mesangial fraction, glomerular type IV collagen, glomerular endothelial area (CD31(+)), and monocyte/macrophage accumulation (F4/80(+)) observed in control db/db mice were significantly suppressed by daily intraperitoneal injection of NM-3 (100 mg/kg, for 8 weeks).

5120 16687627 The effects of advanced glycation end products (AGE) in the form of glycated albumin (GA) on the proinflammatory phenotype of cultured renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTEC) and the therapeutic potential of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) agonist were studied.
5121 16687627 Exposure to GA (up to 0.5 mg/ml) but not the equivalent dose of neat albumin significantly upregulated both mRNA and protein expression of IL-8 and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
5122 16687627 Using immunohistochemistry, ICAM-1 signals were detected in the tubular epithelia and peritubular capillaries in association with AGE deposition and leukocyte infiltration, whereas IL-8 staining was localized in the tubular epithelia of human diabetic kidney biopsies.
5123 16687627 Also in a dose-dependent manner, GA (0.5 mg/ml) but not albumin caused nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB and activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p44/p42 and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT-1).
5124 16687627 Rosiglitazone dose-dependently attenuated GA-induced IL-8 and ICAM-1 signals in PTEC and completely abolished GA-induced STAT-1 signals but had no effect on NF-kappaB and MAPK activation.

5141 16705146 Here, we characterized renal changes in the pdx1(PB)-HNF6 transgenic mouse that exhibits beta-cell dysfunction and nonobese hypoinsulinemic diabetes.
5142 16705146 The HNF6 males exhibited albuminuria as early as 10 wk of age, and the urinary albumin excretion increased with age, exceeding 150 microg/24 h at 11 mo of age.
5143 16705146 Immunohistochemistry showed accumulation of type IV collagen and TGF-beta1 in the mesangial area.
5144 16710642 Moreover, we looked for correlation among serum TSA, serum TSA/TP ratio and clinically relevant parameters such as urinary albumin excretion, blood pressure, diabetes duration, HbA1c, daily insulin dose, serum lipids and magnesium in type 1 diabetic patients.
5145 16717395 Body mass index negatively influences glycated albumin, but not glycated hemoglobin, in diabetic patients.

5150 16730843 Role of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and nuclear factor kappa B in the pathogenesis of proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
5151 16730843 Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) is a transcription factor, and NF-kappaB binding site is located in gene promoter of MCP-1.
5152 16730843 This study was conducted to investigate the potential role of MCP-1 and NF-kappaB in the pathogenesis of PDR.
5153 16730843 After the stimulation, we examined nuclear localization of NF-kappaB p50, MCP-1 promoter activity, and MCP-1 concentration in culture media.
5154 16730843 MCP-1 mRNA expression was significantly higher in PDR (74%) than in idiopathic ERMs (38%) (P < 0.05).
5155 16730843 Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that MCP-1 protein is colocalized with active form of NF-kappaB p50.
5156 16730843 In vitro studies demonstrated that glycated albumin or high glucose induces NF-kappaB activation followed by up-regulation of MCP-1 promoter activity and protein production in glial cells.
5157 16730843 These results suggest that MCP-1, under the regulation of NF-kappaB, is involved in the pathogenesis of PDR.
5158 16731829 Thiazolidinediones are ligands for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma, widely used as insulin sensitizer in type 2 diabetic patients and implicated in apoptosis, cell proliferation, and cell cycle regulation.
5159 16731829 Although similar HbA(1c) levels were observed in both groups, pioglitazone significantly inhibited glomerular hypertrophy and mesangial matrix expansion and reduced urinary albumin excretion compared with the insulin-treated group.
5160 16731829 In addition, pioglitazone significantly reduced the number of glomerular p27(Kip1)-positive cells.
5161 16731829 Pioglitazone suppressed high glucose-induced phosphorylation of p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase and reduced Bcl-2 and p27(Kip1) protein levels.
5162 16734145 Serum TGF-beta1 was significantly positively correlated with albumin excretion rate, fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels, serum cholesterol and HbA1c, these correlations were only found in diabetic patients with nephropathy but not in those without nephropathy or the control group.
5163 16736846 Insulin detemir is 98-99% albumin bound in plasma.
5164 16737844 The risk for liver cancer was significantly higher for males, patients with concurrent diabetes mellitus, patients with an alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level of 20ng/mL or higher, patients with higher body mass index (BMI), and patients with lower serum albumin levels.
5165 16777940 Here, we report that extracellular oleic acid complexed with albumin at an unbound concentration of 81 +/- 1 nm strongly activated K(ATP) channels and inhibited Kir2.1 channels in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells as well as endogenous Kir currents in human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells.
5166 16814919 Albumin undergoes structural and functional alterations, caused by increased glycosylation during non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, which is closely linked with the early occurrence of vascular complications.
5167 16839639 The final ANN was a multilayer perceptron network with six predictors including age, diabetes, hypertension, and blood biochemistries (hemoglobin, albumin, calcium).

5169 16891764 Protein kinase C beta inhibitor LY333531 attenuates intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 expression in the kidney in diabetic rats.
5170 16891764 In vitro studies have shown that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) is a key mediator of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in a range of cell types and in response to high glucose, however, its role in the in vivo setting has not been clearly delineated.
5171 16891764 LY333531 treatment significantly attenuated increased urinary albumin excretion rate and glomerular volume and tubulointerstitial injury index as well as elevated PKC activity and PKC-beta protein expression in the kidney.
5172 16891764 Increased macrophages recruitment as well as ICAM-1 and MCP-1 protein expression in the kidney were significantly inhibited by LY333531 in diabetic rats.
5173 16891764 It is concluded that mechanism of renoprotection of LY333531 may be correlated, at least partly, with suppression of increased macrophages recruitment and overexpression of ICAM-1 and MCP-1 in diabetic rats.
5174 16923438 Cardiovascular risk factors and renal function-related parameters (glomerular filtration rate, glomerular filtration rate slope, serum creatinine, serum urea nitrogen, hemoglobin, albumin, calcium, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone) were included in multivariate regression models to predict cardiovascular calcium.
5175 16939072 Laboratory data were as follows: calcium 9.9 mg/dl, albumin 3.3 g/dl, phosphate 3.0 mg/dl, Ca x P product 30, and parathyroid hormone 98 pg/ml.
5176 16940716 Male gender, age, time (months) of uraemia, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, albumin, calcium x phosphorus product, parathyroid hormone, and TC score are important determinants of QT dispersion.
5177 16947119 The distinct effect of diabetes induction on the pattern of rat plasma proteins includes the down-regulation of albumin, apolipoprotein E (Apo E), alpha1-inhibitor-3, fetuin beta, Gc-globulin, hemopexin, vitronectin, and transthyretin (TTR) monomer, and the up-regulation of Apo A-I, Apo A-IV, ceruloplasmin, alpha1-antitrypsin, serine protease inhibitor III, and transferrin.
5178 16949520 PON 1 genotypes Leu/Leu 54, AA(-162) and GG(-1074) were associated with higher urinary albumin loss, while the genotype GG(-907) was protective for retinopathy.
5179 16955103 Nephrin loss in experimental diabetic nephropathy is prevented by deletion of protein kinase C alpha signaling in-vivo.
5180 16955103 In PKCalpha-/- mice, hyperglycemia-induced downregulation of nephrin was prevented.
5181 16955103 In addition, the nephrin messenger RNA expression was also reduced in hyperglycemic wild-type mice but remained unaltered in PKCalpha-/- mice.
5182 16955103 We postulate that the underlying mechanism of the hyperglycemia-induced regulation of various proteins of the glomerular filtration barrier is a PKCalpha-dependent regulation of the Wilms' Tumor Suppressor (WT1) which previously has been shown to act as a direct transcription factor on the nephrin promoter.
5183 16955103 Our data suggest that PKCalpha activation may be an important intracellular signaling pathway in the regulation of nephrin expression and glomerular albumin permeability in the diabetic state.
5184 16966827 We measured serum levels of HA, body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), HbA1c, total cholesterol, triglyceride, glycated albumin (GA), high sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 and evaluated diabetes mellitus history, drug use and presence of related complications.
5185 16966829 Adiponectin is an adipose-derived protein which has anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties in addition to insulin-sensitizing effects.
5186 16966829 We determined serum and urinary adiponectin levels in type 2 diabetic patients with normoalbuminuria (n = 19), microalbuminuria (n = 18), and overt diabetic nephropathy (n = 16), and then analyzed the correlations between serum and urinary adiponectin, urinary N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG) as a clinical marker of renal tubular injury, urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) as an inflammatory marker in renal tubulointerstitium, and clinical markers of renal disease.

5189 16966829 Multiple linear regression analysis showed that serum creatinine and urinary adiponectin levels were independently associated with serum adiponectin levels (r(2) = 0.522), and that serum creatinine, urinary NAG, urinary MCP-1, and serum adiponectin levels were independent determinants of urinary adiponectin levels (r(2) = 0.851).

5192 16966829 In univariate linear regression analysis, serum adiponectin levels were positively correlated with serum creatinine (r = 0.648, P<0.0001), urinary albumin (r = 0.583, P<0.0001), urinary NAG (r = 0.406, P<0.01), urinary MCP-1 (r = 0.514, P<0.0001), and urinary adiponectin (r = 0.691, P<0.0001) levels in all diabetic patients.
5193 16966829 Urinary adiponectin levels were also positively correlated with serum creatinine (r = 0.729, P<0.0001), urinary albumin (r = 0.799, P<0.0001), urinary NAG (r = 0.701, P<0.0001), and urinary MCP-1 (r = 0.801, P<0.0001) levels in all diabetic patients.
5194 16966829 Multiple linear regression analysis showed that serum creatinine and urinary adiponectin levels were independently associated with serum adiponectin levels (r(2) = 0.522), and that serum creatinine, urinary NAG, urinary MCP-1, and serum adiponectin levels were independent determinants of urinary adiponectin levels (r(2) = 0.851).
5195 16979162 Daily treatment with probucol, insulin, or their combination markedly suppressed the increase in the 24 h urinary albumin and lipid peroxide excretions.
5196 16983946 Serum albumin, hemoglobin, and phosphorus were obtained, but only phosphorus was associated with QOL on univariate analysis (p = 0.05) and therefore included in the multivariate model.
5197 16984235 Short-term suppression of elevated growth hormone concentrations following insulin-like growth factor 1 administration in young adults with type 1 diabetes does not alter glomerular filtration or albumin excretion rates.

5206 17018845 Glomerular cells in culture respond to albumin containing Amadori glucose adducts (the principal serum glycated protein), with activation of protein kinase C-beta(1), increased expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1, the TGF-beta type II signaling receptor, and the extracellular matrix proteins alpha(1)(IV) collagen and fibronectin and with decreased production of the podocyte protein nephrin.
5207 17018845 Decreasing the burden of glycated albumin in diabetic db/db mice significantly reduces glomerular overexpression of TGF-beta1 mRNA, restores glomerular nephrin immunofluorescence, and lessens proteinuria, mesangial expansion, renal extracellular matrix protein production, and increased glomerular vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) immunostaining.
5208 17018845 In the present study, db/db mice were treated with a small molecule, designated 23CPPA, that inhibits the nonenzymatic condensation of glucose with the albumin protein to evaluate whether increased glycated albumin influences the production of VEGF receptors (VEGFRs) and type IV collagen subchains and ameliorates the development of renal insufficiency.

5217 17018845 Decreasing the burden of glycated albumin in diabetic db/db mice significantly reduces glomerular overexpression of TGF-beta1 mRNA, restores glomerular nephrin immunofluorescence, and lessens proteinuria, mesangial expansion, renal extracellular matrix protein production, and increased glomerular vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) immunostaining.

