Diabetes: The Evolution of a New Paradigm
(East Carolina University, 2004-01) -
EphA2-receptor deficiency exacerbates myocardial infarction and reduces survival in hyperglycemic mice
(2014-08)Background We have previously shown that EphrinA1/EphA expression profile changes in response to myocardial infarction (MI), exogenous EphrinA1-Fc administration following MI positively influences wound healing, and ... -
Glycemic Control Patterns and Kidney Disease Progression among Primary Care Patients with Diabetes Mellitus
(2011-07)Background: Reducing glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) to near or less than 7% in patients with diabetes is associated with diminished microvascular complications, but this level is not consistently achieved. The purpose of ... -
How Sweet It Is: Traditional Sweet Iced Tea and the Diabesity Epidemic.
(2015-01)In this paper we present four cases from our medical practice to increase awareness of the role of sweet tea in obesity and diabetes management. We start with a history of Southern style “sweet tea”, and discuss the ... -
Is type II diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) a surgical disease?
(East Carolina University, 1992-06)Since February 1, 1980, 515 morbidly obese patients have undergone the Greenville gastric bypass (GGB) operation. Of these, 212 (41.2%) were euglycemic, 288 (55.9%) were either diabetic or had glucose intolerance, and ... -
Long-term effect of insulin on glucose transport and insulin binding in cultured adipocytes from normal and obese humans with and without non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
(East Carolina University, 1987-10)We have tested the hypothesis that in vitro exposure of insulin- resistant adipocytes with insulin results in improved insulin action. A primary culture system of adipocytes from obese subjects with ... -
Mechanism for Improved Insulin Sensitivity after Gastric Bypass Surgery
(East Carolina University, 2008-12)Context: Surgical treatments of obesity have been shown to induce rapid and prolonged improvements in insulin sensitivity. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of gastric bypass surgery and the ... -
Mitochondrial H₂O₂ emission and cellular redox state link excess fat intake to insulin resistance in both rodents and humans
(2009-03)High dietary fat intake leads to insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, and this represents a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress have been ... -
Paternal diet and exercise epigenetically program energy expenditure and glucose metabolism in mouse offspring
(East Carolina University, 2014)It is currently estimated that a third of Americans suffer from metabolic syndrome, which is an obesogenic disease shown to increase risk for developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) by five-fold (Diabetes Care, 2012). The ... -
The Short-Term Effect of Weight Loss Surgery on Volumetric Breast Density and Fibroglandular Volume
(2016-10-26)Purpose: Obesity and breast density are both associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and are potentially modifiable. Weight loss surgery (WLS) causes a significant reduction in the amount of body fat and a ... -
Targeting the mitochondrial inner membrane to improve bioenergetics in the diseased heart
(East Carolina University, 2014)Cardiovascular diseases continue to exact unparalleled economic and humanitarian costs across the globe. Manifestations of cardiovascular diseases include acute coronary syndromes and heart failure, both of which are ... -
Who would have thought it? An operation proves to be the most effective therapy for adult-onset diabetes mellitus.
(East Carolina University, 1995-09)OBJECTIVE: This report documents that the gastric bypass operation provides long-term control for obesity and diabetes. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Obesity and diabetes, both notoriously resistant to medical therapy, continue ...
