Quantitative vibration perception threshold in assessing diabetic neuropathy: is the cut-off value lower for Indian subjects?
It was found that lowering the cut off value of VPT in Indian population increased the sensitivity of the test to detect diabetic neuropathy without hampering the specificity. There is however no indication that a lower cut off VPT value is justified as of now.
Exogenous ghrelin administration decreased blood glucose levels after 90% pancreatectomy by increasing islet cell numbers and enhancing endocrine and exocrine regeneration.