5225 17021266 Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expression has been shown to be altered in renal tubules from diabetic mice.
5226 17021266 This study examined the localization of ACE and ACE2 within the glomerulus of kidneys from control (db/m) and diabetic (db/db) mice and the effect of chronic pharmacologic ACE2 inhibition.
5227 17021266 For investigation of the significance of reduced glomerular ACE2 expression, db/db mice were treated for 16 wk with a specific ACE2 inhibitor (MLN-4760) alone or combined with telmisartan, a specific angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker.
5228 17021266 Urinary albumin excretion (UAE) increased significantly in MLN-4760-treated as compared with vehicle-treated db/db mice (743 +/- 200 versus 247 +/- 53.9 microg albumin/mg creatinine, respectively; P < 0.05), and the concomitant administration of telmisartan completely prevented the increase in UAE associated with the ACE2 inhibitor (161 +/- 56; P < 0.05).
5229 17021266 It is concluded that ACE2 is localized in the podocyte and that in db/db mice glomerular expression of ACE2 is reduced whereas glomerular ACE expression is increased.
5230 17021266 The finding that chronic ACE2 inhibition increases UAE suggests that ACE2, likely by modulating the levels of glomerular angiotensin II via its degradation, may be a target for therapeutic interventions that aim to reduce albuminuria and glomerular injury.
5231 17022745 All patients were subjected to full history and clinical examination, predialysis laboratory assessment of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine, albumin, and hemoglobin, serial assessment of magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone at the start of the hemodialysis session, 2 hr later, and at the end of the session, blood pH, and electrocardiogram (ECG) presession and postsession.
5232 17031073 To elucidate the involvement of cyclooxygenase (COX) in degradation of aggregated protein in diabetic glomeruli, we used streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice and aggregated bovine serum albumin (a-BSA) as a model protein.
5233 17034892 The results in human serum in vitro indicated that the half-life of the synthesized SS-Ins derivatives was 2.3 and 2.7 times more than that of bovine serum albumin-insulin (BSA-Ins) conjugates and intact insulin, respectively.
5234 17061448 [Influence of blood pressure level on urinary albumin excretion rate and erythropoietin production in diabetic patients].
5235 17083064 Effects of ACE inhibition and angiotensin II receptor blockade on glomerular basement membrane protein excretion and charge selectivity in type 2 diabetic patients.
5236 17083064 Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors may reduce urinary albumin excretion (UAE) by decreasing glomerular pressure and increasing glomerular charge selectivity through preservation of glycosaminoglycans.
5237 17083064 The aim of this study was to compare the effects of an AT1 blocker losartan and an ACE inhibitor (ACE-I) enalapril on UAE, extracellular matrix proteins, glycosaminoglycan excretion (UGAG) and red blood cell anionic charge (RBCCh) which are the indirect markers of glomerular basement membrane anionic content in hypertensive Type 2 diabetic patients.
5238 17083064 ACE inhibition and AT1-receptor blockade may have favourable effects on preserving glomerular anionic content in hypertensive diabetic patients.
5239 17086090 In a separate study, albumin increased MCP-1 release from cultured tubular epithelial cells.
5240 17089581 For inclusion in this study, the patient's percent plasma hemoglobin had to be 8 g/dl or less (the pretransfusion hemoglobin in this series varied from 5.2 g/dl to 7.8 g/dl) in the background of type two diabetes (fasting sugar 200 mg or more), along with features of microalbuminuria (albumin excretion 30-299 mg/g creatinine).
5241 17089581 In Group A the rise of hemoglobin (Hgb) after two units of adult blood transfusion was 1.5 to 1.8 g/dl, as seen after a 72-hour blood sample assessment.
5242 17130494 Palmitate slightly augmented insulin secretion only at the supraphysiological palmitate-to-albumin ratio of 5.
5243 17130503 High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin (IL)-6, fibrinogen, adhesion molecules, transforming growth factor-beta, and AGE peptides were assessed.
5244 17130503 Changes in IL-6 were associated with changes in albumin excretion (P = 0.04).
5245 17142138 This study was designed to investigate the effect of spironolactone, a representative aldosterone blocker, on adipocytokines such as adiponectin, visfatin, plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 and tumor necrosis factor alpha in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy: the study included 33 patients, 22 of whom were randomly assigned to the spironolactone (50 mg/d) group and 11 to the amlodipine (2.5 mg/d) group.
5246 17142138 Adiponectin and visfatin levels did not change in the spironolactone and amlodipine groups, but significant increases in these adipocytokines were found in a subgroup of patients in the spironolactone group with glycated hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)) 8.0% or greater (11.8 +/- 6.4 to 13.3 +/- 7.4 microg/mL, P = .0344; and 1.39 +/- 0.92 to 2.26 +/- 0.76 ng/mL, P =.0397, respectively).
5247 17142138 Moreover, neither spironolactone nor amlodipine therapy caused a change in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein or soluble CD40 ligand, but a significant decrease in the level of brain natriuretic peptide was found in the spironolactone group only.
5248 17142138 Furthermore, significant increases of HbA(1c), creatinine, potassium, and aldosterone levels and plasma renin activity, and a decrease in urinary albumin excretion were also observed only in the spironolactone group.
5249 17142138 In conclusion, our data suggest that in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by diabetic nephropathy, spironolactone can decrease plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 and brain natriuretic peptide levels in addition to urinary albumin excretion, and systolic blood pressure, and that in patients with poor glycemic control, spironolactone can increase the levels of adiponectin and visfatin.
5250 17142138 This study was designed to investigate the effect of spironolactone, a representative aldosterone blocker, on adipocytokines such as adiponectin, visfatin, plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 and tumor necrosis factor alpha in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy: the study included 33 patients, 22 of whom were randomly assigned to the spironolactone (50 mg/d) group and 11 to the amlodipine (2.5 mg/d) group.

5252 17142138 Moreover, neither spironolactone nor amlodipine therapy caused a change in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein or soluble CD40 ligand, but a significant decrease in the level of brain natriuretic peptide was found in the spironolactone group only.
5253 17142138 Furthermore, significant increases of HbA(1c), creatinine, potassium, and aldosterone levels and plasma renin activity, and a decrease in urinary albumin excretion were also observed only in the spironolactone group.
5254 17142138 In conclusion, our data suggest that in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by diabetic nephropathy, spironolactone can decrease plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 and brain natriuretic peptide levels in addition to urinary albumin excretion, and systolic blood pressure, and that in patients with poor glycemic control, spironolactone can increase the levels of adiponectin and visfatin.
5255 17159300 Comparison of glycated albumin (GA) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in type 2 diabetic patients: usefulness of GA for evaluation of short-term changes in glycemic control.
5256 17164779 To determine whether continuous expression of GLP-1 in vivo can regenerate beta cells and remit type 1 diabetes in mice for a prolonged time, we constructed an adenoviral vector containing the cytomegalovirus promoter/enhancer and albumin leader sequence followed by GLP-1 cDNA (rAd-GLP-1).
5257 17164779 We suggest that regeneration of insulin-producing cells by GLP-1 gene therapy may be a potential method for prolonged control of type 1 diabetes in humans.
5258 17169447 Multivariate analysis showed that, in groups, comorbidity and functional status, creatinine, albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP) and total cholesterol were all associated with IRH.
5259 17178005 Value of serum glycated albumin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels in the prediction of presence of coronary artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.
5260 17190910 Thiazolidinedione (TZD), a ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma), exerts anti-inflammatory effects independently of the insulin-sensitizing effect.
5261 17190910 Pioglitazone reduced urinary albumin excretion and glomerular hypertrophy, suppressed the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, type IV collagen, and ICAM-1, and infiltration of macrophages in the kidneys of diabetic rats.
5262 17190910 High-glucose conditions increased the expression of ICAM-1 and the activation of NF-kappaB in cultured glomerular endothelial cells.
5263 17190910 Our results suggest that the preventive effects of pioglitazone may be mediated by its anti-inflammatory actions, including inhibition of NF-kappaB activation, ICAM-1 expression, and macrophage infiltration in the diabetic kidney.
5264 17224327 The urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR), body weight (BW), levels of fasting and casual blood glucose, blood glycated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)), fasting serum insulin, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (T-Cho), and 3-deoxyglucosone (3DG), and systemic blood pressure were measured as biochemical parameters.
5265 17224327 Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) and laminin-beta1 messenger RNA expressions in the kidneys were evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction.
5266 17224327 TGF-beta1 and laminin-beta1 messenger RNA expressions in kidneys were significantly lower than those in the controls.
5267 17229939 OBJECTIVE-SUMO4 mRNA was recently found to be mainly expressed in the kidney, and the methionine-to-valine substitution at codon 55 (M55V) variant of SUMO4 may induce higher nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activity.
5268 17229939 Because NF-kappaB is known to mediate the development of diabetic nephropathy, we examined the association between the SUMO4 M55V variant and the severity of diabetic nephropathy.
5269 17229939 The M55V (rs237025, 163A-->G) polymorphism of SUMO4 was genotyped by real-time PCR, and urine albumin concentration was measured by radioimmunoassay.
5270 17259378 The protein kinase C (PKC)-beta isoform has been implicated to play a pivotal role in the development of diabetic kidney disease.
5271 17259378 After 8 weeks of diabetes, the high-glucose-induced renal and glomerular hypertrophy, as well as the increased expression of extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen and fibronectin, was reduced in PKC-beta(-/-) mice.
5272 17259378 Furthermore, the high-glucose-induced expression of the profibrotic cytokine transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 and connective tissue growth factor were significantly diminished in the diabetic PKC-beta(-/-) mice compared with diabetic wild-type mice, suggesting a role of the PKC-beta isoform in the regulation of renal hypertrophy.
5273 17259378 Notably, increased urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio persisted in the diabetic PKC-beta(-/-) mice.
5274 17259378 The loss of the basement membrane proteoglycan perlecan and the podocyte protein nephrin in the diabetic state was not prevented in the PKC-beta(-/-) mice as previously demonstrated in the nonalbuminuric diabetic PKC-alpha(-/-) mice.
5275 17259378 In summary, the differential effects of PKC-beta deficiency on diabetes-induced renal hypertrophy and albuminuria suggest that PKC-beta contributes to high-glucose-induced TGF-beta1 expression and renal fibrosis, whereas perlecan, as well as nephrin, expression and albuminuria is regulated by other signaling pathways.
5276 17259382 Evidence for a role of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 in the induction of postglomerular albuminuria in diabetic nephropathy: amelioration by soluble TGF-beta type II receptor.
5277 17259382 Here we report for the first time the use of a high-affinity TGF-beta1 binding molecule, the soluble human TGF-beta type II receptor (sTbetaRII.Fc), in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy in 12-week streptozotocin-induced diabetic Sprague-Dawley rats.
5278 17259382 In vitro studies using immortalized rat proximal tubule cells revealed that 50 pmol/l TGF-beta1 disrupted albumin uptake (P < 0.001 vs. control), an inhibition significantly reversed by the use of the sTbetaRII.Fc (1,200 pmol/l).
5279 17259382 This was correlated with an increase in megalin expression (P < 0.05 for diabetic vs. treated) and a reduction in collagen IV expression following sTbetaRII.Fc treatment (P < 0.001 for diabetic vs. treated).
5280 17261080 Characterisation and glucoregulatory actions of a novel acylated form of the (Pro3)GIP receptor antagonist in type 2 diabetes.
5281 17261080 In this study, we tested the biological activity of a novel acylated form of (Pro3)glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypetide [(Pro3)GIP] prepared by conjugating palmitic acid to Lys16 to enhance its efficacy in vivo by promoting binding to albumin and extending its biological actions.
5282 17261080 Like the parent molecule (Pro3)GIP, (Pro3)GIPLys16PAL was completely stable to the actions of DPP-IV and significantly (p<0.01 to p<0.001) inhibited GIP-stimulated cAMP production and cellular insulin secretion.
5283 17261080 Furthermore, acute administration of (Pro3)GIPLys16PAL also significantly (p<0.05 to p<0.001) countered the glucose-lowering and insulin-releasing actions of GIP in ob/ob mice.
5284 17261080 These data demonstrate that acylation of Lys16 with palmitic acid in (Pro3)GIP does not improve its biological effectiveness as a GIP receptor antagonist.

5302 17294035 In the present study, we investigated whether glycated serum albumin (GSA) has a synergistic effect with insulin on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).
5303 17294035 VSMCs were isolated from rat thoracic aortas and cultured in fetal bovine serum (FBS)-free medium for 24 h, then exposed to GSA, insulin or GSA + insulin for 48 h with or without pretreatment of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors or the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC).
5304 17294035 The changes of phosphorylated-p38 MAPK and phosphorylated-C-Jun N-terminal kinase 1/2 (JNK1/2) were measured by Western blot analysis.
5305 17294035 The results showed that only p38 MAPK, but not JNK was activated by GSA and insulin co-incubation.

5410 17699218 In a cross-sectional evaluation of 115 prevalent (vintage 25 mo) HD patients (62 men; 63 +/- 1 yr), data on comorbidity (Davies score), diabetes, medication (statins and antihypertensive drugs), nutritional status (subjective global assessment), blood lipids (cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides), inflammatory biomarkers (serum albumin, C-reactive protein, TNF-alpha, and IL-6), oxidative stress biomarkers (pentosidine, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine, and MPO activity) were recorded.
5411 17699218 Patients with MPO activity greater than the median had significantly (P < 0.05) lower serum albumin levels (33.2 +/- 0.7 versus 35.0 +/- 0.5 g/L), higher 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine levels (1.26 +/- 0.08 versus 1.05 +/- 0.06 ng/ml), and a lower prevalence of statin treatment (18 versus 36%).
5412 17699218 Therefore, the median MPO activity was significantly (P < 0.05) lower (17.7 versus 26.6 deltaOD630/min per mg protein) in the subgroup of 31 HD patients with ongoing statin treatment.
5413 17699218 In a multiple regression model, correction for the impact of age, gender, vintage, serum cholesterol, serum albumin, comorbidity, diabetes, and statin use, only diabetes (P < 0.01) and statin use (P < 0.01) were significantly associated to MPO activity.
5414 17699218 Fourteen patients who had diabetes and were receiving statin treatment had markedly (P = 0.001) lower median (19.9 versus 41.2 deltaOD630/min per mg protein) MPO activity compared with 18 who had diabetes and were not taking statins.
5415 17699218 This cross-sectional study suggests that both diabetes and statin treatment affect MPO activity in prevalent HD patients.

5532 17950094 Glucose levels, insulin levels, lipid profile, serum adiponectin, pulse wave velocity (PWV), and urinary albumin excretion rate (AER) were assessed before and after 3 months in 28 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus randomly allocated to either miglitol 150 mg/d or mitiglinide 30 mg/d.
5533 17950094 The significant increase in adiponectin by miglitol was inversely correlated with the ratio of the 60-minute change in blood glucose at 3 months divided by the change at baseline (r = -0.59, P = .020), which was independent of the effect of age, sex, changes in hemoglobin A(1c) and BMI, and the baseline concentration of adiponectin.

5542 17950112 Activated NF-kappaB binds to sites on the SHP2 promoter, resulting in increased SHP2 expression, SHP2 activity, and, ultimately, SMC proliferation.
5543 17957564 To these purposes, we performed: (i) measurement of basal and thrombin-stimulated [Ca(2+)](i) in platelets isolated from type 2 diabetic patients and from normal subjects of young (27 +/- 7 years), mature (48 +/- 12 years) and older (>60 years) age, and (ii) quantitation of [Ca(2+)](i) when platelets of young healthy subjects were exposed to 25.5 mM glucose (vs. 11 mM glucose), 0.23-1.7 mM AGE-poly-L-lysine (vs. poly-L-lysine), 0.3-2.26 mM AGE-albumin (vs. albumin), and to 10 mM and 100 mM H(2)O(2).
5544 17957564 The results showed that: (i) in physiological conditions, [Ca(2+)](i) was approximately 10% increased in the platelets of the mature subjects, and approximately 33% enhanced at the older group (vs. young), sustaining that biological ageing is associated with accumulation of free [Ca(2+)](i) within the platelets cytoplasm; (ii) in type 2 diabetes, [Ca(2+)](i) was approximately 16% and approximately 27% higher in the platelets of mature and older patients, respectively (vs. age-matched normals), demonstrating that ageing of diabetics is accompanied by alterations in calcium balance (vs. physiological ageing); (iii) thrombin (1U/ml) induced approximately 39% increase of [Ca(2+)](i) in platelets of matures and approximately 29% at older normals, and approximately 34% increase at the mature diabetics, approximately 84% at the older diabetics (vs. no thrombin condition), indicating that under thrombin stimulation simultaneous insults of diabetes and advanced age produced a higher thrombin-evoked mobilization of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores; (iv) the components of the diabetic milieu had various effects on platelet free [Ca(2+)](i): high enhancement ( approximately 73%) in 25.5 mM glucose (vs. 11 mM glucose), a minor increase ( approximately 15%) in 100 mM H(2)O(2), and a decrease (by approximately 56% and approximately 132%) in 1.7 mM AGE- poly-L-lysine (vs. poly-L-lysine) and 2.26 mM AGE- albumin (vs. albumin), respectively.

