Impact of prolonged neuromuscular electrical stimulation on metabolic profile and cognition-related blood parameters in type 2 diabetes: A randomized controlled cross-over trial.

Aims: This study aimed to examine the effect of prolonged neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on the metabolic profile and cognition-related blood parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: Fourteen patients with T2DM (63.2 ± 3.

Effect of nifedipine on severe experimental cataract in diabetic rats.

We examined the effects of Ca(2+)-channel blockers on sugar cataract formation in streptozotocin (65 mg/kg, i.v.)-induced diabetic rats that were given 5% D-glucose as drinking water.

A novel high resolution in vivo digital imaging system for the evaluation of experimental cataract in diabetic rats.

The purpose of this study was to establish a novel imaging system for evaluation of cataract in small animals. Diabetic cataract was induced in male Wistar rats by a combination of a bolus injection of streptozotocin (65 mg/kg, i.v.
