Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic syndrome and renal sodium handling in three ethnic groups living in England.
Antonio Barbato,Francesco P. Cappuccio,E. J. Folkerd,Pasquale Strazzullo,Barry Sampson,Derek G Cook,K. G. M. M. Alberti +6 more
TL;DR: Increased proximal sodium re-absorption is associated with the metabolic syndrome in white men and women, but this relationship is not seen in people of African or South Asian origin, despite a greater degree of insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of the activity and disposal of semi-synthetic human insulin and porcine insulin in normal man by the glucose clamp technique.
TL;DR: The activity and disposal of this semi-synthetic human insulin are indistinguishable from porcine insulin in normal euglycaemic man.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robert Mswia,Mary Lewanga,Candida Moshiro,David Whiting,Lara J. Wolfson,Yusuf Hemed,K. G. M. M. Alberti,H. M. Kitange,Deo Mtasiwa,Philip W. Setel +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the progress made towards the Safe Motherhood Initiative goals in three areas of the United Republic of Tanzania during the 1990s was examined by sentinel demographic surveillance of more than 77 000 women of reproductive age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forearm Glucose Uptake in Cirrhosis and Its Relationship to Glucose Tolerance
TL;DR: The glucose intolerance of cirrhosis is primarily due to impaired hepatic retention of the glucose load, and insulin resistance in peripheral tissues may also be important since the higher insulin concentrations found in cirrhotic patients failed to enhance peripheral glucose uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variable effects of the APOC3-482C > T variant on insulin, glucose and triglyceride concentrations in different ethnic groups.
Dawn M. Waterworth,Philippa J. Talmud,S.E. Humphries,PD Wicks,G. A. Sagnella,Pasquale Strazzullo,K. G. M. M. Alberti,Derek G Cook,Francesco P. Cappuccio +8 more
TL;DR: Allele frequencies of the –482C > T and associations with insulin, glucose and triglyceride concentrations vary considerably among ethnic groups, and although the results are consistent among white subjects across different studies, the associations among black subjects and South Asians differ.