5547 17980929 We compared serum CysC levels with serum creatinine levels, urinary concentrations of albumin, transferrin and type IV collagen, and creatinine clearance (Ccr).
5548 17990071 The two groups showed no significant difference with respect to age, gender, hemoglobin, serum albumin, peritoneal dialysis and icodextrin vintage, peritoneal membrane characteristics, CCPD prescription, and peritoneal and residual renal clearance.
5549 17994445 Twelve months of the pravastatin treatment did not affect urinary levels of albumin, transferrin, N-acetylglucosaminidase, or MCP-1 in the hyperlipidemic diabetic patients, whereas the treatment significantly reduced serum levels of MCP-1 in the patients.
5550 17994445 No significant correlation was observed between serum LDL-C and MCP-1 levels in all the data in the hyperlipidemic patients before and after the pravastatin treatment and in the non-hyperlipidemic patients.
5551 18022929 Urinary NAG, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (AP) activities, urea, creatinine, and albumin, with levels of serum glucose and creatinine and whole blood glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were measured in 32 diabetes mellitus patients and 25 healthy subjects (controls).
5552 18039803 Association between serum bioavailable testosterone concentration and the ratio of glycated albumin to glycated hemoglobin in men with type 2 diabetes.
5553 18094675 Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers can decrease hemoglobin, causing anemia and this may be an independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease progression.
5554 18094675 We studied the relationship between a decline in hemoglobin and outcome in 1513 patients with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease by a post hoc analysis of the RENAAL Study (Reduction of Endpoints in NIDDM with the Angiotensin II Antagonist Losartan) with an average follow-up of 3.4 years.
5555 18094675 The relationship between baseline and year-1 hemoglobin and treatment on end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and ESRD or death was evaluated using multivariate Cox models (covariates: baseline hemoglobin, proteinuria, serum albumin, serum creatinine, and year-1 hemoglobin).
5556 18157951 The following parameters were measured: 1) serum glucose, urea, creatinine and hydroxyl free radical (HFR) levels; 2) blood glutathione redox state; 3) urine albumin concentration; 4) hepatic and renal HFR levels, GSH/GSSG ratios, cysteine contents and the activities of the enzymes of glutathione metabolism; and 5) the activity of renal NADPH oxidase.
5557 18188413 Laboratory investigation included serum asparate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, albumin, fasting blood sugar, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting immunoreactive insulin, and HOMA-R (FBS*IRI/405).
5558 18200568 Cardiac troponin T (cTnT), creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK MB), myoglobin, and ischemia modified albumin (IMA), were assayed in 45 patients prehemodialysis (pre-HD) and posthemodialysis (post-HD), and results were adjusted for hemoconcentration.
5559 18200568 A significant (105.0 vs. 79.0 K units/L, P<0.0001) and variable (+38%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 12-65%) increase of serum IMA was observed post-HD, whereas the other biomarkers significantly decreased (cTnT: 0.029 vs. 0.044 ng/mL, P=0.016; CK-MB: 2.33 vs. 2.50 microg/L, P<0.0001; myoglobin: 128.1 vs. 148.7 microg/L, P<0.0001).
5560 18201373 The objective of the study was to analyse levels of IL-12 and TNF-alpha and relate the findings to the occurrence of microangiopathy in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM).
5561 18201373 Serum levels of IL-12 and TNF-alpha were measured by an immunoenzymatic ELISA technique.
5562 18201373 TNF-alpha and IL-12 tended to be simultaneously present or absent in the sera of 50% of the children who had not developed complications, thus indicating a state of cytokine's equilibrium.
5563 18201373 Among the patients with an established retinopathy, two IL-12/TNF-alpha combinations were visible.
5564 18201373 Either a lack of detectable TNF-alpha was accompanied by measurable IL-12 serum concentrations or TNF-alpha incidence was associated with undetectable IL-12 values.
5565 18201373 Simultaneous lack of TNF-alpha and presence of IL-12 was associated with a better prognosis as these patients had a significantly lower albumin excretion rate.
5566 18201373 The state of equilibrium between TNF-alpha and IL-12 is beneficial in patients at early stages of the disease, prior to the occurrence of complications.
5567 18201373 It may suggest that a disharmony between pro- and anti-angiogenic function of these cytokines underlie the mechanism by which TNF-alpha and IL-12 shape the disease course.
5568 18202537 In catechin-fed rats, amounts of 8-OH dG and albumin excreted into the urine determined on days 71-72, and kidney ACE activity determined on day 76, were lower than those in control rats.
5569 18203644 The ezrin, radixin and moesin protein family is a new class of advanced glycation endproduct-binding protein and we hypothesize that advanced glycation endproducts mediate some of their detrimental effects leading to diabetic complications by inhibiting ezrin's actions.

5574 18259041 Diabetes was associated with the following increases: 3.2-fold in urine albumin excretion, 6.3-fold in glomerulosclerosis, 6.0-fold in tubulointerstitial fibrosis, 1.6-fold in collagen type I, 1.2-fold in collagen type IV, 1.3-fold in transforming growth factor-beta protein expression, and 32.7-fold in CD68-positive cell abundance.
5575 18273753 In two osteoblast-like cell lines (UMR106 and MC3T3E1), AGE-modified albumin induced cell death, caspase-3 activity, altered intracellular oxidative stress and inhibited alkaline phosphatase activity.
5576 18283629 Flowcytometric analyses revealed that a 5-day incubation time of CD14+ monocytes with IFNalpha results in a steady increase of CD56 surface expression of these cells from 25% (+/-2%) on day 1 up to 68% (+/-11%) on day 5.
5577 18283629 By comparing both cell types in more detail we found a significant decrease of CD14 expression on CD56+ IFN-DCs (66+/-6%) compared to CD56- IFN-DCs (76+/-6%).
5578 18283629 On the basis of functional tests, CD56+ IFN-DCs revealed a slightly increased phagocytosis capacity compared to CD56- IFN-DCs as only 82% of CD56- IFN-DCs showed a positive intracytoplasmatic signal after 60 minutes coculturing with FITC-labeled albumin, whereas 91% of CD56+ IFN-DCs were positive.

5632 18293283 An asymptomatic 70-year-old Hispanic woman with type 2 diabetes was found in 2004 to have an AST of 132 U/L, ALT 146 U/L, alkaline phosphatase 1107 U/L, total serum bilirubin 3.5 mg/dL, and albumin 2.9 g/dL.
5633 18293283 Serum IgG and IgA, but NOT IgM, were elevated.
5634 18296490 We evaluated changes in renal aldosterone content (RAC), aldosterone synthase expression, nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6), transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta), glomerular fibronectin, collagen type IV and urinary albumin extraction (UAE) in response to the aldosterone synthase inhibitor FAD286.
5635 18296490 Compared with control rats, diabetic rats had higher levels of RAC by 488% (P < 0.01), NFkappaB by 293% (P < 0.01), TNFalpha by 356% (P < 0.01), IL-6 by 378% (P < 0.01), TGFbeta by 337% (P < 0.01) and UAE by 1122% (P < 0.01), and increased glomerular fibronectin and collagen type IV immunostaining.
5636 18296490 In diabetic rats, FAD286 reduced RAC (P < 0.01), UAE (P < 0.05), NFkappaB mRNA, TNFalpha mRNA, IL-6 mRNA and TGFbeta mRNA by 51, 41, 41 and 52% and also their proteins and decreased glomerular fibronectin and collagen type IV immunostaining.
5637 18300125 We aimed to study the relationship between the C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, and fibrinogen as cardiovascular risk factors in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients, in the early stage of their therapy.
5638 18300125 Twelve-hour fasting serum levels of glucose, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride, total protein, albumin, hemoglobin, CRP, and fibrinogen were obtained.

5646 18319571 There was no correlation between the CRP and albumin concentrations, but a weak negative correlation (r=-0.40) when excluding chronic intestinal diseases and nephrotic syndrome, which can cause protein loss.
5647 18337712 Here, we studied the time course of the antihypertensive and antiproteinuric effect of renin inhibition in 15 patients with type 2 diabetes and elevated urinary albumin/creatinine ratios (UACRs) to check whether aliskiren can decrease proteinuria.
5648 18350451 We found that PPE can effectively protect against aldose reductase activity and protein damage (albumin glycation), and showed that its action was mainly due to enriched polyphenolic content.
5649 18351395 We thus wanted to study another marker for distal tubular function, pi glutathione S-transferase (pi-GST) and compare this and THP with proximal tubular function evaluated with alpha-GST and alpha-1-microglobulin (HC) in patients with longer duration of diabetes.

5668 18431507 Adiponectin deficiency in mice induced oxidative stress, fusion of podocyte foot processes in the kidney glomerulus, and urinary albumin excretion.
5669 18431508 In cultured podocytes, adiponectin administration was associated with increased activity of AMPK, and both adiponectin and AMPK activation reduced podocyte permeability to albumin and podocyte dysfunction, as evidenced by zona occludens-1 translocation to the membrane.
5670 18431508 These effects seemed to be caused by reduction of oxidative stress, as adiponectin and AMPK activation both reduced protein levels of the NADPH oxidase Nox4 in podocytes.
5671 18431508 Ad(-/-) mice treated with adiponectin exhibited normalization of albuminuria, improvement of podocyte foot process effacement, increased glomerular AMPK activation, and reduced urinary and glomerular markers of oxidant stress.
5672 18431508 These results suggest that adiponectin is a key regulator of albuminuria, likely acting through the AMPK pathway to modulate oxidant stress in podocytes.
5673 18436664 A retrospective case-control study involving 1,288 blood samples collected during 1998-2006 from 18 dolphins (six cases and 12 age- and sex-matched healthy controls) was conducted to compare eosinophil and platelet counts; and serum proteins, albumin, globulins, bilirubin, gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT), cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, iron, and erythrocyte sedimentation rates.
5674 18442624 We then evaluated relationships of serum uric acid concentrations to degree of urinary albumin excretion as well as to major cardiovascular risk factors, including age, blood pressure, serum lipid concentration, and glycemic control (hemoglobin A1c).
5675 18442624 Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that serum uric acid concentration (beta=.281, P<.0001), duration of diabetes (beta=.253, P<.0001), hemoglobin A1c (beta=.166, P=.0034), serum triglyceride concentration (beta=.125, P=.0472), and systolic blood pressure (beta=.275, P=.0013) were independent determinants of logarithm of urinary albumin excretion.

5680 18446054 Polymorphisms in two genes, IL-1B and ACE, are associated with erythropoietin resistance in Korean patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
5681 18446054 We investigated the -511C/T polymorphism of the IL-1B gene and the I/D polymorphism of the ACE gene for any association with EPO resistance index (ERI) in maintenance hemodialysis patients (n=167).
5682 18446054 Because EPO responsiveness is multi-factorial, we also included other possible influences (age, sex, time on dialysis, ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker use, ferritin, transferrin saturation, intact PTH, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, albumin, Kt/V, and presence of diabetes mellitus) on ERI in our analyses.
5683 18446054 Multiple regression analysis showed significant association of the IL-1B-511CC and ACE DD polymorphisms with ERI (P=0.038 and P=0.004 in the recessive model, respectively).
5684 18446054 Our study indicates that the IL-1B-511C/T and ACE I/D polymorphisms may be useful genetic markers of EPO requirement in hemodialysis patients.
5685 18510382 Current methods of detection, including the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and measures of fasting plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)), or glycated albumin, can be time-consuming and uncomfortable for patients.

5712 18716362 However, significant decreases in MCP-1, IL-6, hsCRP, TNF(alpha), 8-epi-PGF(2alpha), 8-OHdG and ACR levels, and a significant increase in the plasma adiponectin level were detected in the AZ group, but not in the NF group.
5713 18716364 We measured blood counts, blood chemistry, bone alkaline phosphatase, intact-PTH, interleukin-6, osteoprotegerin (OPG), hemoglobin A1c, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and fetuin-A.
5714 18716364 Multiple regression analyses showed that low albumin and high OPG were associated with high CACS.
5715 18716364 Serum OPG was positively associated with high CACS and can be a useful screening tool for severe coronary calcification, whereas no association between fetuin-A and CACS was found.
5716 18716365 Changes in the urinary albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) from baseline were assessed in the valsartan monotherapy (VM) group (n=33), the amlodipine monotherapy (AM) group (n=36), the concomitant valsartan and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor group (VA) (n=33), and the concomitant amlodipine and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (AA) group (n=38).

5720 18775682 As a consequence of the prolonged intracellular Ca2+ rise following preincubation with glycated albumin, the S1P-induced activation of the Ca2+-dependent phosphatase, calcineurin (CaN) was increased.
5721 18775682 This resulted in increased S1P-induced activation of the Ca2+-dependent transcription factor, nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFATc).

