Comparison of changes in testosterone concentrations after strength and endurance exercise in well trained men
Changes in the testosterone concentrations after single sessions of endurance and strength training were measured in seven well trained men, experienced in both forms of training. Both training sessions were r...

Do Lipophilic Anions Affect the Spatial Organization of the ATP Binding Site of the Na+/K+-ATPase?
It has been shown that the fluorescence of eosin is increased upon its binding to the substrate site of Na+/K+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.37) (3,8). Studying the effect of lipophilic ions on Na/K-ATPase we observed that th...

Standard Strip** versus Long Saphenous Vein-Saving Surgery for Primary Varicose Veins — A Prospective, Randomized Study with the Patients as Their Own Controls
The question whether long saphenous vein saving surgery can offer as good long-term results as standard strip** for long saphenous vein insufficiency is still unanswered. The matter is of clinical importance...

Glucocorticoid-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscles: defects in insulin signalling and the effects of a selective glycogen synthase kinase-3 inhibitor
Treatment with glucocorticoids, especially at high doses, induces insulin resistance. The aims of the present study were to identify the potential defects in insulin signalling that contribute to dexamethasone...

Leukaemia inhibitory factor stimulates glucose transport in isolated cardiomyocytes and induces insulin resistance after chronic exposure
Hypertrophic and failing hearts have increased utilisation of glucose, but also develop insulin resistance and reduced ability to produce ATP. Increased levels of the IL-6-related cytokine leukaemia inhibitory...

Global myocardial perfusion and diastolic function are impaired to a similar extent in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and in patients with coronary artery disease—evaluation by contrast echocardiography and pulsed tissue Doppler
Using modern echocardiography, we quantified the extent of global myocardial function and perfusion abnormalities in patients with type 2 diabetes and compared this with the hypothetically similar extent of im...

Atypical antipsychotic drugs induce derangements in glucose homeostasis by acutely increasing glucagon secretion and hepatic glucose output in the rat
Use of the second-generation antipsychotic drugs (SGAs) results in the development of obesity and a type 2 diabetes-like syndrome. We hypothesised that, in addition to the insulin resistance associated with th...

Pancreatic islet and progenitor cell surface markers with cell sorting potential
The aim of the study was to identify surface bio-markers and corresponding antibody tools that can be used for the imaging and immunoisolation of the pancreatic beta cell and its progenitors. This may prove es...
