Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most widespread endocrine disorder in female and its complications are increasing all over the world, leading to life threatening medical problems like cardiovascular diseases, stroke and end stage renal diseases. An association between hypertension and diabetes mellitus has been identified.Objectives: The study was carried out to observe the association of hypertension with diabetes mellitus in adult female subjects.Methods : This cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, during the period of January 2011 to December 2011. A total number of one hundred female subjects were selected with age ranging from30 to50 years. Among them 50 diabetic female subjects were included from out-patient department of Endocrinology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka as study group(B) and 50 apparently healthy female were taken as control group(A) for comparison. Fasting serum insulin level was measured by ELISA method in the Department of Laboratory of National Institute of ENT, Dhaka and fasting blood glucose was estimated by glucose oxidase method in Department of Dhaka Medical College in both groups. Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of all participants were recorded by standard method. Data was analyzed by Unpaired Student’s- test and Pearson’s correlation co-efficient (r) test as applicable.Results: The value of fasting serum insulin level was significantly higher in diabetic subjects than those of non-diabetic subjects. Fasting blood glucose level was significantly higher diabetic patient in comparison to those of non-diabetic subjects. In diabetic subjects fasting serum insulin and fasting blood glucose levels were higher and showed positive correlation with systolic and diastolic blood pressure.Conclusion: Present study revealed that systolic and diastolic blood pressure has positive relationship with fasting serum insulin and fasting blood glucose levels.Bangladesh J Medicine Jan 2018; 29(1) : 7-12

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most widespread endocrine disorder in female and its complications are increasing all over the world, leading to life threatening medical problems like cardiovascular diseases, stroke and end stage renal diseases. A relation between hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus has been identified. The study was carried out to observe the serum triglycerides and total cholesterol levels its relation with type 2 diabetes mellitus in adult female subjects. This cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, during the period of January 2011 to December 2011. A total number of sixty female subjects were selected with age ranging from30 to50 years. Among them 30 female subjects with diabetes were included from out-patient department of Endocrinology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka as study group(B) and 30 apparently healthy female were taken as control group(A) for comparison. Estimation of fasting serum triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) levels were done by enzymatic method in the Department of Physiology, Dhaka Medical College Dhaka in both groups. Fasting serum insulin level was measured by ELISA method in the Department of Laboratory of National Institute of ENT, Dhaka and fasting blood glucose was estimated by glucose oxidase method in Department of Dhaka Medical College in both groups. Data were analyzed by Unpaired Student’s- test and Pearson’s correlation co-efficient (r) test as applicable. The value of fasting serum TG and TC level were significantly higher in study subjects than those of control. In study subjects fasting serum TG and fasting serum TC levels showed positive correlation with fasting blood glucose and serum insulin level. Conclusion: Present study revealed that fasting serum triglyceride (TG) and fasting serum cholesterol (TC) levels have positive relationship with fasting serum insulin and fasting blood glucose levels.

Background: An association between essential hypertension and defective insulin secretion has been identified. Objective: To estimate fasting serum insulin level in adult male with essential hypertension to observe its relationship to hypertension. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from July 2012 to June 2013. A total number of one hundred fifty male subjects were selected with age ranging from 25 to 45 years. Seventy five male essential hypertensive were enrolled from Out- patient Department of Medicine, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka. Age matched seventy five apparently healthy males were studied as control. Fasting serum insulin level was measured by ELISA method and fasting blood glucose by glucose oxidase method. For statistical analyses, unpaired Student’s ‘t’ and Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) tests were performed. Results: Fasting serum insulin level was significantly (P<0.001) higher in essential hypertensive male patients than normotensive subjects. Fasting serum insulin level shows significant positive correlation with systolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Conclusion: This study reveals that essential hypertension has positive and significant relationship with fasting serum insulin level.

Background: Infertility has become a global health problem in the world wide affecting 8-10% of couple. It is also a matter of social injustice and inequality. Increase level of insulin has been implicated as a cause of infertility. Objective: To find out the association of fasting serum insulin level with gonadotropins in infertile women. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in the department of Physiology, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from July 2010 to June 2011. A total number of 150 female age ranged from 20 – 40 years were included in this study. Out of them100 infertile women were selected as study group (group B). Group B was subdivided into group B1 and B2. Group B1 consisted of 50 primary infertile women and group B2 consisted of 50 secondary infertile women. Rest 50 age matched apparently healthy parous women were considered as base line control group A. All the study subjects were selected from out patient department of infertility unit, BSMMU, Dhaka. The control subjects were selected by personal contact. Serum fasting insulin was measured by enzyme-link-immunosorbend assay. Fasting blood glucose and blood glucose two hours after breakfast were measured by glucose oxidase method. The Data were collected in a prescribed data sheet after taking written consent. Statistical analyses were done by unpaired students “t” tests by SPSS program version 12. The level of significance was calculated and p value <0.05 was accepted as level of significance. Results: In this study, the mean fasting serum insulin level were significantly higher in infertile women than those of fertile women (p<0.001). Within the study group serum fasting insulin was higher in primary infertile women than that of secondary infertile women both were statistically not significant. Again, serum FSH and LH levels were significantly lower (P<.0001) in infertile women than those of fertile women. But serum FSH level was lower and LH level was higher in primary infertile women than that of secondary infertile women. In addition, fasting blood glucose level was almost similar but within normal limits in all groups. Blood glucose 2HABF was significantly higher in secondary infertile women than that of fertile women but within in normal limit. Moreover, fasting serum insulin level was negatively correlated with serum FSH and LH in primary infertility but negatively correlated with serum FSH and positive correlation with serum LH in secondary infertility. Conclusion: From the above study it may be concluded that fasting serum insulin level was higher in infertile women than those of healthy fertile women. These alterations may lead to menstrual irregularities, ovulatory dysfunction and infertility. http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpp.v29i1-2.20063 Bangladesh J Physiol Pharmacol 2013; 29(1&2) : 17-24