5817 19505594 Human serum albumin (HSA) is known as a low affinity iron binding protein and it has been proposed as a ligand for the non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI) pool existing in the sera of iron-overload patients, but definitive evidence is still lacking.
5818 19539633 Endothelial cells are unique in expressing a second TGFbeta type I receptor, Alk1, as well as the co-receptor, endoglin which increases the affinity of the ligand to Alk1.
5819 19539633 In differentiated blood outgrowth endothelial cells from normal subjects Alk1 and endoglin are constitutively expressed.
5820 19539633 Incubation with high glucose (HG) and glycated albumin (gAlb) induces Alk5 and raises TGFbeta secretion 3-fold without affecting Alk1 or endoglin levels.
5821 19539633 This diabetic milieu accelerates cell proliferation, at least in part, through TGFbeta/Alk1-smad1/5 and probably involving VEGF as well as pro-migratory MMP2 downstream of Alk1.
5822 19539633 In contrast, HG/gAlb also increases caspase-3 activity (suggesting increased apoptosis) in part but not entirely using a TGFbeta/Alk5-smad2/3 pathway.

5828 19564954 The levels of urine sugar, blood glucose, HbA1C, G6P, AST, ALT, ACP, ALP, serum lipids except high density lipoprotein-bound cholesterol (HDL-c) and tissues like liver, kidney and heart lipids were significantly (p < 0.05) increased, however Hb, total protein, albumin, albumin:globulin (A:G) ratio, tissues protein and glycogen were significantly (p < 0.05) decreased in alloxan-induced diabetic rats.
5829 19576355 In multimarker models, these 4 biomarkers-urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), glycosylated hemoglobin, B-type natriuretic peptide, and fibrinogen-significantly predicted mortality, while 2-UACR and fibrinogen-significantly predicted CVD.

5836 19662717 The activities of plasma hepatic markers serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase, and levels of plasma urea, uric acid, creatinine, globulin, A/G ratio significantly decreased, whereas liver weight, total protein, and albumin increased.
5837 19667709 Microalbuminuria-increased urinary albumin excretion undetectable by traditional urinary dipstick-has been associated with insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and hypertension.
5838 19667709 Drugs that block the renin-angiotensin system, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), have been shown to reduce albuminuria, resulting in renal protection.
5839 19667709 As in microalbuminuria, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and dual-action beta-blockers help improve insulin sensitivity.
5840 19670106 Diurnal changes in urinary excretion of IgG, transferrin, and ceruloplasmin depend on diurnal changes in systemic blood pressure in normotensive, normoalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients.
5841 19670106 Previous studies of diabetic patients indicate that increased urinary excretion of certain plasma proteins (molecular radii <55 A), such as IgG, transferrin, and ceruloplasmin, precede the development of microalbuminuria.
5842 19670106 To clarify whether blood pressure changes influence urinary excretion of these proteins, we examined relationships between diurnal blood pressure changes measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and urinary excretion of IgG, transferrin, ceruloplasmin, alpha2-macroglobulin (88 A) and albumin (36 A) measured separately during the day and night in 20 healthy controls and 26 normotensive, normoalbuminuric diabetic patients.
5843 19670106 However, statistically significant correlations between diurnal changes in systolic blood pressure and those of urinary excretion of IgG, transferrin and ceruloplasmin were found in diabetic patients but not in controls.
5844 19670106 The present findings suggest that urinary excretion of IgG, transferrin, and ceruloplasmin are more easily affected than albuminuria by systemic blood pressure changes in normoalbuminuric diabetic patients.
5845 19670106 This is supported by our previous finding that urinary excretion of IgG, transferrin and ceruloplasmin increased while albuminuria did not following enhanced glomerular filtration rate after acute protein loading, which causes increased glomerular capillary pressure due to afferent arterioles dilation, mimicking diabetic intra-renal hemodynamics.
5846 19670106 Taken together, these findings suggest that urinary excretion of IgG, transferrin, and ceruloplasmin may be more sensitive indicators of glomerular capillary pressure change than albuminuria in normoalbuminuric diabetic patients.
5847 19674878 Serum biochemical parameters showed triglyceride reductions in treated animals of both sexes; in females, an increase in albumin and alanine aminotransferase levels and a reduction in total protein levels were noted.
5848 19679159 A large body of evidence suggests that Zn(2+) ions stimulate HRG-complex formation; however, under normal conditions the vast majority of Zn(2+) in the blood is bound to human serum albumin (HSA).
5849 19696094 Herein, we tested the hypothesis that glutathione S-transferase P (GSTP), the GST isoform that displays high catalytic efficiency with acrolein, protects against CY-induced urotoxicity by detoxifying acrolein.
5850 19696094 Treatment of wild-type (WT) and mGstP1/P2 null (GSTP-null) mice with CY caused hemorrhagic cystitis, edema, albumin extravasation, and sloughing of bladder epithelium; however, CY-induced bladder ulcerations of the lamina propria were more numerous and more severe in GSTP-null mice.
5851 19696094 There was no difference in hepatic microsomal production of acrolein from CY or urinary hydroxypropyl mercapturic acid output between WT and GSTP-null mice, but CY induced greater c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) and c-Jun, but not extracellular signal-regulated kinase or p38, activation in GSTP-null than in WT mice.
5852 19720957 Incident HTN was independently predicted by baseline systolic blood pressure (odds ratio [OR]: 1.60 per 10 mm Hg; 95% CI: 1.30 to 2.00; P<0.0001), waist circumference (OR: 1.10 per 10 cm; 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.30; P=0.04), and diabetes mellitus (OR: 2.73; 95% CI=1.77 to 4.21; P<0.0001), with no significant effect for age, sex, hemoglobin A1c, homeostatic model assessment index, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, plasma creatinine, or urine albumin:creatinine ratio.
5853 19733855 Cellular factors involved in CXCL8 expression induced by glycated serum albumin in vascular smooth muscle cells.
5854 19733855 GSA increased IL-8 transcription via promoter activation and enhanced CXCL8 release from VSMCs.
5855 19733855 GSA-induced promoter activation of the IL-8 gene was suppressed by dominant-negative mutants of TLR-4, MyD88, and TRIF, but not by a dominant-negative form of TLR-2.
5856 19733855 Mutation at the NF-kappaB- or C/EBP-binding site, but not at the AP-1-binding site, in the IL-8 promoter region suppressed GSA-induced promoter activation.
5857 19733855 This study suggests that GSA induces expression of IL-8 in VSMCs and that TLR-4, mitogen-activated protein kinases, NF-kappaB, and NADPH oxidase are involved in that process.

6071 20447043 Serum albumin, lipid profile, calcium, phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) levels were also measured.
6072 20452083 Evaluation of error levels in hemoglobin A1c and glycated albumin in type 2 diabetic patients due to inter-individual variability.
6073 20457824 We assessed daily weight, food and water intake, urine volume and final day measurements of the following: plasma sodium, potassium, chloride, urea, creatinine, calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, albumin, cholesterol and glucose; and urinary sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphate, glucose and protein in 24- to 30-week-old C3H/HeH, BALB/cAnNCrl and C57BL/6J mice.
6074 20479236 An insertion polymorphism of the angiotensin-I converting enzyme gene (ACE) is common in humans and the higher expressing allele is associated with an increased risk of diabetic complications.
6075 20479236 The ACE polymorphism does not significantly affect blood pressure or angiotensin II levels, suggesting that the kallikrein-kinin system partly mediates the effects of the polymorphism.
6076 20479236 We have therefore explored the influence of lack of both bradykinin receptors (B1R and B2R) on diabetic nephropathy, neuropathy, and osteopathy in male mice heterozygous for the Akita diabetogenic mutation in the insulin 2 gene (Ins2).
6077 20479236 We find that all of the detrimental phenotypes observed in Akita diabetes are enhanced by lack of both B1R and B2R, including urinary albumin excretion, glomerulosclerosis, glomerular basement membrane thickening, mitochondrial DNA deletions, reduction of nerve conduction velocities and of heat sensation, and bone mineral loss.
6078 20479236 Absence of the bradykinin receptors also enhances the diabetes-associated increases in plasma thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, mitochondrial DNA deletions, and renal expression of fibrogenic genes, including transforming growth factor beta1, connective tissue growth factor, and endothelin-1.
6079 20479236 Thus, lack of B1R and B2R exacerbates diabetic complications.
6080 20479236 The enhanced renal injury in diabetic mice caused by lack of B1R and B2R may be mediated by a combination of increases in oxidative stress, mitochondrial DNA damage and over expression of fibrogenic genes.
6081 20497120 This Review highlights key aspects of protein (18)F-labeling method and discussed representative examples including (18)F-labeled human serum albumin, (18)F-labeled Annexin V, (18)F-labeled HER2 affibody, and (18)F-labeled low density lipoprotein.
6082 20525748 At 12 weeks, rats given STZ alone revealed an increase in blood glucose and were unaffected by spironolactone, whereas the STZ+SPL group showed considerable improvement in urine albumin and podocyte excretion, as well as up-regulation of integrin alpha 3.
6083 20528630 The aim of this study was to compare the effects of adding manidipine to the treatment of patients with essential hypertension and persistent albuminuria, despite full-dose treatment with a renin-angiotensin system blocker on urinary albumin excretion (UAE) after 24 weeks of therapy.
6084 20555331 Then, the effects on blood pressure, urinary albumin excretion (UAE), type IV collagen and beta(2)-microglobulin (beta2MG) were determined.
6085 20559032 Influence of C-reactive protein and urinary protein excretion on prediction of graft failure and mortality by serum albumin in renal transplant recipients.
6086 20570598 Addition of a cysteine to glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) conjugates GLP-1 to albumin in serum and prolongs GLP-1 action in vivo.
6087 20570598 Importantly, in glucose tolerance tests mice treated with mGLP-1 exhibited much lower glucose levels and much higher insulin levels versus that in mice treated with unmodified GLP-1.
6088 20587875 Blood samples of the patients were drawn for hematological (hemoglobin, hematocrit), biochemical (urea, creatinine, uric acid, albumin) and beta2-m level measurement.

6090 20621183 Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) gene deficiency alleviates diabetic kidney disease.
6091 20621183 This study evaluated the role for PARP-1 in diabetic kidney disease using the PARP-1-deficient mouse.
6092 20621183 PARP-1 protein expression (Western blot analysis) in the renal cortex was similar in non-diabetic and diabetic wild-type mice (100% and 107%) whereas all knockouts were PARP-1-negative.
6093 20621183 PARP-1 gene deficiency reduced urinary albumin (ELISA) and protein excretion prevented diabetes-induced kidney hypertrophy, and decreased mesangial expansion and collagen deposition (both assessed by histochemistry) as well as fibronectin expression.
6094 20621183 Renal podocyte loss (immunohistochemistry) and nitrotyrosine and transforming growth factor-β₁ accumulations (both by ELISA) were slightly lower in diabetic PARP-1-/- mice, but the differences with diabetic wild-type group did not achieve statistical significance.
6095 20621183 In conclusion, PARP-1-/- gene deficiency alleviates although does not completely prevent diabetic kidney disease.
6096 20633945 On the other hand, HbA(1C), glycated albumin, fasting plasma glucose, and OGTT 2-h plasma glucose were not different between the subjects of these two groups.
6097 20634296 Here, we analyzed a subset of 701 patients with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy participating in the Reduction of Endpoints in Non Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus with the Angiotensin II Antagonist Losartan (RENAAL) trial to compare the ability of urinary protein excretion (UPE) and urinary albumin excretion (UAE) from a 24-hour urine collection and urinary albumin concentration (UAC) and the albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR) from a first-morning void in predicting renal events.
6098 20668146 One-year reductions in body weight and blood pressure, but not in visceral fat accumulation and adiponectin, improve urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio in middle-aged Japanese men.
6099 20682777 Growth hormone (GH)-dependent expression of a natural antisense transcript induces zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2) in the glomerular podocyte: a novel action of gh with implications for the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.
6100 20682777 To elucidate the molecular basis for the effects of GH on the podocyte, we conducted microarray and RT-quantitative PCR analyses of immortalized human podocytes and identified zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2) to be up-regulated in a GH dose- and time-dependent manner.
6101 20682777 Whereas GH increased podocyte permeability to albumin in a paracellular albumin influx assay, shRNA-mediated knockdown of ZEB2 expression abrogated this effect.
6102 20686445 CCR2 antagonism improves insulin resistance, lipid metabolism, and diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetic mice.
6103 20686445 Chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) binds to its receptor C-C chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2), initiating tissue inflammation, and recent studies have suggested a beneficial effect of a blockade of this pathway in diabetic nephropathy.
6104 20686445 To investigate the mechanism of protection, we studied the effect of RS504393, a CCR2 antagonist, on insulin resistance and diabetic nephropathy in db/db mice.
6105 20686445 In addition, treatment with the CCR2 antagonist markedly decreased urinary albumin excretion, mesangial expansion, and suppressed profibrotic and proinflammatory cytokine synthesis.
6106 20686445 Hence, our findings suggest that CCR2 antagonists can improve insulin resistance by modulation of the adipose tissue and restore renal function through both metabolic and anti-fibrotic effects in type 2 diabetic mice.
6107 20724796 Currently, among these glycated proteins, glycated hemoglobin (HbA(1C)) is used as the gold standard index of glycemic control in clinical practice for diabetes treatment.
6108 20724796 Although GA is not influenced by disorders of hemoglobin metabolism, it is affected by disorders of albumin metabolism.
6109 20734449 Comparison of C-reactive protein and albumin excretion as prognostic markers for 10-year mortality after myocardial infarction.

