Stimulation of glucose utilization in 3T3 adipocytes and rat diaphragm in vitro by the sulphonylureas, glimepiride and glibenclamide, is correlated with modulations of the cAMP regulatory cascade [PDF]
The long-term hypoglycemic activity of sulphonylurea drugs has been attributed, in part at least, to the stimulation of glucose utilization in extra-pancreatic tissues. The novel sulphonylurea, glimepiride, gives rise to a longer lasting reduction in the

Summary Introduction Surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus is associated with increased morbidity and mortality compared with those who do not have diabetes mellitus. This is likely multifactorial and could be attributed to organisational issues; dysglycaemia; hospital‐acquired diabetic ketoacidosis; errors with insulin prescribing and ...

Sexual Safety Signals of Common Antidiabetic Drugs: Insights From FAERS Disproportionality Analysis
ABSTRACT Background Erectile dysfunction is a prevalent and distressing complication of diabetes mellitus that markedly affects quality of life in male patients. Although the role of diabetes in erectile dysfunction is well‐established, potential drug‐induced sexual dysfunction associated with commonly prescribed antidiabetic medications remains ...

Is all hypoglycaemia treated as equal? An observational study of how the type of diabetes and treatment prescribed prior to admission influences quality of treatment of inpatient hypoglycaemia [PDF]
Aims: Inpatient hypoglycaemia is common and associated with adverse outcomes. There is often increased vigilance of hypoglycaemia in inpatients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) compared to type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

Background The activity of CYP2C9, an important drug metabolism enzyme, is subject to the impact of genetic polymorphism. The single nucleotide polymorphism *3 is significantly associated with the increased exposure of CYP2C9 substrates. In addition, metabolic enzyme inhibitors such as fluconazole may also increase the drug exposure of CYP2C9 ...

Opening closed inward rectifier potassium channel doors
Inwardly rectifying potassium (KIR) channels are essential regulators of membrane potential in excitable and non‐excitable tissues. Although KIR channels exhibit a biophysical preference for potassium influx due to voltage‐dependent block of outward current by polyamines and Mg2+, under physiological conditions, they predominantly mediate K+ efflux ...
