Products from the advanced Maillard reaction, which increase during aging and diabetes, may contribute to the development of the typical pathology of aging and diabetes. These compounds are detectable only by their characteristic fluorescence, and few data based on long-term studies are available. For this reason, we studied subcutaneous skin...

A Digital Signal Processor (DSP)-based instrument is proposed for estimating and displaying the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) spectrum in real-time. It consists of an intelligent module which is properly interfaced to an IBM PC and whose operations are independent from the computer's other tasks. In this way, the simultaneous recording of the...

Alterations in water compartments have been described in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Both insulin and lack of natriuretic counteracting response lead to water expansion, while hyperglycemica-induced osmotic diuresis leads to water depletion. Both total body water and water distribution in the extra-intracellular space, as well...

The relationship between plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) and metabolic parameters in type I and II diabetic subjects have been studied at different levels of glycemic control. In 67 diabetics (20 type I, 47 type II, aged 53 ± 1.2) and 40 healthy subjects (aged 47 ± 1.75), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (CT) and C-HDL, fasting blood glucose...

The limited availability of human pancreas represents a serious problem in islet transplantation. In the past few years many efforts have been made to isolate pancreatic islets from large mammals in order to achieve valid and reproducible isolation methods. For several reasons swine may be considered an ideal source of islet tissue because of...