6115 20818804 Glycated albumin, a precursor of advanced glycation end-products, up-regulates NADPH oxidase and enhances oxidative stress in human endothelial cells: molecular correlate of diabetic vasculopathy.
6116 20844835 The reduced expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2 in the kidneys of animal models and patients with diabetes suggests ACE2 involvement in diabetic nephrology.
6117 20844835 To explore the renoprotective effects of ACE2 overexpression, ACE inhibition (ACEI) or both on diabetic nephropathy and the potential mechanisms involved, 50 Wistar rats were randomly divided into a normal group that received an injection of sodium citrate buffer and a diabetic model group that received an injection of 60 mg/kg streptozotocin.
6118 20844835 An experiment in cultured glomerular mesangial cells was performed to examine the effects of ACE2 on cellular proliferation, oxidative stress and collagen IV synthesis.
6119 20844835 In comparison with the Ad-GFP group, the Ad-ACE2 group exhibited reduced systolic blood pressure, urinary albumin excretion, creatinine clearance, glomeruli sclerosis index and renal malondialdehyde level; downregulated transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and collagen IV protein expression; and increased renal superoxide dismutase activity.
6120 20844835 ACE2 transfection attenuated angiotensin (Ang) II-induced glomerular mesangial cell proliferation, oxidative stress and collagen IV protein synthesis.
6121 20845058 Gingival crevicular fluid IL-6, tPA, PAI-2, albumin levels following initial periodontal treatment in chronic periodontitis patients with or without type 2 diabetes.
6122 20875901 For this purpose, the levels of plasma glutathione peroxidase (GPx), selenoprotein P (SelP), and seleno-albumin (SeAlb) present in 40 patients affected by type 2 diabetes mellitus were determined simultaneously and accurately by a newly developed analytical method.
6123 20875901 Significant negative correlations were revealed among GPx, SeAlb, and clinical parameters including fasting plasma glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and the albumin-to-creatinine ratio.
6124 20875901 For this purpose, the levels of plasma glutathione peroxidase (GPx), selenoprotein P (SelP), and seleno-albumin (SeAlb) present in 40 patients affected by type 2 diabetes mellitus were determined simultaneously and accurately by a newly developed analytical method.
6125 20875901 Significant negative correlations were revealed among GPx, SeAlb, and clinical parameters including fasting plasma glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and the albumin-to-creatinine ratio.
6126 20920036 Clinical factors identified included baseline glycated hemoglobin A1c or fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels, insulin response or sensitivity, C-peptide, body composition, adipose tissue proteins, lipid profile, plasma albumin levels and duration of disease or insulin treatment.
6127 20927036 Similarly, remote dwellers with diabetes were significantly less likely to have hemoglobin A1c evaluated within 1 year of the index eGFR measurement, to have urinary albumin assessed biannually, or to receive an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor or receptor blocker in the setting of diabetes or proteinuria.
6128 20963454 DCP includes albumin, haemoglobin, transcription factors, mitochondrial proteins, extracellular matrix proteins, lens crystallins and other proteins.
6129 21083700 At baseline, there was a positive correlation between serum osteocalcin levels and fasting C-peptide levels (P = 0.004) and homeostatic model assessment of β-cell function (P = 0.048), but a negative correlation between serum osteocalcin levels and fasting plasma glucose (P = 0.023), HbA1c (P = 0.020), glycated albumin (P = 0.019) and 24 h mean blood glucose (P < 0.001).
6130 21086190 After 16 weeks, the general conditions, blood gloucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, serum type IV collagen, urinary albumin excretion rate, and creatinine clearance rate were detected, type IV collagen protein was determined by immunohistochemical analysis as well as the expression of collagen type IVα1 mRNA were determined by in situ hybridization analysis in the kidneys of each group.
6131 21112314 In diabetes, the glycation process occurs as a result of d-glucose nonenzymatically reacting with proteins such as albumin and hemoglobin, used today as important tools to monitor the efficiency of dietary control and therapy during treatment of diabetes.
6132 21113841 Urinary levels of IL-8, IP-10, MCP-1, G-CSF, EOTAXIN, RANTES, and TNF-α in microalbuminuric patients were significantly increased compared to those in normoalbuminuric patients (p < 0.05) or controls (p < 0.05).
6133 21113841 IP-10 and MCP-1 levels were correlated with urinary albumin excretion rate (r = 0.668 and 0.544, both p < 0.01), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (r = -0.454 and -0.418, both p < 0.05).
6134 21113841 EOTAXIN, GM-CSF, IP-10, MCP-1, and RANTES levels were correlated with HbA1c (r = 0.457, 0.466, 0.678, 0.567, 0.542, respectively, p ≤ 0.01).
6135 21115116 Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) inhibits proximal tubular cell injury in early diabetic nephropathy by suppressing advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-receptor (RAGE) axis.
6136 21115116 Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a multifunctional glycoprotein with anti-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory properties, and it could block the development and progression of experimental diabetic retinopathy.
6137 21115116 Human proximal tubular cells were incubated with or without AGE-bovine serum albumin in the presence or absence of PEDF.
6138 21115116 PEDF or antibodies raised against RAGE inhibited the AGE-induced RAGE gene expression and subsequently reduced ROS generation, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), fibronectin and type IV collagen mRNA levels in proximal tubular cells.
6139 21115116 RAGE gene expression, ROS generation and MCP-1 and TGF-β mRNA levels were significantly increased in diabetic kidney, which were suppressed by administration of PEDF.
6140 21130593 In the urine samples, the levels of transthyretin, AMBP, haptoglobin precursor were found to decrease while albumin, zinc α 2 glycoprotein, RBP4 and E cadherin were found to increase in the diabetic patients as compared to the controls.
6141 21150933 After adjustment by age, there were significant correlations between office PP and presence of hypertension (r=0.24; P<0.001), presence of cardiac and vascular disorders (r=0.17; P<0.001), metabolic syndrome (r=0.10; P<0.001), duration of diabetes (r=0.09; P<0.001), fasting blood glucose (r=0.08; P<0.001), albumin/creatinine ratio (r=0.07; P<0.001), insulin treatment, glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), male gender and current smoking.
6142 21206679 These exercises had no influence on weight, Kt/V values, serum urea, albumin, hemoglobin, and lipid levels (P>0.05).
6143 21234863 The aims of this study were first to detect the levels of adiponectin, insulin, albumin, glucose, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lipids, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and anthropometric variables in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as well as healthy control groups, and to determine whether two adiponectin gene polymorphisms, at the position -11377C > G as well as +45T > G, are associated with serum levels of adiponectin and other variables; then to search for the association between these two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the adiponectin gene and T2DM.
6144 21257003 Our purpose was to compare the effects of maximum doses of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin on the plasma levels of the insulin, glycated albumin, adiponectin, and C-reactive protein compared to baseline in hyperlipidemic patients.
6145 21257003 In conclusion, our data have indicated that the maximum dosage of atorvastatin or rosuvastatin therapy significantly lower C-reactive protein levels but also moderately increase insulin levels.
6146 21286018 Creatinine, urinary albumin levels, serum/urine cystatin C and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR by MDRD [Modification of Diet in Renal Disease] and CKD-EPI [Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration] equations) were determined.
6147 21286018 In multiple regression analysis, serum cystatin C was affected by C-reactive protein (CRP), sex, albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) and eGFR.
6148 21286018 Urine cystatin C was affected by triglyceride, age, eGFR and ACR.
6149 21286018 Creatinine, urinary albumin levels, serum/urine cystatin C and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR by MDRD [Modification of Diet in Renal Disease] and CKD-EPI [Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration] equations) were determined.
6150 21286018 In multiple regression analysis, serum cystatin C was affected by C-reactive protein (CRP), sex, albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) and eGFR.
6151 21286018 Urine cystatin C was affected by triglyceride, age, eGFR and ACR.
6152 21289599 Urinary albumin excretion increased in vehicle-treated diabetic rats (single injection of streptozotocin), compared with controls, and was associated with tubule injury and increased urinary tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) at 9 weeks.
6153 21289599 Further, both agonists restored WT-1 staining along with podocin and nephrin mRNA expression, suggesting podocyte protection.
6154 21300041 Urinary albumin excretion, glomerular hypertrophy and expressions of fibronectin, collagen IV, and TGF-β in the glomeruli were alleviated in RSV-treated DM rats, but not in untreated DM rats.
6155 21300041 Moreover, RSV inhibited phosphorylation of smad2, smad3 and ERK1/2 in diabetic rat kidneys.
6156 21327982 This study was to investigate the role of moesin and its underlying signal transduction in retinal vascular hyper-permeability induced by AGE-modified mouse serum albumin (AGE-MSA).
6157 21327982 Further studies were performed to explore the effects of Rho kinase (ROCK) and p38 MAPK pathway on the involvement of moesin in AGE-induced retinal vascular hyper-permeability response.
6158 21327982 The phosphorylation of moesin was attenuated by inhibitions of ROCK and p38 MAPK, while this treatment also prevented the dysfunction of inner blood-retinal barrier and the reorganization of F-actin in retinal vascular endothelial cells.
6159 21327982 These results demonstrate that moesin is involved in AGE-induced retinal vascular endothelial dysfunction and the phosphorylation of moesin is triggered via ROCK and p38 MAPK activation.
6160 21367916 ANG-(1-7) is associated with vasodilation and nitric oxide synthase stimulation.
6161 21367916 The ANG II+ANG-(1-7) coinfusion group showed a lower urinary albumin/creatinine ratio increase than the ANG II group.
6162 21367916 These findings were related to improved mesangial expansion and to fibronectin and transforming growth factor-β1 production in response to ANG II and suggest that ANG-(1-7) may attenuate ANG II-stimulated ROS-mediated injury in type 2 diabetic nephropathy.
6163 21411858 They also display predictable age-related differences in lean mass, calf circumference, circulating albumin, hemoglobin, and hematocrit.
6164 21429972 Most low-molecular-weight proteins filtered by the glomerulus are removed in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) by megalin/cubilin-dependent receptor-mediated endocytosis.
6165 21429972 Expression of megalin and cubilin was unchanged in Limp-2(-/-) mice, however, and the initial uptake of injected Alexa Fluor 555-conjugated bovine serum albumin (Alexa-BSA) was similar to wild-type mice, indicating that megalin/cubilin-dependent, receptor-mediated endocytosis was unaffected.
6166 21437089 This is achieved by protracted absorption from the injection depot, which results in part from increased self-association of insulin detemir molecules and in part from reversible albumin binding.
6167 21461610 In the present study, we investigated the effect of AGE-bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA) on heparanase expression in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs) and the underlying molecular mechanisms.
6168 21461610 Moreover, pretreatment with inhibitors of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) or PI3-kinase did not affect heparanase expression induced by AGE-BSA.
6169 21472664 The clinical parameters, serum lipids, fasting (FPG) and postprandial plasma glucose(PPG), HOMA-IR, hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c), hs-CRP and urinary albumin were measured before/after 24-week administration.
6170 21472666 RAGE-dependent regulation of calcium-binding proteins S100A8 and S100A9 in human THP-1.
6171 21472666 Since S100A8/A9 was recently identified as ligand of RAGE, we determined the effects of proinflammatory cytokines on RAGE-mediated induction of gene expression of S100A8 and S100A9. mRNA levels of S100A8 and S100A9 were upregulated following cytokine stimulation with IL-6 (1, 10, 100 ng/ml) or TNFα (10 ng/ml) in human THP-1 cells.
6172 21472666 Pretreatment of THP-1 with AGE followed by stimulation with IL-6 (10 ng/ml) or TNFα (10 ng/ml) further increased S100A8 and S100A9 mRNA expression and S100A8/A9 release into cell culture supernatant, as compared to pretreatment with non-glycated albumin as control.
6173 21472666 Cytokine-stimulated induction of S100A8 and S100A9 mRNA levels as well as of S100A8/A9 release after preincubation of cells with AGE were significantly suppressed by RAGE blockade, indicating a RAGE-dependent pathway of AGE-mediated S100A8/A9 expression.The cytokine-induced potentiated S100A8 and S100A9 expression under conditions with a high AGE burden is able to aggravate proinflammatory conditions via activation of the RAGE pathway.
6174 21483580 Inflammatory markers, such as high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), ferritin, transferrin, albumin, alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AAG), alpha-2 macroglobulin (AMG), alpha-1 anti-trypsin (AAT) and lipoprotein a [Lp(a)] were measured in coronary artery disease patients (CAD) and CAD patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
6175 21512229 We constructed in this study a chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) for measuring leptin by using the anti-leptin polyclonal antibody and alkaline phosphatase (ALP).
6176 21512229 The method applies the IgG-conjugated ferrite particle to capture leptin in a sample and the ALP-conjugated Fab fragment to detect the captured leptin.
6177 21512229 We tested Block ace, CE510, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) for their abilities to block non-specific binding of ALP-conjugated anti-leptin Fab to the ferrite particle and found BSA to be the most effective.
6178 21530773 MALDI-TOF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight) analysis of the desalted and concentrated chromatographic fractions confirmed albumin as the main protein bound to tungstate in rat serum, while no binding to transferrin (Tf) was detected.

6194 21629229 Protein-energy wasting (PEW), which is manifested by low serum levels of albumin or prealbumin, sarcopenia and weight loss, is one of the strongest predictors of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
6195 21653631 Anastrozole treatment also attenuated urine albumin excretion by 42%, glomerulosclerosis by 30%, tubulointerstitial fibrosis by 32%, along with a decrease in the density of renal cortical CD68-positive cells by 50%, and protein expression of transforming growth factor-β by 20%, collagen type IV by 29%, tumor necrosis factor-α by 28%, and interleukin-6 by 25%.
6196 21654755 The present study aimed to determine whether either of two calcium channel blockers affected urinary albumin excretion or urinary levels of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) in hypertensive diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who were already being treated with maximum doses of the angiotensin II receptor blocker olmesartan.
6197 21654755 Serum creatinine levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate did not differ significantly between the two groups, whereas the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio and 8-OHdG and L-FABP levels decreased significantly in the azelnidipine group compared with the amlodipine group.
6198 21654755 The present study aimed to determine whether either of two calcium channel blockers affected urinary albumin excretion or urinary levels of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) in hypertensive diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who were already being treated with maximum doses of the angiotensin II receptor blocker olmesartan.

