Does moderate-intensity exercise training elevate serum and pancreatic zinc levels and pancreatic ZnT8 expression in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats?
The ability of moderate exercise training to ameliorate the reductions in serum and pancreatic zinc levels and pancreatic ZnT8 expression can partly explain the beneficial effects of exercise training in diabetes.
The 4G allele of the 4G/5G polymorphism in the PAI-1 gene is associated with fewer ventilator-free days and increased mortality in hospitalized patients with severe pneumonia. These findings suggest that PAI-1 may have a role in pathogenesis and that the 4G/5G polymorphism may be an important biomarker of risk in patients with severe pneumonia.
