Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights the significant issue of type 2 diabetes in Aboriginal communities, particularly focusing on Ngarrindjeri Country in South Australia, and criticizes the prevalent Western biomedical frameworks that overlook local contexts and strengths.
- - Utilizing a combination of Aboriginal and Western research methods, the study collected qualitative data from 15 participants through yarning sessions, identifying barriers rooted in the impacts of colonization, as well as community strengths that support diabetes care.
- - The findings suggest that despite facing numerous challenges, Aboriginal people in the area possess unique resources and capabilities to combat diabetes, emphasizing the need for health initiatives that respect local knowledge and prioritize community-led, holistic approaches over traditional medical models.
Objectives: This research program involves two phases to identify enablers and barriers to diabetes care for Aboriginal people on Ngarrindjeri country; and co-design a strength-based metabolic syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) remission program with the Ngarrindjeri community.
Study Design: A study protocol on qualitative research.
Methods: The study will recruit Aboriginal people living on Ngarrindjeri country above 18 years of age with a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome or T2D.
Studies were performed in normal dogs (n = 6) and dogs with nonfiltering kidneys (n = 8) to determine the effects of synthetic atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on renin secretion and renal hemodynamics in the presence and absence of a functional macula densa. In normal dogs, intrarenal infusion of ANP (0.3 microgram X kg-1 X min-1) resulted in a decrease in renin secretion from 325.

Studies were designed to determine the effects of synthetic atrial natriuretic peptide on renal function and renin release in this acute high-renin, sodium-retaining preparation. Intrarenal infusion of synthetic atrial natriuretic peptide (0.
