Association of serum lipids with level of blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients.

Introduction: Dyslipidemia and high blood pressure in diabetic patients increase the risk of microvascular and macrovascular complications.

Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the association between serum lipids and level of blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients (T2D).

Patients And Methods: A prospective analytical study was carried out in 60 patients with T2D of both genders.

Efficacy of supplementary vitamin D on improvement of glycemic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus; a randomized double blind clinical trial.

Introduction: Studies have revealed the association between vitamin D deficiency and changes in blood glucose and insulin levels as well as sensitivity of the target tissues to insulin.

Objective: In this study, we examined the effect of adding vitamin D (cholecalciferol ; 50,000 units) to therapeutic regimen of T2DM patients compared to placebo on regulating the blood glucose and glycemic parameters.

Patients And Methods: This study was a double blind clinical trial conducted on 60 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.

Association of serum uric acid with level of blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients.

This study was conducted to investigate the association between serum uric acid level and blood pressure in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sixty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled to the study. None of the patients had a history of gout, were treated with allopurinol, or were treated with antihypertensive drugs previously.

Impact of oral vitamin D (cholecalciferol) replacement therapy on blood pressure in type 2 diabetes patients; a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial.

Background: Vitamin D is an important mediator of calcium metabolism. It has also been implicated as a potential contributor to the pathophysiology of various extra-skeletal conditions, consisting hypertension, renal disease, and insulin resistance.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to determine whether oral vitamin D (cholecalciferol) supplementation can lead to improvement of blood pressure in type 2 diabetes patients.

Association of serum calcium with level of blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients.

Introduction: Hypertension and diabetes are two common diseases and they affect the same major target organs.

Objectives: In this study, we sought to investigate the probable association of serum calcium with levels of systolic and blood pressure in a group of type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients.

Patients And Methods: A total of 60 patients with T2D were enrolled to the study.

Association of serum uric acid with proteinuria in type 2 diabetic patients.

Background: Various findings suggest that uric acid is an inflammatory factor and may have a role in endothelial dysfunction and act as a mediator of diabetic nephropathy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationships between serum uric acid level and level of proteinuria in type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in 60 patients with T2D without a history of gout.

Effect of Salvia officinalis on diabetic patients.

Introduction: Herbs are rich sources of natural antioxidants, and are used in traditional medicine for the control and treatment of many diseases. The reducing effect of a large number of these plants on blood glucose has been approved in animal models and clinical studies.

Objectives: This study was therefore, performed to investigate the hypoglycemic effect of Salvia officinalis on blood glucose, Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid profile, liver and kidney function tests.

Association of body mass index and serum vitamin D level in healthy Iranian adolescents.

Introduction: In studies of obese adolescents in various countries, vitamin D deficiency has been correlated with greater weight and elevated BMI. However, there is insufficient data on the relation between vitamin D status and body fat indexes in adolescence. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of serum (25[OH]D) concentrations with body mass index of healthy Iranian subjects to understand whether specific data on the relation between vitamin D status and body mass index is common in all populations.

Serum cholesterol and LDL-C in association with level of diastolic blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients.

Introduction: Elevated cholesterol and blood pressure are major risk factors for the development diabetic kidney disease. Possible interactions between these two parameters have not been studied in detail.

Objectives: This investigation aims to study the values of blood serum cholesterol, blood pressure and possible correlations between them, in a group of type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients.
