Obesity represents a risk factor for the emergence of chronic non-communicable diseases, such as Diabetes Mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. Adequate monitoring of blood glucose and lipid profile has been shown to be protective factors for the onset of these diseases. Some preparations based on carbohydrates are part of the culture of the northeast region of Brazil and, depending on how they are consumed, they can trigger different responses to the organism. This study evaluated the glycemic response and the concentration of some plasma fats after intake of preparations with added fibers and/or proteins. The BMI of the participants was calculated and the informed consent form and the FFQ were completed. Blood sampling was performed before food tasting. One hour after food intake, the blood collection procedure was repeated. It was found that, in the preparations with addition of fibers and/or proteins, there was less glycemic response in comparison to the food consumed alone; moreover, there were changes in the lipid profile. Thus, considering the addition of fibers and proteins to these preparations can be an interesting strategy for nutritional management

Intrauterine Growth

Introduction: In developing countries more than 90% infants are born with low birth weight (LBW). In Bangladesh the incidence is about 30%. Newborn baby has got a definite difference in metabolic profile from the adult; this difference is much more pronounced in case of LBW newborn. Infants born prematurely or following intrauterine malnutrition may develop abnormally low plasma glucose concentration for a prolonged period as a result of the failure to adapt a metabolic and endocrine response.Glucose is an essential nutrient for the brain. Abnormally low levels (hypoglycaemia) can cause encephalopathy and have the potential to produce long-term neurological injury. Adequate knowledge about neonatal physiology is important in the management of LBW neonates in the neonatal nursery specially in the first 48 hours of life as most of the neonatal deaths occur in this critical period of time. Objectives: To evaluate the clinical features of hypoglycaemic low birth weight (LBW) neonates in the first 48 hours of life. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 56 LBW neonates in the inpatient departments of Paediatrics and Obstetrics of Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Dhaka between 15th September 2010 to 14th March 2011. LBW (Weight <2500gm) neonates, both term and preterm, from birth to 48 hours of age and who were well at the time of blood collection were included in this study. After enrollment of the newborn, with all aseptic precaution blood samples were taken from cord (as basal) at birth, from venous blood at 2 hours and then from capillary blood at 4 hours, in between 12-24 hours and in between 24-48 hours by heel prick from each case . Cord and capillary blood glucose were measured by using “Accu-Check-Active”- glucometer. Blood glucose concentrations less than 2.6 mmol/L irrespective of weight and gestational age were considered as low for the purpose of analysis. Results: It was revealed from the study that the mean birth weight was 1.77 gm mean gestational age was 36.09 weeks. 30 ( 53.57% ) were intrauterine growth retarded (IUGR) and 26 (46.43% ) were appropriate for gestational age (AGA). Out of thirty IUGR, 24 (51.79%) infants had low blood glucose (<2.6 mmol/L) levels. Twenty-two (75.86%) of 29 low birth weight infants showed low blood glucose at one of the five time points, 07 (17.07%) had low values on two hypoglycemia at 12-24 hours of age.The mean blood glucose concentration in LBW infants were 4.03 mmol/L at birth (cord), 2.33mmol/L at 2 hours, 2.96mmol/L, at 4 hours 3.14mmol/L, at 12—24hours and 3.43mmol/ L at 24—48hours of age. In the first 48 hours, the lowest blood glucose (mean) concentrations were found at 2 hours after delivery.Hypoglycaemia was most common among the preterm intrauterine growth retarded (IUGR) neonates at 2 hours after delivery. Most 23 (79.31%) of the hypoglycaemic infants were asymptomatic and 6 (20.69%) had symptoms.Early feeding prevents hypoglycaemia and appears to influence subsequent glucose values. Among the manifestations jitteriness, hyperalert, tachypnoea, high pitched cry, lethargy, apnoea and poor feeding were observed. Conclusion: The study findings may be helpful in the management of LBW neonates with hypoglycaemia and will encourage the mother in initiation of feeding immediately after delivery.

