L. "hairy" roots as a rich source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.

The present study aimed to determine the bioactive profile of various extracts of Cichorium intybus L. "hairy" roots. In particular, the total content of flavonoids as well as the reducing power, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of the aqueous and ethanolic (70%) extracts were evaluated.

[EMG characteristics of women in respect with phase of the menstrual cycle, season and type of vegetative regulation].

Here we report on the electromyographic (EMG) characteristics of young females (n = 23, 19.9 +/- 1.4 years) under varied environmental and physical conditions: 4 phases of menstrual cycle phase (early and late follicular, ovulation, and luteal), spring and autumn seasons, and type of the vegetative nervous system (VNS) regulation based on the linear and novel non-linear parameters of interference EMG (iEMG) in m.

Safety of new algorithms for premeal insulin boluses in high glycaemic index meals in persons with type 1 diabetes mellitus using insulin pumps.

Aims: Consumption of glucose or foodstuffs with high glycaemic index (GI) in persons with type 1 diabetes mellitus (PWD1) is a hot topic in present diabetology. The aim of our pilot prospective study was to assess the efficiency of empirically suggested simple algorithms for premeal boluses in PWD1 using insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

Methods: Six PWD1 (aged 46.

Occurence of adverse events due to continuous glucose monitoring.

Aims: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) using transcutaneous sensors is becoming a sophisticated method to control and regulate glucose metabolism. The transcutaneous sensor of the CGM system (CGMS Medtronic Minimed, Northridge, CA, USA) is chosen to measure glucose concentration in interstitial fluid up to three days after insertion even though its function remains stable for a longer period. The question arises, which factors really limit the period of sensor insertion without unnecessary risk.