6200 21659752 Risk factors affecting progression of kidney disease include baseline albumin excretion, age, glycemic control, blood pressure, serum cholesterol and use of renin-angiotensin system blockers.
6201 21659765 Glycated albumin, but not the equivalent dose of bovine serum albumin (BSA), stimulates tubular IL-8 and ICAM-1 expression via NF-κB-, MAPK- and STAT-1-dependent pathways.
6202 21659765 The biologically active carbonyl intermediates methylglyoxal-BSA-AGE and AGE-BSA upregulate tubular expression of CTGF, TGF-β, and VEGF, whereas carboxymethyllysine-BSA stimulates tubular expression of IL-6, CCL-2, CTGF, TGF-β, and VEGF via RAGE activation and NF-κB signal transduction.
6203 21659765 Hyperglycemia (30 mM), but not the equivalent dose of mannitol, promotes proinflammatory (IL-6 and CCL-2), profibrotic (TGF-β) and angiogenic (VEGF) responses in tubular cells via MAPK and PKC signaling and induces epithelial mesenchymal transition, which is TGF-β1 mediated.
6204 21659765 In human DN biopsies and PTEC, TLR4is upregulated and plays a permissive role in HG-induced IL-6 and CCL-2 overexpression and monocyte transmigration.
6205 21659765 Other novel mediators that become activated in PTEC exposed to HG include macrophage inflammatory protein-3-α, Krüppel-like factor 6 and thioredoxin-interacting protein, which may be attenuated by peroxisome proliferator-activate dreceptor-γ activation.
6206 21670545 Although there was no significant change in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), serum cystatin C levels and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio were significantly decreased.
6207 21688017 Values of urinary retinol, unlike urinary RBP, albumin and total protein, did not overlap between patients and controls.
6208 21725160 This review focuses these products in lysine rich proteins such as collagen and human serum albumin for their role in aging and age-related diseases.
6209 21779943 Tubular markers, such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), N-acetyl-β-D: -glucosaminidase (NAG), and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1), as well as urinary albumin excretion were measured in voided urine.
6210 21779943 Compared with the control group, Urinary NGAL [median (IQR)][83.6(41.4-138.7) μg/gcr vs. 32.9(26.1-64.5) μg/gcr], NAG [13.5(8.7-17.9) U/gcr vs. 7.6(6.5-13.0) U/gcr] and KIM-1 [120.0(98.4-139.9) ng/gcr vs. 103.1(86.8-106.2) ng/gcr] in the T2DM were all markedly increased.
6211 21801975 The major guideline changes this year are: (1) a recommendation was made for using comparative risk analogies when communicating a patient's cardiovascular risk; (2) diagnostic testing issues for renal artery stenosis were discussed; (3) recommendations were added for the management of hypertension during the acute phase of stroke; (4) people with hypertension and diabetes are now considered high risk for cardiovascular events if they have elevated urinary albumin excretion, overt kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, or the presence of other cardiovascular risk factors; (5) the combination of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB) is preferred over the combination of an ACE inhibitor and a thiazide diuretic in persons with diabetes and hypertension; and (6) a recommendation was made to coordinate with pharmacists to improve antihypertensive medication adherence.
6212 21807121 The development of diabetes was associated with significant increases in total protein, albumin, nephrin and collagen excretions compared to their controls.
6213 21807121 In addition, the diabetic mice displayed increased urinary MCP-1 excretion in association with increased renal ICAM-1 expression and apoptotic cells.
6214 21823043 Pioglitazone reduces urinary albumin excretion in renin-angiotensin system inhibitor-treated type 2 diabetic patients with hypertension and microalbuminuria: the APRIME study.
6215 21832985 Baseline serum 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)(2)D showed no significant correlation with baseline urinary MCP-1, TGF-β1, or albuminuria measured as the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio.
6216 21849972 The primary exposure was any abnormal hemoglobin variant and the primary outcome of higher-dose ESA was defined as a dose of 6500 or more units per treatment.
6217 21849972 Covariates included age, gender, diabetes, iron parameters, intravenous iron dose, parathyroid hormone, albumin, phosphorus, body mass index, vascular access type, hospitalization/missed treatments, smoking status, alcohol abuse, and gastrointestinal bleeding.
6218 21858169 Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulate in patients with diabetes and promote the apoptosis of podocyte by activating the forkhead box O4 (Foxo4) transcription factor to increase the expression of a pro-apoptosis gene, Bcl2l11.
6219 21858169 Using chromatin immunoprecipitation we demonstrate that AGE-modified bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA) enhances Foxo4 binding to a forkhead binding element in the promoter of Bcl2lll.
6220 21858169 Lysine acetylation of Foxo4 is required for Foxo4 binding and transcription of Bcl2l11 in podocytes treated with AGE-BSA.
6221 21858169 The expression of a protein deacetylase that targets Foxo4 for deacetylation, sirtuin (Sirt1), is down regulated in cultured podocytes by AGE-BSA treatment and in glomeruli of diabetic patients.
6222 21858169 Glomeruli isolated from diabetic db/db mice have increased acetylation of Foxo4, suppressed expression of Sirt1, and increased expression of Bcl2l11 compared to non-diabetic littermates.
6223 21858169 Together, our data provide evidence that alteration of Foxo4 acetylation and down regulation of Sirt1 expression in diabetes promote podocyte apoptosis.
6224 21858169 Strategies to preserve Sirt1 expression or reduce Foxo4 acetylation could be used to prevent podocyte loss in diabetes.
6225 21860793 Urinary AGT level was positively correlated with diastolic blood pressure, urinary albumin, urinary protein levels, and urinary occult blood in chronic GN patients.
6226 21860793 Furthermore, urinary AGT level was significantly increased in chronic GN patients not treated with renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers compared with control subjects.
6227 21869881 We overexpressed NIK wild type (NIKwt) or kinase-dead dominant negative mutants (NIKdn) in HK-2 cells and demonstrated that RelB and p52, but not RelA, abundance and DNA binding increased in nuclei of NIKwt but not NIKdn overexpressed cells, and this corresponded with increases in multiple proinflammatory cytokines.
6228 21869881 Since TRAF3 negatively regulates NIK expression, we silenced TRAF3 by >50%; this increased nuclear levels of p52 and RelB, and transcript levels of proinflammatory cytokines and transcription factors.
6229 21869881 In HK-2 cells and mouse primary proximal tubule epithelial cells treated with methylglyoxal-modified albumin, multiple proinflammatory cytokines and NIK were increased in association with increased nuclear RelB and p52.

6231 21880831 Bone marrow-derived monocytes from CCR2(+/+) or CCR2(-/-) mice adoptively transferred into CCR2(-/-) mice reversed the renal tissue-protective effect in diabetic CCR2(-/-) mice as evaluated by increased urinary albumin excretion and kidney macrophage recruitment, indicating that CCR2 is not required for monocyte migration from the circulation into diabetic kidneys.
6232 21921362 Then doses were titrated by dose-doubling to a maximum of 100 mg/day if hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) or glycated albumin (GA) target levels had not been reached.
6233 21945876 C-reactive protein is directly associated with urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio.
6234 21993769 Low plasma adiponectin levels predict increased urinary albumin/creatinine ratio in type 2 diabetes patients.
6235 22021717 Mortality was significantly lower for African Americans versus Caucasians (34% versus 56% at 5 years); the relative hazard was 0.7 (95% CI, 0.5 to 0.9) after adjusting for age, gender, dialysis modality, smoking, body mass index, diabetes, BP, cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, congestive heart failure, comorbid disease, hemoglobin, albumin, CRP, and IL-6.
6236 22056825 A total of 167 patients with T2DM (101 men, 66 women; mean age, 61.1 years; glycated hemoglobin, 9.2%) were divided into 2 groups on the basis of their urinary albumin levels: 1 group without UP (urinary albumin level < 30 mg/day) and 1 group with UP (urinary albumin level ≥ 30 mg/day).
6237 22075749 We studied normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic (DM) Sprague-Dawley rats treated for 6 weeks with vehicle, ALISK, HCTZ, or AMLO individually and combined and evaluated the effects of treatments on BP, urine albumin to creatinine ratio, renal interstitial fluid levels of angiotensin II, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) and renal expression of TNF-α, IL-6, transforming growth factor beta 1, and nuclear factor kappa B.
6238 22075749 Renal interstitial fluid TNF-α and IL-6, and the renal expression of TNF-α, IL-6, transforming growth factor beta 1, and nuclear factor kappa B were increased in DM rats.
6239 22087029 All rats were monitored up to 35 weeks of age with respect to their blood glucose, HbA1c and insulin levels, their kidney function (urinary glucose excretion, renal glucose filtration, glomerular filtration rate, albumin/creatinine ratio), and their nerve function (tactile and thermal sensory threshold and nerve conduction velocity).
6240 22089767 In this study population, there was no significant difference in the H. pylori IgG antibody titers, serum iPTH, Mg, calcium, alkaline phosphatase and albumin levels as well as body mass index (BMI) between males and females or diabetics and non-diabetics.
6241 22089767 There was no significant relationship between serum H. pylori IgG antibody titers and the age of the patients, BMI, serum Alb, phosphorus, Ca, serum leptin and serum ALP.
6242 22095488 Clinical parameters (proteinuria, albumin/creatinine ratio), pathological changes, ultra-microstructural changes in nephrons, expression of collagen IV and phosph-p38, ROS production, mitochondrial function, and apoptosis were evaluated and compared with diabetic rats expressing control levels of Mfn2.
6243 22095488 Compared to the blank transfection control group, overexpression of Mfn2 decreased kidney weight relative to body weight, reduced proteinuria and ACR, and improved pathological changes typical of the diabetic kidney, like enlargement of glomeruli, accumulation of ECM, and thickening of the basement membrane.
6244 22095488 In addition, Mfn2 overexpression inhibited activation of p38, and the accumulation of ROS; prevented mitochondrial dysfunction; and reduced the synthesis of collagen IV, but did not affect apoptosis of kidney cells.
6245 22116744 HMF treatment significantly lowered blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, triglycerides, total cholesterol, serum albumin level, total urine volume, urinary albumin excretion rate, urinary albumin to creatinine ratio and relative kidney weight, and increased urinary creatinine and GFR.
6246 22128263 Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α, and glycated albumin (AGE-BSA) were identified as inducers of RCAN1.4 in mesangial cells.
6247 22140039 We found that the 24-h mRNA rhythms of the following genes were suppressed in db/db mice compared with control mice: the clock genes period homolog 1/2 (Per1/2) and cryptochrome 1/2 (Cry1/2) and their target genes D site albumin promoter-binding protein (Dbp) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (Pparg) in the aorta and mesenteric arteries; Dbp in the heart; Per1, nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group D, member 1 (Rev-erba), and Dbp in the kidney; and Per1 in the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
6248 22140039 Moreover, the 24-h mRNA rhythms of the contraction-related proteins Rho kinase 1/2, PKC-potentiated phosphatase inhibitory protein of 17 kDa, calponin-3, tropomyosin-1/2, and smooth muscle protein 22-α were suppressed in db/db mice compared with control mice.

6277 22185986 Circulating ApoE level is independently associated with urinary albumin excretion in type 2 diabetic patients.
6278 22198859 The latter complication has been consistently associated with inherited (i.e., the prothrombin 20210 polymorphism, and polymorphisms in the genes encoding for transforming growth factor-β1, nitric oxide synthase, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, angiotensin converting enzyme, and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase), and acquired thrombotic risk factors (i.e., diabetes, obesity, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, hyperhomocysteinemia, hyperlipoproteinemia(a), low serum albumin, antiphospholipid antibodies, autoantibodies against protein C and S, erythropoietin administration, malnutrition, and cytomegalovirus infection).

6283 22271340 Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist: a new therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus.
6284 22271340 Currently, many anti-inflammatory therapeutic modalities are being investigated to abate the infuriating effects of inducers of T2DM and among them, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) is the only one that has been approved by US Food and Drug Administration.
6285 22271340 To overcome the problem of short half-life of IL-1Ra, recently, we fused IL-1Ra in recombinant human serum albumin and expressed it in Pichia pastoris.
6286 22271422 We investigated the role of aminoguanidine and benfotiamine on the inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in macrophages induced by advanced glycated albumin (AGE-albumin) and its relationship with cell cholesterol homeostasis, emphasizing the expression of the ATP binding cassette transporter A-1 (ABCA-1).
6287 22271422 ROS production and ABCA-1 protein level were determined by flow cytometry in J774 macrophages treated along time with control (C) or AGE-albumin alone or in the presence of aminoguanidine or benfotiamine.
6288 22271422 Compared to C-albumin, AGE-albumin increased ROS production in macrophages, which was ascribed to the activities of NADPH oxidase and of the mitochondrial system.
6289 22271422 Inhibition of oxidative stress induced by AGE-albumin prevents disturbances in reverse cholesterol transport by curbing the reduction of ABCA-1 elicited by advanced glycation in macrophages and therefore may contribute to the prevention of atherosclerosis in diabetes mellitus.

6411 23019230 We generated p66-null Akita mice to test whether inactivating mutations at the p66 locus will rescue kidneys of Akita mice from disease-causing mutations at the Ins2 and B2R loci.
6412 23019230 Here we show null mutations at the p66 and B2R loci interact with the Akita (Ins2(+/C96Y)) mutation, independently and in combination, inducing divergent phenotypes in the kidney.

