Background: Uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus can have devastating consequences. The role of functional foods in controlling and even preventing diabetes mellitus is prominent, and adjunct therapies can be helpful in controlling some of the consequences of diabetes.Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether gallic acid, as a functional food, as well as cold atmospheric plasma, as an adjunct therapy, have an effect on the levels of some antioxidant enzymes, inflammatory factors, and the levels of oxidizing agent and blood glucose.Methods: In this study, 30 healthy individuals, as the control group, and 30 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected. Samples of people with diabetes were examined before and after treatment with gallic acid and cold atmospheric plasma (cold argon plasma jet for 10 minutes). Levels of interleukin 2 and 13 and NF-κB, as inflammatory factors, glutathione reductase, paraoxonase, and lipoprotein lipase, as antioxidants, hydrogen peroxide and blood glucose were assessed in untreated and treated diabetic groups and control group according to kit instructions.Results: Comparison of the results of the levels of inflammatory factors, antioxidants, blood glucose, and hydrogen peroxide showed a significant difference (P value < 0.05) between the diabetic and control groups. Treatment of diabetic specimens with plasma and gallic acid showed a significant increase (P value < 0.05) in glutathione reductase, paraoxonase, and NF-κB levels compared to the untreated diabetic group.Conclusions: The results showed that concomitant use of gallic acid, as well as plasma therapy, could be effective on NF-κB, glutathione reductase, and paraoxonase levels.Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, Cold plasma, Inflammatory factors, Gallic acid

BACKGROUND:Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a major non-communicable disease resulting from insulin resistance and is associated with cardiovascular,neurological and renal complications.Recent studies show association of hyperuricemia and Diabetes Mellitus.Uric acid increases oxidative stress that leads to vascular dysfunction and high intra glomerular pressure leading to renal complications.High serum creatinine is an indicator of renal compromise. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate serum uric acid and serum creatinine levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and to find association between them. METHODOLOGY: The study was conducted in Osmania general hospital. Fifty cases of established Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus formed the study group and 50 normal healthy individuals formed the control group. Serum uric acid, Fasting Blood Glucose (FBS) and serum creatinine were estimated by colorimetric enzymatic methods on Beckman coulter AU5800.Mean values were compared in cases and controls using student t- test.Study group was further studied under 2 subgroups with serum Uric acid < 7 mg/dl and ≥7 mg/dl.In these 2 subgroups the association of Serum uric acid with FBS and creatinine was analysed statistically. RESULTS: Serum uric acid were found high in cases(7.63+/- 3.36)as compared to controls(4.48+/- 1.09) p value < 0.001.Serum creatinine were also high in cases(1.59+/- 1.39 )as compared to controls ( 0.87+/- 0.29) p value <0.005.Study subgroup with serum uric acid ≥7 mg/dl was associated with high creatinine and high fasting blood sugar levels when compared to subgroup with serum uric acid <7 mg/dl. CONCLUSION: Our study showed increased serum uric acid and serum creatinine levels in cases when compared to controls.There was significant association between high serum uric acid and high creatinine levels in cases.Therefore,it is important to measure serum uric acid and serum creatinine levels in diabetics for early detection of renal pathology.

Introduction and Aim:The atherosclerosis is the major cause of morbidity and mortality among diabetes population. Diabetes mellitus can accelerate atherosclerotic processes. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) plays a significant role in both glucose and lipid metabolism through adenosine. This study aimed to correlate the atherosclerotic index with adenosine deaminase levels in Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The aim of the study is to find the association between serum ADA levels with atherosclerotic index.   Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study conducted in 100 subjects (50 control and 50 T2DM patients). The following biochemical parameter were estimated:total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, HDL- C and ADA. VLDL, LDL and other atherosclerotic index were calculated using formulae. Statistical analysis such as Student’s‘t’ test and Pearson’s correlation were performed.   Results: We found significant increase (p value <0.001) in lipid profile, Non-HDL-C and lipid ratio when compared to T2DM with control group. The correlation of serum ADA with lipid profile and lipid ratio didnot show any correlation.   Conclusion: Serum ADA used as a biomarker for evaluation of glycemic status. ADA was insignificant, when correlated with dyslipidemia and atherosclerotic index.

Diabetes mellitus hyperglycemia is a chronic disease characterized by the absence of insulin or a relative decrease in cell insensitivity to insulin that requires continuous treatment and ongoing self-management to prevent acute complications and reduce the risk of chronic complications. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is particularly by physical activity. This study aims to understand the difference between two exercise regimens on blood glucose levels reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test post-test control group design. 60 respondents were selected via random sampling and divided evenly into two groups of 30 individuals: 1) the treatment group; and 2) the control group. A Wilcoxon test performed on the treatment group yielded P-value = 0,005 < ? = 0,05 and a Wilcoxon test performed on the control group yielded P-value = 0,046 < ? = 0,05. The conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that physical activity has an effect of reducing blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and, when comparing the differences in blood glucose level reduction, a combined regimen of putu sila and Tai Chi is more effective than Tai Chi alone.

