It is always a matter of controversy whether the formulations use to enhance learning and memory produce placebo or real effects.

The prevalence of thyroid disease in patients with diabetes is significantly higher than that in the general population.This indicates a possible interplay between thyroid status and insulin sensitivity. Complex interplay between thyroid function and insulin resistance (IR) has been implicated in diabetic dyslipidemia. Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) of -cell function and IR is a method for assessing -cell function and IR from basal glucose and insulin or C-peptide concentrations. The use of HOMA to estimate insulin sensitivity and -cell function helps to compare -cell function and...