6422 23077975 Patients with false, relative to those with true, isolated-office RH had higher prevalence of microalbuminuria and chronic kidney disease (CKD), significantly higher albumin/creatinine ratio (p < .001), significantly higher 48-h SBP/DBP means by 9.6/5.3 mm Hg (p < .001), significantly lower sleep-time relative SBP and DBP decline (p < .001), and significantly greater prevalence of a non-dipper BP profile (96.9% vs. 38.9%; p < .001).
6423 23085980 Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (sCr), and urinary biomarkers; albumin, lipocalin 2 (Lcn-2), osteopontin (Opn), kidney injury molecule 1 (Kim-1), renal papillary antigen 1 (Rpa-1), α-glutathione S-transferase (α-Gst), µ-glutathione S-transferase (µ-Gst), and beta-2 microglobulin (β2m) were measured in disease models and appropriate controls to determine the response of these biomarkers to CM administration.
6424 23085980 When 1.5-fold or greater sCr increases from pre-CM were used to define true positives, receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis of biomarker performance showed sCr was the best predictor of CIN across disease models. β2m, Lcn-2, and BUN were the best predictors of histopathology defined kidney injury.
6425 23093701 These include pyruvate kinase M1/M2, apolipoprotein A-I, albumin, peroxiredoxin 2, annexin A2, α-1-B-glycoprotein, flotillin-1 and haptoglobin.
6426 23105632 Albumin and enzymes-N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG) and gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) were estimated in the morning random urine samples of 196 albustix negative diabetic patients to evaluate the clinical utility of these urinary enzymes as early markers of diabetic nephropathy.
6427 23105632 The study suggests that urinary NAG or GGT or both together do not have any clinical significance as an early marker of diabetic nephropathy.
6428 23137953 Association between urinary albumin excretion and both central and peripheral blood pressure in subjects with insulin resistance.
6429 23147746 Glycated albumin, not hemoglobin A1c, predicts cardiovascular hospitalization and length of stay in diabetic patients on dialysis.
6430 23147865 RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the mRNA and protein levels of nephrin, podocin and heparanase (HPSE) in the kidney cortex of rats, respectively.
6431 23147865 Treatment with arctiin significantly decreased the levels of 24-h urinary albumin, prevented the sclerosis of glomeruli and effectively restored the glomerular filtration barrier damage by up-regulating the expression of nephrin and podocin and down-regulating HPSE level.
6432 23147865 The effects of arctiin on attenuating albuminuria and glomerulosclerosis are possibly mediated by regulating the expression of nephrin and podocin and HPSE in STZ-induced diabetic rats.
6433 23159951 This study examined the effects of GLP-1 on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, gene expression of protein arginine methyltransfetase-1 (PRMT-1), an enzyme that mainly generates ADMA, and ADMA levels in human proximal tubular cells.
6434 23159951 GLP-1 inhibited the AGE-induced RAGE and PRMT-1 gene expression, ROS, and ADMA generation in tubular cells, which were blocked by small-interfering RNAs raised against GLP-1 receptor.
6435 23159951 Exendin-4 treatment decreased gene expression of Rage, Prmt-1, Icam-1, and Mcp-1 and ADMA level; reduced urinary excretions of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine and albumin; and improved histopathologic changes of the kidney in diabetic rats.
6436 23159951 Our present study suggests that GLP-1 receptor agonist may inhibit the AGE-RAGE-mediated ADMA generation by suppressing PRMT-1 expression via inhibition of ROS generation, thereby protecting against the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy.
6437 23197667 Despite remarkable progress in clinical trials, most applications still use traditional culture media containing fetal bovine serum or serum-free media that contain serum albumin, insulin, and transferrin.
6438 23212539 The strength of the association slightly decreased after further adjustment for apolipoprotein B, smoking, and albumin excretion rate.
6439 23258828 All participants' blood samples were obtained to check for total testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and albumin levels, and free testosterone (cFT) was calculated.
6440 23416120 Administration of T2 was found to prevent significant decrease in SIRT1 protein expression and activity as well as increases in blood glucose, urine albumin excretion, matrix expansion, transforming growth factor-β1 expression, fibronectin and type IV collagen deposition in the diabetic kidney.
6441 23437351 Cox's multivariate analysis identified patient age, presence of diabetes, albumin ≤37 g/l, and alpha-fetoprotein >400 µg/l as significant preoperative predictors of survival, while the chance to undergo liver transplantation and postoperative ascites were the only independent postoperative predictor of survival.
6442 23447412 Additively 2d significantly protected the liver-kidney functions and modulated lipid metabolism, which were evidenced by the decrease in aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) activities and creatinine, urea albumin, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides levels as well as an increase in the HDL-cholesterol level in surviving diabetic rats.
6443 23456742 Because ErB exhibits metachromasy, that is, color change upon binding to several proteins, we exploited this property to quantify its binding to proteins such as bovine serum albumin (BSA) and CD40L (CD154) and to determine the corresponding binding constants (Kd ) and stoichiometry (nb ) using spectrophotometric methods.
6444 23458176 Association between osteoprotegerin, fetuin-A, carotid intima media thickness, and urinary albumin excretion in Type 2 diabetes.
6445 23469230 Glycosylated hemoglobin and albumin-corrected fructosamine are good indicators for glycemic control in peritoneal dialysis patients.
6446 23485645 The use of a panel with a combination of biomarkers instead of urinary albumin alone seems to be an interesting approach for early detection of DN, including markers of glomerular damage (e.g., albumin), tubular damage (e.g., NAG and KIM-1), inflammation (e.g., TNF-α) and oxidative stress (e.g., 8-OHdG) because these mechanisms contribute to the development and outcomes of this disease.
6447 23515495 Transforming growth factor beta 1 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 as prognostic markers of diabetic nephropathy.
6448 23515495 We aimed to find the relationship between serum transforming growth factor beta 1(TGF-β(1)) and urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) throughout the course of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and to assess the relationship between both levels and other parameters of renal injury such as albumin/creatinine ratio and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
6449 23515495 Serum TGF-β(1), urinary MCP-1, eGFR, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were measured in 60 patients with type II diabetes mellitus with different degrees of nephropathy (20 patients with normoalbuminuria, 20 patients with microalbuminuria, and 20 patients with macroalbuminuria) and compared with 20 matched healthy control subjects.
6450 23515495 Also, serum TGF-β(1) and urinary MCP-1 correlated positively with HbA1c (r = 0.49 and 0.55, respectively, p < 0.05 for both) and inversely with eGFR (r = -0.69 and -0.60, respectively, p < 0.001 for both).
6451 23521574 Patients with nephropathy (39.6%) presented higher MPO levels that correlate positively with the albumin/creatinine ratio (r = 0.59, p<0.05).
6452 23522873 Influence of insulin sensitivity and secretion on glycated albumin and hemoglobin A1c in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus.
6453 23536133 Initial verification of seven markers (agrin, haptoglobin, mannan-binding lectin serine protease 2, LAMP-2, angiotensinogen, NGAL, and uromodulin) in the urine of an additional 30 patients showed that haptoglobin was the best predictor of early renal functional decline.
6454 23536133 In comparing the highest to lowest tertiles, the odds ratio for having early renal function decline was 2.70 (CI: 1.15, 6.32) using the haptoglobin to creatinine ratio compared with 2.50 (CI 1.14, 5.48) using the albumin to creatinine ratio after adjusting for treatment group and use of ACE inhibitors.
6455 23536133 Addition of the haptoglobin to creatinine ratio to a model using the albumin to creatinine ratio to predict early renal function decline resulted in improved predictive performance.
6456 23536133 Initial verification of seven markers (agrin, haptoglobin, mannan-binding lectin serine protease 2, LAMP-2, angiotensinogen, NGAL, and uromodulin) in the urine of an additional 30 patients showed that haptoglobin was the best predictor of early renal functional decline.

6458 23536133 Addition of the haptoglobin to creatinine ratio to a model using the albumin to creatinine ratio to predict early renal function decline resulted in improved predictive performance.
6459 23537302 Adiponectin (Adn) is a protein that circulates in the blood in several oligomeric forms, namely low-, medium-, and high-molecular-weight forms.
6460 23537302 Complexes between Adn and complement component C1q and between the low molecular weight form of Adn and albumin were described in human blood.
6461 23537302 A decrease in the total Adn and Adn-albumin complex levels in the blood of patients with T2DM and no difference in the levels of the Adn-C1q complex in comparison with healthy volunteers were demonstrated.

6465 23538348 Glycated albumin versus glycated hemoglobin as glycemic indicator in hemodialysis patients with diabetes mellitus: variables that influence.
6466 23547409 Duration of diabetes, urinary albumin excretion rate, hypertension and glycated hemoglobin had positive correlation with CIMT, but could not assume statistical significance.
6467 23548123 The urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), and endothelin 1 (ET-1), and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels were determined with a radioimmunoassay, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was detected using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
6468 23548123 Secondary endpoints were change from baseline to post-treatment in FBG, TC, TG, UAER, SCr, Ccr, VI-C, ANP, ET-1, and VEGF.
6469 23548123 ZSTL was significantly more effective at improving the primary (i.e., HbA1c) and secondary (i.e., FBG, TC, TG, UAER, SCr, ANP, ET-1, and VEGF) outcomes than benazepril (p < 0.05).
6470 23548123 These findings suggest that ZSTL is superior to benazepril at improving the metabolic and renal functioning in patients with early-stage DN, in part, by modifying ANP, ET-1, and VEGF.
6471 23554718 Results show that the combination of pioglitazone with glimepiride is more effective in amelioration of diabetic nephropathy than rosiglitazone with glimepiride drug therapy due to glycemic control, suppressing albumin excretion rate, total protein excretion rate and augmented TNF-a signaling during the development of streptozotocin induced type 2 diabetic nephropathy.
6472 23557706 High glucose (HG) induces apoptosis of podocytes, inhibits AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation, inactivates tuberin, and activates mTOR.
6473 23557706 HG also increases the levels of Nox4 and Nox1 and NADPH oxidase activity.
6474 23557706 Inhibition of mTOR by low-dose rapamycin decreases HG-induced Nox4 and Nox1, NADPH oxidase activity, and podocyte apoptosis.
6475 23557706 Inhibition of mTOR had no effect on AMPK or tuberin phosphorylation, indicating that mTOR is downstream of these signaling molecules.
6476 23557706 In isolated glomeruli of OVE26 mice, there is a similar decrease in the activation of AMPK and tuberin and activation of mTOR with increase in Nox4 and NADPH oxidase activity.
6477 23557706 Our data provide evidence for a novel function of mTOR in Nox4-derived reactive oxygen species generation and podocyte apoptosis that contributes to urinary albumin excretion in type 1 diabetes.
6478 23564918 N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide is a stronger predictor of cardiovascular mortality than C-reactive protein and albumin excretion rate in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes: the Casale Monferrato population-based study.
6479 23567972 Clock-controlled output gene Dbp is a regulator of Arnt/Hif-1β gene expression in pancreatic islet β-cells.
6480 23567972 Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT)/hypoxia inducible factor-1β (HIF-1β) has emerged as a potential determinant of pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and type 2 diabetes in humans.
6481 23567972 Meanwhile, disruption of the clock components CLOCK and BMAL1 is known to result in hypoinsulinemia and diabetes, but the molecular details remain unclear.
6482 23567972 In this study, we identified a novel molecular connection between Arnt and two clock-controlled output genes, albumin D-element binding protein (Dbp) and E4 binding protein 4 (E4bp4).
6483 23567972 Dbp mRNA decreased by 50%, E4bp4 mRNA increased by 50%, and Arnt mRNA decreased by 30% at Zeitgever Time (ZT) 12.
6484 23567972 E4BP4, a D-box negative regulator, oscillated anti-phase to DBP, a D-box positive regulator.
6485 23567972 Over-expression of DBP raised both mRNA and protein levels of ARNT in HEK293 and MIN6 cell lines.
6486 23567972 Arnt promoter-driven luciferase reporter assay in MIN6 cells revealed that DBP increased Arnt promoter activity by 2.5-fold and that E4BP4 competitively inhibited its activation.
6487 23567972 In addition, on ChIP assay, DBP and E4BP4 directly bound to D-box elements within the Arnt promoter in MIN6 cells.
6488 23567972 These results suggest that in mouse pancreatic islets mRNA expression of Arnt fluctuates significantly in a circadian manner and that the down-regulation of Dbp and up-regulation E4bp4 contribute to direct suppression of Arnt expression in diabetes.
6489 23572577 Receptor-mediated endocytosis, involving megalin and cubilin, mediates renal proximal-tubular reabsorption and is decreased in Dent disease because of mutations of the chloride/proton antiporter, chloride channel-5 (CLC-5), resulting in low-molecular-weight proteinuria, hypercalciuria, nephrolithiasis, and renal failure.
6490 23572577 Receptor-mediated endocytic uptake of fluorescent albumin and transferrin in 30:insH and R637X ciPTECs was significantly decreased, compared with normal ciPTECs, and could be further reduced by competition with 10-fold excess of unlabeled albumin and transferrin, whereas in the del132-241 ciPTEC, receptor-mediated endocytic uptake was abolished.
6491 23577111 Apelin receptor (APLNR) and the endogenous ligand of APLNR, apelin, induce the sprouting of endothelial cells in an autocrine or paracrine manner, which may be one of the mechanisms of DN.
6492 23577111 Therefore, we observed apelin/APLNR expression in kidneys from patients with type 2 diabetes as well as the correlation between albuminuria and serum apelin in patients with type 2 diabetes.
6493 23577111 The results showed that serum apelin was significantly higher in the patients with type 2 diabetes compared to healthy people (p<0.05, Fig. 1B) and that urinary albumin was positively correlated with serum apelin (R = 0.78, p<0.05).
6494 23577111 Apelin also promoted the permeability of glomerular endothelial cells (p<0.05) and upregulated the expression of VEGFR2 and Tie2 in glomerular endothelial cells (p<0.05).
6495 23577111 These results indicated that upregulated apelin in type 2 diabetes, which may be attributed to increased fat mass, promotes angiogenesis in glomeruli to form abnormal vessels and that enhanced apelin increases permeability via upregulating the expression of VEGFR2 and Tie2 in glomerular endothelial cells.
6496 23579096 Amadori products promote cellular senescence activating insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor and down-regulating the antioxidant enzyme catalase.
6497 23579096 We treated cultured human mesangial cells with glycated albumin, one of the most abundant Amadori product, and senescence was assessed by determining the senescence associated β-galactosidase activity and the expression of the cell cycle regulators p53 and p21.
6498 23579096 We demonstrated that prolonged exposition (more than 24h) to glycated albumin induced senescence and, in parallel, incremented the release of IGF-1 and the activation of the IGF-1 receptor.
6499 23579096 Activation of IGF-1R, after GA addition, promoted a reduction in the catalase content through the constitutive activation of Ras and erk1/2 proteins which were, in turn, responsible of the observed GA-induced senescence.

