    CURRENT RESEARCH IN DIABETES & OBESITY JOURNAL   JUNIPER PUBLISHERS Authored by MSI Tipu Chowdhury Abstract Background:  As a well-established risk factor for coronary heart disease, Metabolic Syndrome was already encountered. But the relationship between Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and independent contribution of Metabolic Syndrome remained unclear. To evaluate the status of metabolic syndrome in Type 2 diabetic population and for their ability to predict Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, in parallel with conventional stroke risk factors, this study was planned. Methods:  A hospital based descriptive observational study was conducted in 100 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who were selected by consecutive random sampling technique. Patients were diagnosed through proper history, clinical examination and necessary investigations. The outcome values were measured in the form of anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, dyslipidemia an...

CURRENT RESEARCH IN DIABETES & OBESITY JOURNAL JUNIPER PUBLISHERS Authored by Fan Fan   Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of progressive degenerative dementia. The hallmark pathological features include beta amyloid deposition and neurofibrillary tangles. There has been astrong association of AD with Diabetes (DM) based on human studies and animal experiments. The hallmark features of AD seem to have an exaggerated presence in AD with DM, especially type 2 diabetes (T2D). In addition, insulin resistance is a common feature in both diseases and as such AD has been called type 3 diabetes. Furthermore, impairment of cerebral autoregulation has been reported in both animal and human diabetic subjects. Cerebral vascular impairment has also been implicated in the pathophysiology of AD. There is an urgent need to develop animal models of AD and DM to explore the neuropathological mechanisms of these disease and utilize...
