The control of diabetes is an interdisciplinary endeavor, which includes a significant
biomedical engineering component, with traditions of success beginning in the early 1960s …

To elucidate the role of adipose tissue glucose uptake in whole-body metabolism, sc and
visceral adipose tissue glucose uptake and perfusion were measured in 10 nonobese and …

We tested the hypothesis that obesity, independent of insulin resistance, is associated with
increased insulin secretion. We compared insulin kinetics before and after glucose ingestion …

Clustering of classical cardiovascular risk factors is insufficient to account for the excess
coronary artery disease (CAD) of patients with diabetes, and chronic hyperglycemia and …

Rosiglitazone, a thiazolidinedione, enhances peripheral insulin sensitivity in patients with
type 2 diabetes. Because the synergic action of insulin and exercise has been shown to be …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise on myocardial glucose
uptake and whether the pattern of glucose uptake is the same as in skeletal muscle. Glucose …

Several models have been proposed to describe the glucose system at whole-body,
organ/tissue and cellular level, designed to measure non-accessible parameters (minimal …

Aims/hypothesis: To determine the lumped constant (LC), which accounts for the differences
in the transport and phosphorylation between [18 F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose ([18 F] FDG) …

Objective To investigate whether alterations in brain glucose uptake (BGU), insulin action in
the brain–liver axis and whole-body insulin sensitivity occur in young adults in pre-obese …

Quantitative 2-[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose ([18F] FDG) positron emission tomography
(PET) has been widely used to calculate glucose utilization in skeletal muscle. FDG-PET …
