Onset and duration of action of single doses of formoterol inhaled via Turbuhaler.

The aim of the study was to investigate the time of onset and the duration of the bronchodilating effect of different doses of formoterol administered via Turbuhaler in patients with moderate asthma. Thirty-one patients (five women) with a mean forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) of 1.97 +/- 0.

The inhalation device influences lung deposition and bronchodilating effect of terbutaline.

The development of new inhalation devices for asthma drugs raises the issue of the relationship between pulmonary deposition and therapeutic effect of inhaled drugs in patients with obstructive lung diseases. We thus conducted a randomized, double-blind and double-dummy, four-period crossover study in 13 patients with moderate asthma (mean age 36 yr; FEV1 59% of predicted), who inhaled 0.25 and 0.

Intravenous enterostatin does not affect single meal food intake in man.

Enterostatin, a pentapeptide released with colipase from pancreatic procolipase in man, affects eating behaviour in animals. We report the first phase II study of intravenous (i.v.

Long-term effects of glipizide on insulin secretion and blood glucose control in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Of 23 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), whose fasting blood glucose had not reached less than or equal to 6.0 mmol.l-1 after 10 weeks of dietary regulation, 15, who had had a weight reduction of -2.

Dose-dependent effects of glyburide on insulin secretion and glucose uptake in humans.

Objective: To examine the relationship between plasma glyburide concentrations (0, 50, 100, 200, 400, and 800 nM) and the insulin response and glucose metabolism during euglycemic (4.6 +/- 0.1 mM) and hyperglycemic (11.
