Sivak, J. , Storr, K. C., Carlson, J. C., Bell, R. C., Herbert, K.
We examined the effects of high-fructose (FR) feeding on the development of diabetic complications in the lens and the kidney of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats. Male Wistar Furth rats were treated with one of two doses of STZ (HIGH STZ, 55 mg/kg body weight; MOD STZ, 35 mg/kg body weight) or...

Impaired de novo choline synthesis explains why phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase-deficient mice are protected from diet-induced obesity
Download2010
Kuo, Ming-Shang, Dyck, Jason R. B., Sletten, Torunn, Proctor, Spencer D., Jacobs, René L., Lingrell, Susanne, Cao, Guoqing, Peake, David A., Kennedy, Brian P., Zhao, Yang, Vance, Dennis E., Koonen, Debby P. Y., Su, Brian
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is synthesized from choline via the CDP-choline pathway. Liver cells can also synthesize PC via the sequential methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine, catalyzed by phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT). The current study investigates whether or not hepatic...

Influenza Vaccination in Patients with Diabetes: Exploration of the Healthy User in Pharmacoepidemiology Studies
DownloadFall 2015
Pharmacoepidemiologic studies of preventive medications or therapies are prone to the healthy user bias, as patients who are prescribed and adhere to preventive medications/therapies are likely different than patients not receiving these medications in multiple aspects of their lives. These...

Fall 2020
2-aminoadipic acid (2-AAA) has been identified as an accurate long-term biomarker for the future development of diabetes. An investigation of over 2000 patients found that patients in the upper quartile of initial blood 2-AAA levels showed a 2-4x higher incidence of diabetes development over the...