Abstract Background Adiponectin is associated with improved systemic insulin sensitivity and profound positive effects in adipose tissue, such as increasing mitochondrial density in adipocytes, reducing adipocyte size, and effective esterification of free fatty acids on lipid storage The factor performs forward transcriptional regulation. Diabetes and its complications are considered to be one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Objectives The aim of this study was to correlate serum levels of adiponectin with insulin resistance in Sudanese males' type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methodology: A case-control community-based study carried out among 126 patients with T2DM as cases group (mean ages 45.2 ± 5.4 years); and 126 normal healthy individuals as controls group (mean ages 44.7 ± 5.4 years as) in Aldaraga Diabetic Center, Wad Medani, Gezira State, Sudan. About Five mL of fasting venous blood was obtained from all participants. HbA1c, FPG, FPI, serum Adiponectin, and (HOMA)-IR were analyzed. SPSS (v 20.0) was used for data analysis. Results The mean of serum adiponectin in the cases group (3.03 ± 0.90µg/ml) was lower than the control group (6.02 ± 4.24µg/ml) giving highly significant differences -between them (P = value ≤ 0.000). HbA1c and Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance index (HOMA-IR) differed significantly between the two groups (P-value ≤ 0.000). Serum adiponectin concentrations correlated significantly negative with HOMA IR (r = -0.149, P-value = 0.002). Conclusion We concluded that low plasma adiponectin level was predictive of future development of Insulin resistance in Sudanese males.

Abstract Objective The aim of the present study is to investigate the association of urinary calprotectin levels with lower extremities peripheral arterial disease (LEPAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Background calprotectin is formed by two different calcium- binding proteins; it constitutes about 40% of neutrophils all cytosolic proteins. Calprotectin or its components (S100A8/S100A9) consider as a potential therapeutic target in inflammatory conditions including diabetes mellitus. The ankle-brachial index of less than 0.9 was applied for LEPAD diagnosis. Method we recruited 60 patients with T2DM; half of them had LEPAD and a healthy control group consists of 30 participants. Urinary Calprotectin and high sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) were measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay kit. Results Urinary calprotectin level was statistically significant higher among the three participating groups (p value &lt;0.001), however, in post-hoc analysis there was no difference between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with or without LEPAD (p value =0.993). However, urinary calprotectin was weakly associated with LEPAD severity (p value = 0.175, p value = 0.06 respectively).There was a statistically significant positive correlation between urinary calprotectin level and hsCRP (r = 0.65, p value 0.001). Conclusion Urinary calprotectin cannot be used as a biomarker for LEPAD in T2DM.

Background: Atherosclerosis is a known macro-vascular complication of diabetes mellitus. Gliptins, as a drug class have non-glycemic beneficial action on blood vessels and in addition to their anti-diabetic effects. This study was carried out to find out the effects of sitagliptin and vildagliptin on common carotid intima-media thickness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods: The observational longitudinal study was carried out on 100 patients with 80 patients with confirmed clinical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. They were divided in 3 groups. Group A and Group B received drugs, either sitagliptine or vildagliptin and Group C control group did not receive any drug. High resolution B-mode ultrasonography was carried out for the measurement of intima-media thickness (IMT) of both the common carotid arteries (CCA). Data analysis was done using Microsoft excel spreadsheet and GraphPad Prism version 7.0 (free trial version) software package. A p value of ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results: The baseline value for the control group was 0.812±0.0748 mm for both the right and left CCA. At 52 weeks the CCA IMT for the right and left CCA were 1.0185± 0.272 mm and 0.936±0.149 mm respectively. At 104 weeks the CCA IMT for the right and left CCA were 0.923±0.243 mm and 0.859±0.123 mm respectively.Conclusions: There was a significant decrease in carotid intima-media thickness in patients of type-2 diabetes mellitus treated with sitagliptin and vildagliptin.

Abstract BackgroundTo evaluate the level and correlation of serum neuropeptide cakiNnin gene-elated peptide (CORP), somatostatin (SS) and inflammatory factors (CRP, TNF-o, MCP-1 and sICAM-1) in patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CAD) complicated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), to explore the mechanism of diabetic patients prone to complicated CAD.MethodsPatients were divided into three groups according to corcmary angiography results and whether there was a history of type 2 diabetes: control group (no CAD or DM; n 58), CAD group (stable CAD without DM; n 68) and DM+CAD group (stable CAD+DM; n =66). The age, sex ratio and body mass index (BMI) of the three groups were balanced, and the indexes of serum CORP, SS and inflammatory factors (CRP, TNE-a, IL-113, MCP-1 and sICAM-1) were measured by ELASA method. The relationship between serum CORP, SS and inflammatory factors (CRP, TNE-¢,11,-1), MCP-1 and sICAM-1) were analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis, and the risk factors f CAD were analysed by binary logistic regression model.ResultsThere were significant differences between neuropeptides (CORP, SS) and inflammatory factors (CRP, TNT', IL-I, MCP-1 and sICAM-1) in the th©© groups. Compared with the control group and the CAD group, CGRP and SS were decreased (P < 0.05), and inflammatory factors were significantly increased (P < 0.05) in the DMTCAD group. CGRP and SS were negatively correlated with inflammatory factors. Logistic regression model showed that CORP, SS, 11-10 and MCP-1 were independent risk factors for CAD (P <0.05). ConclusionCompared with the control group and the CAD group, patients in the DMTCAD group had less CGRP and SS but more inflammatory factors. Moreover, the inflammabry factors were negatively correlated with neuropeptides, and neuropeptides and some inflammatory factors are independent risk factors for CAD. This suggests that the TRPV1 injury in the sensory nerve endings and the reduction of neuropeptides release in type 2 diabetic patients may increase the risk of CAD. The mechanism may include that these neuropeptides may inhibit the inflammatory response to some extend
