Daily intake of 8.0 g per day of fructo-oligosaccharides for fourteen days significantly reduced
mean fasting blood glucose levels by 15 mg/dl, mean serum total cholesterol levels by 19 …

Background. Microalbuminuria is widely accepted as the first clinical sign of diabetic nephropathy.
However, normoalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients who have renal insufficiency (RI), …

To search for a gene(s) conferring susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy (DN), we genotyped
over 80,000 gene-based single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Japanese patients …

1. The lipid compositions of the two different regions of the plasma membrane of mouse
intestinal epithelial cells ie, microvillus membranes and basolateral membranes, were analysed. …

The number of diabetic patients has been increasing in Japan and consequently diabetic
complications are the most important target to be prevented through improving glycemic control…

To determine whether gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) promotes the clearance of
chylomicron triglycerides (TG) from the circulation in dogs, chyle collected from donor dogs via a …

A planar floating-gate NAND technology has previously realized a 0.87Gb/mm2 memory
density using 3b/cell [1] and achieved a minimum feature size for 16nm [2]. However, the …

Recently, it has been demonstrated that glucagon- like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-(7-37) possesses
a potent insulinotropic activity. In this paper, we compared the effects of GLPl-( l-37) and -(7-…

It has been suggested that genetic susceptibility plays an important role in the pathogenesis
of diabetic nephropathy. A large-scale genotyping analysis of gene-based single nucleotide …

Truncated glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) possesses a potent stimulatory activity for insulin
secretion and a slight inhibiting activity for glucagon secretion. The aim of this paper is to …
