Acetylcholinesterase activity in the brain of alloxan diabetic albino rats: Presence of an inhibitor of this enzyme activity in the cerebral extractEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The impairment in the glycemic control is the basic mechanism causing inhibition of neuronal activity. Cerebral extract from alloxan diabetic rats significantly inhibited the brain AChE activity of normal animals, indicating the presence of an inhibiting factor in the cerebrum of diabetic rats. Cichorium intybus when fed for 10 days offered neuroprotection by stimulating AChE activity. (Source: International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries)

Effect of Ramadan fasting on anthropometric parameters and food consumption in 276 type 2 diabetic obese womenEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions : Fasting during the month of Ramadan causes weight loss and decrease in calorie intake, which is correlated with a decrease in meal frequency. However, more foods rich in fat and dietary cholesterol were consumed during this period. The latter could constitute a high risk for diabetics who are fasting, in particular when medication advice and/or health care control are insufficient or ignored.
