Sleeve Gastrectomy and Its Impact on Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Health: A Cohort Study.

Background: Obesity is a prevalent metabolic disorder that significantly contributes to insulin resistance (IR), type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and metabolic syndrome. Sleeve gastrectomy has emerged as an effective surgical intervention for obesity, with potential benefits on metabolic health. This study investigates the impact of sleeve gastrectomy on serum insulin levels, IR (HOMA-IR), inflammatory markers, C-peptide, kidney function, and various biochemical parameters in diabetic and non-diabetic patients.

Perirenal Adipose Tissue: Clinical Implication and Therapeutic Interventions.

Perirenal adipose tissue (PRAT) has been identified as an important factor in local and general homeostasis of the human body and is especially important in regulating renal and cardiovascular functions. It has also been identified as a crucial risk factor to consider in cardiovascular and renal disorders, malignancies, and various other diseases. Having a concrete idea of the effects of therapeutic interventions on the size and metabolism of the PRAT could prove highly beneficial.

Metabolic responses, PPAR-γ and TNF-α gene expression in type2 diabetic rats subsequent vanadyl sulfate treatment.

Vanadyl sulfate (VS), is a component of some food supplements and experimental drugs. This study was carried out to present a novel method for induction of Type 2 diabetes in rats, then for the first time in literature, for evaluating the effect of VS on metabolic parameters and gene expression, simultaneously. 40 male wistar rats were distributed between the four groups, equally.

Economic burden of diabetic foot ulcer: a case of Iran.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is known as a serious complication of diabetes mellitus in patients with diabetes, imposing heavy medical costs on healthcare systems due to its chronic nature. patients with severe diabetic foot ulcer are often disabled to work, and some of them may even die, leading to associated productivity losses. Since no previous study has investigated the economic burden of DFU in Iran, this study is to estimate the economic burden of diabetic foot disease in Iran.

Surgical complications of bariatric surgery among patients with rheumatic diseases.

Background: Obesity is one the most prevalent diseases all around the world. Some studies have shown a relationship between obesity and the worsening of rheumatic disorders. Higher rates of surgical complications might also be seen among these patients.