6511 23607045 Serum samples were analyzed for calcium, phosphorus, albumin, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, 25 (OH) vitamin D3, intact parathormone (PTH) levels (both cases and controls) and HbA1c, antimicrosomal and IgA tissue transglutaminase (IgA TTG) antibodies, cortisol, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), tetraiodothyronine (T4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) (cases only).
6512 23607045 Linear regression analysis showed that low BMD in T1DM patients was associated with poor glycaemic control, lower IGF-1 levels, less physical activity (in total population as well as in male and female subgroups), and lower body fat percentage (in females) and higher alkaline phosphatase level (in males) (P < 0.05).
6513 23615507 Rho-kinase inhibition prevents the progression of diabetic nephropathy by downregulating hypoxia-inducible factor 1α.
6514 23615507 Accumulating evidence shows that hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is a key regulator of renal sclerosis under diabetic conditions.
6515 23615507 However, the interactions of Rho-kinase and HIF-1α in the development of renal dysfunction have not been defined.
6516 23615507 Here, we assessed whether Rho-kinase blockade attenuates HIF-1α induction and the subsequent fibrotic response using type 2 diabetic mice and cultured mesangial cells.
6517 23615507 Fasudil, a Rho-kinase inhibitor, reduced urinary albumin excretion, mesangial matrix expansion, and the expression of fibrotic mediators in db/db mice.
6518 23615507 Further in vitro studies showed that pharmacological and genetic inhibition of Rho-kinase promoted proteasomal HIF-1α degradation, which subsequently suppressed HIF-1-dependent profibrotic gene expression by upregulation of prolyl hydroxylase 2.
6519 23633267 We present our experience of glucose-sensitive insulin-secreting mesenchymal stem cells (IS-MSC) generated and differentiated from human adipose tissue (h-AD) with application of specific differentiation media, sans xenogenic material. h-AD from donor abdominal wall was collected in proliferation medium composed of α-Minimum Essential Media, albumin, fibroblast-growth factor and antibiotics, minced, incubated in collagenase I at 37 °C with shaker and centrifuged.
6520 23633267 They were studied for transcriptional factors paired box genes-6(Pax-6), islet 1 transcriptional factor (Isl-1), pancreatic and duodenal homobox-1(Pdx-1).
6521 23641341 Trigonelline was also observed to protect the liver-kidney functions efficiently, which was evidenced by the significant decrease in the serum aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities and creatinine, albumin, and urea rates.
6522 23646149 Rosiglitazone treatment of type 2 diabetic db/db mice attenuates urinary albumin and angiotensin converting enzyme 2 excretion.
6523 23646149 Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is highly expressed in renal tubules and has been shown to be renoprotective in diabetes.
6524 23646149 Renal ACE2 and ADAM17 were significantly increased in db/db mice compared to controls.
6525 23646149 We investigated the effect of the insulin sensitizer, rosiglitazone, on albuminuria, renal ADAM17 protein expression and ACE2 shedding in db/db diabetic mice.
6526 23646149 Rosiglitazone treatment of db/db mice normalized hyperglycemia, attenuated renal injury and decreased urinary ACE2 and renal ADAM17 protein expression.
6527 23646149 Therefore, it is tempting to speculate that renoprotection of rosiglitazone could be partially mediated via downregulation of renal ADAM17 and ACE2 shedding.
6528 23646149 In addition, there was a positive correlation between blood glucose, urinary albumin, plasma glucagon, and triglyceride levels with urinary ACE2 excretion.
6529 23646149 Rosiglitazone treatment of type 2 diabetic db/db mice attenuates urinary albumin and angiotensin converting enzyme 2 excretion.
6530 23646149 Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is highly expressed in renal tubules and has been shown to be renoprotective in diabetes.
6531 23646149 Renal ACE2 and ADAM17 were significantly increased in db/db mice compared to controls.
6532 23646149 We investigated the effect of the insulin sensitizer, rosiglitazone, on albuminuria, renal ADAM17 protein expression and ACE2 shedding in db/db diabetic mice.
6533 23646149 Rosiglitazone treatment of db/db mice normalized hyperglycemia, attenuated renal injury and decreased urinary ACE2 and renal ADAM17 protein expression.
6534 23646149 Therefore, it is tempting to speculate that renoprotection of rosiglitazone could be partially mediated via downregulation of renal ADAM17 and ACE2 shedding.
6535 23646149 In addition, there was a positive correlation between blood glucose, urinary albumin, plasma glucagon, and triglyceride levels with urinary ACE2 excretion.
6536 23656889 Our results show that the albumin-to-creatinine ratio significantly decreased in diabetic KCa3.1(-/-) mice compared with diabetic wild-type mice and in diabetic eNOS(-/-) mice treated with TRAM34 compared with diabetic mice.
6537 23656889 The expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1), F4/80, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1), and type III and IV collagen significantly decreased (P < 0.01) in kidneys of diabetic KCa3.1(-/-) mice compared with diabetic wild-type mice.
6538 23656889 Furthermore, blocking the KCa3.1 channel in both animal models led to a reduction of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and TGF-β1 type II receptor (TβRII) and phosphorylation of Smad2/3.
6539 23737314 Family history of dyslipidemia was a predictor for hypertriglyceridemia (P=0.02), higher prothrombin time levels (P=0.013), lower albumin (P=0.024) and T4 (P=0.043) levels.
6540 23760284 The birth weight of 2192 study members with complete data was related to three markers of renal function at age 60-64 (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated using cystatin C (eGFRcys), eGFR calculated using creatinine and cystatin C (eGFRcr-cys), and the urine albumin-creatinine ratio) using linear regression.
6541 23762850 Random blood glucose concentrations were measured at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks, and plasma insulin levels, urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) values, the structures of pancreas and kidney, the expressions of TGF- β 1, synaptopodin, and IL-10 were assessed at 8 weeks after MSCs transplantation.
6542 23762850 MSCs transplantation together with UTMD prevented renal damage and decreased UAER values by inhibiting TGF- β 1 expression and upregulating synaptopodin and IL-10 expression.
6543 23801371 Prediagnostic plasma testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin, IGF-I and hepatocellular carcinoma: etiological factors or risk markers?
6544 23801371 Elevated prediagnostic testosterone and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) concentrations have been proposed to increase risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
6545 23801371 Testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and IGF-I were analyzed by immunoassays.
6546 23801371 After adjustments for epidemiological variables (body mass index, smoking, ethanol intake, hepatitis and diabetes) and liver damage (a score based on albumin, bilirubin, aspartate aminotransaminase, alanine aminotransaminase, gamma-glutamyltransferase and alkaline phosphatase concentrations), only SHBG remained significantly associated with risk [OR for top versus bottom tertile of 3.86 (1.32-11.3), p(trend) = 0.009].
6547 23801371 The observed associations of HCC with prediagnostic SHBG, free testosterone and IGF-I concentrations are in directions opposite to that expected under the etiological hypotheses.
6548 23823277 Albumin, uric acid, urea, total-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, aspartate-aminotransferase and alkaline-phosphatase were determined in serum.
6549 23825071 The pathophysiology of AGE-challenged podocytes, such as hypertrophy, apoptosis, and reduced cell migration, is closely related to the induction of the cell cycle inhibitor p27(Kip1) and to the inhibition of neuropilin 1 (NRP1).
6550 23825071 We have previously demonstrated that treatment with erythropoietin is associated with protective effects for podocytes in vitro. db/db mice with overt DN aged 15-16 wk were treated with either placebo, epoetin-β, or continuous erythropoietin receptor activator (CERA) for 2 wk. db/db mice compared with nondiabetic db/m control mice revealed the expected increases in body weight, blood glucose, albumin-to-creatinine ratio, and AGE accumulation.
6551 23825071 However, the albumin-to-creatinine ratio was significantly lower in db/db mice treated with epoetin-β or CERA.
6552 23825071 Induction of p27(Kip1) and suppression of NRP1 were significantly reduced in the epoetin-β treatment group versus the CERA treatment group.
6553 23825071 Together, independently from hematopoetic effects, epoetin-β or CERA treatment was associated with protective changes in DN, especially that NRP1 and p27(Kip1) expressions as well as numbers of podocytes returned to normal levels.
6554 23825071 The pathophysiology of AGE-challenged podocytes, such as hypertrophy, apoptosis, and reduced cell migration, is closely related to the induction of the cell cycle inhibitor p27(Kip1) and to the inhibition of neuropilin 1 (NRP1).

6557 23825071 Induction of p27(Kip1) and suppression of NRP1 were significantly reduced in the epoetin-β treatment group versus the CERA treatment group.
6558 23825071 Together, independently from hematopoetic effects, epoetin-β or CERA treatment was associated with protective changes in DN, especially that NRP1 and p27(Kip1) expressions as well as numbers of podocytes returned to normal levels.
6559 23828202 Increased hospital stay was associated with higher ALT (P = 0.041), lower albumin (P = 0.046), hemoglobin/hematocrit (P < 0.0021) but not TE.
6560 23837435 In the present study, whey protein isolate (WPI), α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin, serum albumin, and lactoferrin hydrolysates obtained by peptic digestion were investigated for their potential to serve as natural sources of DPP-IV and α-glucosidase inhibitors.
6561 23846524 The urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR), plasma urea nitrogen and creatinine, body weight, fasting blood glucose and 2-hour blood glucose during oral glucose tolerance testing, blood hemoglobin A1c, cholesterol, and triglyceride were determined at baseline time and 12 weeks after Tβ4 treatment for phenotypic characterizations.
6562 23920034 Before, during, and after DJBL implantation, we determined plasma levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), γ-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT), albumin, caspase-cleaved cytokeratin-18 (CK-18), and liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP).
6563 23920034 Six months after DJBLs were removed, levels of ALT (37 ± 3 IU/L), γ-GT (42 ± 5 IU/L), and caspase-cleaved CK-18 (124.5 ± 12.5U/L) were still reduced (P < .05), whereas AST and L-FABP had returned to near baseline levels (P = not significant).
6564 23924256 Patients had C-reactive protein (CRP), prealbumin, and albumin drawn twice weekly.
6565 23924256 There were no statistically significant differences in weekly changes to prealbumin, albumin, CRP, and CRP:prealbumin (C:P) ratio between group 1 and group 2 patients.
6566 23924256 Patients had C-reactive protein (CRP), prealbumin, and albumin drawn twice weekly.
6567 23924256 There were no statistically significant differences in weekly changes to prealbumin, albumin, CRP, and CRP:prealbumin (C:P) ratio between group 1 and group 2 patients.
6568 23925790 This systematic review analyzes publications related to diabetic lower extremity amputations and associated laboratory values, including lymphocyte count, albumin, hemoglobin, and glycemic control.
6569 23928372 Klotho deficiency in KL(+/-) mutant mice exacerbated STZ-induced increases in urine albumin, blood urea nitrogen, expansion of mesangial matrix in renal glomeruli, and kidney hypertrophy, suggesting a protective role of klotho in kidney function and structure.
6570 23928372 Notably, klotho deficiency significantly increased phosphorylation of Smad2, indicating enhanced TGFβ1 signaling in kidneys.
6571 23943142 The comparison of 24-hour urinary sodium, albumin, and protein excretion in chronic kidney disease patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using insulin detemir or insulin glargine.
6572 23950936 Plasma creatinine was higher in diabetic CTGF+/+ group (11.7±1.2 vs 7.9±0.6 µmol/L p<0.01), while urinary albumin excretion and mesangial expansion were reduced in diabetic CTGF+/- animals.
6573 23950936 Cortices from diabetic mice (both CTGF +/+ and CTGF +/-) manifested higher expression of CTGF and thrombospondin 1 (TSP1).
6574 23950936 Expression of nephrin was reduced in CTGF +/+ animals; this reduction was attenuated in CTGF+/- group.
6575 23950936 In cultured MEF from CTGF+/+ mice, glucose (25 mM) increased expression of pro-collagens 1, IV and XVIII as well as fibronectin and thrombospondin 1 (TSP1).
6576 23984430 Herein we evaluate the outcome of lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced AKI in streptozotocin-induced diabetes, as well as the potential role of Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF-1 α ) in this condition.
6577 23984430 Both HIF-1 α and vascular endothelium growth factor (VEGF) were found to be upregulated in diabetic mice.
6578 23984430 Glycated albumin (GA) was found to upregulate HIF-1 α in HK-2 cells, which resulted in increased production of VEGF.
6579 23984430 Interestingly, LPS cooperated with GA to induce HIF-1 α upregulation.
6580 23984430 Moreover, these animals showed an increased expression of both HIF-1 α and VEGF that was reproduced by incubating renal cells with GA.
6581 23984430 Since VEGF is considered a survival factor for tubular cells, our findings suggest that diabetes displays HIF-1 α upregulation that might function as a "precondition state" offering protection from endotoxic AKI.
6582 23990203 Association between urinary albumin excretion and low-density lipoprotein heterogeneity following treatment of type 2 diabetes patients with the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, vildagliptin: a pilot study.
6583 23996585 These proteins were found to be associated with neuropathy (α1-antitrypsin), ataxia (apolipoprotein A-I), oxidative stress (albumin), altered lipid metabolism (apolipoprotein C-II, C-III), etc.
6584 23611540 Induction of diabetes significantly increased renal sEH expression and decreased the renal EETs/DHETEs (dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid) ratio without affecting HO-1 activity or expression in SHR.
6585 23611540 Inhibition of sEH with t-AUCB increased the renal EETs/DHETEs ratio and HO-1 activity in diabetic SHR; however, it did not significantly alter systolic blood pressure.
6586 23611540 Treatment of diabetic SHR with t-AUCB significantly reduced the elevation in urinary albumin and nephrin excretion, whereas co-administration of the HO inhibitor SnMP with t-AUCB prevented these changes.
6587 23611540 Immunohistochemical analysis revealed elevations in renal fibrosis as indicated by increased renal TGF-β (transforming growth factor β) levels and fibronectin expression in diabetic SHR and these changes were reduced with sEH inhibition.
6588 23611540 In addition, SnMP treatment also prevented t-AUCB-induced decreases in renal macrophage infiltration, IL-17 expression and MCP-1 levels in diabetic SHR.
6589 23611540 These findings suggest that HO-1 induction is involved in the protective effect of sEH inhibition against diabetic renal injury.