Forty advanced pregnant Jafarabadi buffaloes of 2-4 parity were divided into two equal groups, viz., control and treatment (n = 20 each). The animals of control group were maintained on routine farm feeding schedule and those under treatment group were subjected to additional oral supplements daily with 50 g of chelated mineral mixture and 150 g of bypass fat along with concentrates for 6 weeks prepartum till 2 weeks postpartum, and then bypass fat was given @ 15 g/litre of milk produced till 60 days postpartum. All the buffaloes were subjected to blood collection on day -45, -30, -7, 0, 7, 15, 30, 45 and 60 peripartum. Postpartum animals were followed at weekly interval by per rectal palpation and ultrasonographically for uterine involution, first postpartum estrus and conception. The overall mean blood glucose of prepartum period increased significantly (p less than0.01) on the day of calving and reduced back to prepartum levels within next 7 days postpartum in both the groups. The buffaloes supplemented with peripartum nutrients had significantly (p less than 0.01) higher blood glucose levels than the control group. The mean plasma total protein (7.96 ± 0.04 g/dl) and thyroid hormones T3 (1.44 ± 0.05 ng/ml) and T4 (28.25 ± 0.86 ng/ml) were found to be within the normal range, and did not vary between sampling days or between groups. The peripartum supplementation of bypass fat did not influence the levels of plasma total cholesterol. However, the levels of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) tended to be higher in control than treatment group at most of the peripartum intervals. The period of uterine involution (32.75 ± 0.57 vs 37.00 ± 0.56 days) and service period (107.10 ± 4.43 vs 133.65 ± 6.04 days) were significantly (p less than 0.05) shorter with higher postpartum fertility (85 vs 50% CR) in nutrient supplemented than control group. It was concluded that peripartum bypass fat and mineral supplementation prevented negative energy balance and/or ketosis and improved postpartum fertility in high yielding Jaffrabadi buffaloes.

Portable blood glucose meters (PBGMs) are small electronic devices that measure the concentration of glucose in whole blood. Due to the technological advances, measurement of glucose concentration is carried out in a small blood volume, and it is a relatively simple, quick and inexpensive procedure. PBGMs are frequently used in companion animal medicine, especially for the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of dogs and cats with diabetes mellitus and hypoglycaemia. The main factors affecting the precision of the measurement include: a) the device (manufacturer), the consumables (reagent strips) and their storage conditions; b) environmental conditions (temperature and possibly altitude); c) blood collection technique (site of sampling, cleanliness at the site of sampling, use of anticoagulants); d) patient factors (haematocrit, blood triglycerides, creatinine, uric acid and protein concentrations, drug administration); and, e) operator errors. Due to all these factors, readings of glucose concentration by PBGMs may differ from those of chemistry analysers, and this should be taken into account when shifting from one method to the other. Furthermore, because the results depend on the PBGM, the same device should be used and all measurements should be made under the same environmental conditions and using the same blood sampling technique for serial measurements of blood glucose to be comparable. Finally, all the above mentioned limitations of glucose measurement by PBGMs should be taken into consideration and the results should be interpreted along with the clinical signs and any other laboratory findings for optimal diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.

Blood Glucose Concentrations

Noninvasive, glucose-monitoring technologies using infrared spectroscopy that have been studied typically require a calibration process that involves blood collection, which renders the methods somewhat invasive. We develop a truly noninvasive, glucose-monitoring technique using mid-infrared spectroscopy that does not require blood collection for calibration by applying domain adaptation (DA) using deep neural networks to train a model that associates blood glucose concentration with mid-infrared spectral data without requiring a training dataset labeled with invasive blood sample measurements. For realizing DA, the distribution of unlabeled spectral data for calibration is considered through adversarial update during training networks for regression to blood glucose concentration. This calibration improved the correlation coefficient between the true blood glucose concentrations and predicted blood glucose concentrations from 0.38 to 0.47. The result indicates that this calibration technique improves prediction accuracy for mid-infrared glucose measurements without any invasively acquired data.

Background: Methionine and choline may play role in maintaining health by metabolic optimization in transition Surti buffaloes. Present study has evaluated physiological, hematological, biochemical and thermographic changes on supplementation of rumen protected methionine and choline in transition Surti buffaloes. Methods: 27 Surti buffaloes were divided in 3 groups (n=9) as G-I, G-II and G-III. Apart from basal diet offered to G-I (control), supplementation of RPM in G-II and RPM+RPC in G-III was done from -15 d to 30 d postpartum. Dose per/animal/day of RPM and RPC was 10 g and 50 g respectively. Blood collection, measurement of meteorology, BCS, physiological parameters and infrared thermography were done -15 d, 1st, 3rd and 6th week of calving. Result: RPM and RPC supplementation increased BCS, blood glucose, TP, ALB, T3, T4, Ca, P and Mg levels and decreased BUN, Cr, AST, ALT, GGT, GLDH and cortisol levels during transition period in Surti buffaloes. RPM and RPC supplementation also decreased RT, TT and ET at 1st week postpartum period in Surti buffaloes. Supplementation of RPM +RPC as compared to RPM alone, gave better results in terms of biochemical analytes in transition Surti buffaloes.

Abstract Automated chemical analysis was applied to constant in-vivo experiments on dogs for the determination of blood alcohol. The continuous blood collection was similar to that in earlier experiments for determination of blood glucose in humans. Although interferences by glucose was observed in the chemical methodology used, preliminary data show that the rise of blood alcohol is slower following I.V. administration of alcohol-water mixtures than with alcohol-saline solutions. With the experimental animal under pentobarbital anesthesia, the alcohol equilibrium is reached more rapidly and the elimination period is significantly prolonged.
