Association between Long Term Exposure to Air Pollution, Impaired Fasting Glucose, Impaired Glucose Tolerance and Prevalence of Diabetes.

Unlabelled: Air pollution exposure have been shown to adversely impact health through a number of biological pathways, and is also associated with glucose metabolism. There are few studies that evaluated the associations between air pollution and fasting blood sugar and HbA1C levels. But no such study occurred in Indian population.

Prevalence of Rheumatological Manifestations in Diabetic Population from North-West India.

Introduction: An increased prevalence of rheumatological manifestations is recognised in diabetes and is a common source of disability. The relationship with other risk factors and glycaemic control is uncertain. We designed this study to find out the prevalence of rheumatological manifestations, association with various risk factors and to assess differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Hepatocyte growth factor, adiponectin and hepatic histopathology in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

Objectives: Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and Adiponectin are adipokines. Serum HGF and adiponectin levels are strongly associated with liver disease, obesity, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome (MS). Non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the hepatic component of metabolic syndrome.
