Aim: The present study investigated the effect of acarbose on insulin requirements and glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes receiving exogenous insulin due to secondary failure of maximum dose sulphonylurea therapy.

Aim: In the diabetic state, energy must be supplied mainly by amino acids and fat; therefore the metabolic processes are very similar to those of animals fed a high‐protein diet. Vitamin B6‐dependent enzymes, which are highly involved in amino acid metabolism, are important in diabetics. We investigated vitamin B6 content, and aspartate aminotransferase and glycogen phosphorylase activities, in several tissues of streptozotocin‐induced diabetic and control rats.

Aim: To assess the effect of oral antihyperglycaemic therapy on fasting proinsulin and the relation between proinsulin levels and cardiovascular risk factors in type 2 diabetes.

Aim: The effects of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on appetite and weight in the Zucker rat have been examined by many investigators who have reported appetite suppression and metabolic effects. However, these studies compared the treated animals to controls of a similar age. Since animals of different sizes consume different amounts of food, perhaps the treated animals should be compared to controls of a similar size. We studied the effects of DHEA on energy intake and weight gain and analysed the effects by age and metabolic body size.

Aim: Leptin levels in the overweight and differences between men and women may be confounded by sex hormones in obesity‐related type 2 diabetes. We carried out a study of leptin and testosterone and the effect of diabetes on this relationship in 71 Chinese subjects (51 with type 2 diabetes and 20 healthy non‐diabetics) of whom 32 were overweight (body mass index (b.m.i.) > 25.0 kg/m2).
