Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an endocrine disorder resulting in hyperglycaemia that affects many vital organs of the body like the brain. The molecular mechanisms underlying dementia, memory loss and cognition dysfunction caused by DM are still not very clear. CD47 is a cell surface protein working in the homeostasis of the immune system. The causal relationship of CD47 has been shown in neurodegenerative diseases. CD47 also has a role in pancreatic islet cells and th...

Introduction: The accurate and comprehensive assessment of glycaemic control in pregnant with gestational diabetes (GDM) is important for preventing foetal complications. We aimed to determine glycaemic variation on women with GDM with using a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) and to investigate the relationship between reflecting glucose markers such as HbA1c, fructosamine (FRM), and 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG).Materials and methods: 31 women...

Enormous evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency could be linked to several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, depression and cancer. The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and its correlates to test the hypothesis that vitamin D deficiency was common among adult Turkish population, particularly in women. The Turkish Diabetes, Hypertension, Obesity and Endocrine Disease Survey (TURDEP-II) Jan to J...
