Effects of tiadenol and clofibrate on plasma post heparin lipolytic hepatic, extrahepatic and monoglyceride hydrolase activities in rats with hypertriglyceridemia induced by a sucrose rich diet.

Normal rats fed an isocaloric sucrose-rich diet (SRD) for 3 weeks developed high levels of triacylglycerol in plasma (P) (mmol triacylglycerol I-1) heart (H) and liver (L) tissues (mumol triacylglycerol mg DNA-1) as compared to control rats fed the standard chow (STD) (X +/- SEM; P: SRD 1.32 +/- 0.06 vs STD 0.

Effect of sucrose diet on insulin secretion in vivo and in vitro and on triglyceride storage and mobilisation of the heart of rats.

Basal heart triacylglycerol (TG) (mumole triacylglycerol/g of dry weight) (- before "in vitro" Langendorff perfusion -) was significantly higher in animals rendered chronically hypertriglyceridaemic (H) by a 63% sucrose-rich diet than in controls (C, standard diet); 28 +/- 2.6 means + SEM vs. 19.

Male diabetic sexual impotence: effects of dopaminergic agents.

A double blind study was carried out with placebo and dopaminergic agents in 100 patients with male diabetic sexual impotence. In basal conditions, mean serum FSH, LH, PRL, and T levels did not significantly differ from those found in a normal control group. No significant variations with the exception of PRL reduction were observed after use of the dopaminergic agents.