Background: Animal studies show that ovarian hormone deficiency is associated with development of insulin resistance. In women, the menopause transition marks the cessation of ovarian function and insulin sensitivity would be reduced in postmenopausal women.Aim and Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the insulin sensitivity in Myanmar postmenopausal women compared to premenopausal womenMaterial and Methods: A cross sectional comparative study was undertaken in non obese, normal glucose tolerant post menopausal women (n=42, BMI (mean± SD) 21.3±2.8 kg/m2, age 52.6±4.4 years) and premenopausal women (n=33, BMI(mean± SD)  19.7±2.2 kg/m2, age32.7±4.9 years). Insulin sensitivity was assessed by homeostasis model assessment method of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) based on fasting blood glucose and fasting serum insulin level. Blood glucose was determined by glucose oxidase method. Serum insulin was estimated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results:No differences in fasting blood glucose level (Mean ±SD 4.87±0.51 vs. 4.76±0.63mmol/L), fasting serum insulin level [median and interquartile range (IQR) 8.1 (6.7-11.8) vs. 8.1(6.5-9.9)    µ IU/ml] and HOMA-IR [median and IQR 1.7 (1.4-2.8) vs. 1.7 (1.2-2.2)] were found between premenopausal and postmenopausal women.Conclusion: Postmenopausal status has no effect on insulin sensitivity in postmenopausal women.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(5) 2016 36-41

Background Gestational diabetes is a growing problem worldwide, with risks for both the woman and the baby. Stress has been shown to be linked with diabetes, and therefore research is examining the effect of relaxation on blood pressure. Aim To assess the effect of relaxation on blood glucose and blood pressure in women with gestational diabetes mellitus. Methods This quasi-experimental study was performed with a sample of 80 participants. Fasting blood glucose and systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured before and after the intervention, which was a 10-week programme of home mind-body and relaxation. Findings Both systolic blood pressure and fasting blood glucose in the control group were significantly higher (P<0.001). Diastolic blood pressure in both groups was not found to be significantly different (P=0.151). Conclusions Relaxation exercises reduce fasting blood glucose and systolic blood pressure in women with gestational diabetes mellitus.

Many traditional treatments have been recommended in the alternative system of medicine for diabetes mellitus. However, the mode of action of most of the herbals used has not been defined. It has been reported that sex hormones are important regulators of insulin-mediated events in skeletal muscles. In view of this, a novel herbal preparation containing antidiabetic and aphrodisiac plants was used in the present study. Adult male albino rats were divided into following groups after induction of diabetes. Rats were given an intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of streptozotocin (STZ), at a dose of 65 mg/kg body weight after overnight fasting, to induce diabetic state with blood glucose levels >250 mg/dL. Group 1—Control rats treated with single i.p. injection of vehicle, Group 2—Rats treated with polyherbal preparation (PHP; 500 mg/kg body weight by oral intubation, morning and evening for 30 days), Group 3—STZ-diabetic rats treated orally with equal volumes of vehicle (water) alone and Group 4—STZ-diabetic rats treated with PHP after 10 days of diabetic induction. STZ-diabetes decreased the body weight, serum insulin level and glucose oxidation in liver and skeletal muscles but increased the fasting blood glucose level. After polyherbal treatment, body weight and glucose oxidation were completely restored to control level while serum insulin level was restored partially and the glucose tolerance was significantly improved. There was a significant decrease in total haemoglobin (Hb) level of diabetic rats when compared to control but polyherbal treatment significantly improved the same. However, the other parameters studied (red blood cell [RBC], white blood corpuscle [WBC], packed cell volume [PCV], mean corpuscular volume [MCV] and mean corpuscular haemoglobin [MCH]) were unaltered. In conclusion, the anti-diabetic properties of PHP appear to be mediated through pancreatic β-cell regeneration, resulting in maintenance of optimal blood glucose and its oxidation in liver and skeletal muscles.
