In Exp. 1, rats were food-deprived for either 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 days in a wheel or stabilimeter. Activity increased with deprivation for the wheel groups only, whereas blood glucose decreased in both conditions but significantly more for the wheel groups. Glucose was more highly related to weight loss than activity. In Exp. 2, groups were deprived in the wheels but prevented from running just prior to blood analysis. No short-term effect was observed; rather glucose changes were the same as found in Exp. 1. A possible relationship between glucose and activity is discussed.

Introduction. Systemic steroid therapy leads to disturbances in carbohydrate metabolism. The effect of immunosuppression with intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) pulses on glycaemia is not conclusive. Aim. This study aimed to assess the short-term effect of IVMP therapy in moderate-to-severe Graves' orbitopathy (GO) on glycaemic control in normoglycaemic patients with and without pre-diabetes. Material and Methods. Twenty-five GO patients treated with IVMP pulses (at initial dose of 6 x 0.5 g once a week, followed by0.25 g given for 6 consecutive weeksweekly) were recruited and divided into a normoglycaemic group (n = 15, patients without pre-diabetes) and a pre-diabetic group (n = 10, patients with impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) and/or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)). Six daily capillary blood glucose measurements were performed at fixed times the day before and on the day of the first pulse administration. Results. There was a significant increase in the glucose concentration on the day of IVMP administration in both groups of patients compared to the day before drug administration, with 50% of patients showing an increase in blood glucose above 200 mg/dl. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Conclusions. Methylprednisolone in a high intravenous dose has a tremendous impact on the blood glucose level in normoglycaemic and pre-diabetic patients on the day of drug administration.

A test was done to see if reading a newspaper which consistently overrepresents foreigners as criminals strengthens the automatic association between foreign country and criminal in memory (i.e., implicit cultivation). Further, an investigation was done to find out if reading articles from the same newspaper produces a short-term effect on the same measure and if (1) emotionalization of the newspaper texts, (2) emotional reactions of the reader (indicated by arousal), and (3) attributed text credibility moderate the short-term treatment effect. Eighty-five participants were assigned to one of three experimental conditions. Participants in the control group received short factual crime texts, where the nationality of the offender was not mentioned. Participants in the factual treatment group received the same texts, but the foreign nationality was mentioned. Participants in the emotionalized treatment group received emotionalized articles (i.e., texts which are high in vividness and frequency) covering the same crimes, with the foreign nationality mentioned. Supporting empirical evidence for implicit cultivation and a short-term effect was found. However, only emotionalized articles produced a short-term effect on the strength of the automatic association, indicating that newspaper texts must have a minimum of stimulus intensity to overcome an effect threshold. There were no moderating effects of arousal or credibility pertaining to the impact on the implicit measure. However, credibility moderated the short-term effect on a first-order judgment (i.e., estimated frequency of foreigners of all criminals). This indicates that a newspaper’s effect on the strength of automatic associations is relatively independent from processes of propositional reasoning.
