Proglycem - Proglycem Side Effects - Proglycem Information - Canada Pharmacy - Canada Drugs Diazoxide, a benzothiadiazine derivative, when administered orally produces a prompt dose-related increase in blood glucose level, due primarily to an inhibition of insulin release from the pancreas and also to an extrapancreatic effect. Diazoxide decreases the excretion of sodium and water, resulting in fluid retention which may be clinically significant. The effects of diazoxide on the hematopoietic system and the level of serum uric acid should be kept in mind; the latter should be considered particularly in patients with hyperuricemia or a history of gout. www.rxcarecanada.com /Proglycem.asp   (1828 words)

Diabetes: Overstimulation and [Beta]-Cell Function   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04) Because the levels of hyperglycemia were kept similar with or without diazoxide, it was concluded that the desensitizing effect was due to overstimulation of the [Beta]-cells rather than to effects of hyperglycemia per se. Our experiments showed, however, that the protective effects of diazoxide were only indirectly related to the action of the drug on [K.sup.+]-ATP channels, since the drug was not protective against desensitization induced by stimulation with high concentrations of potassium, which depolarize the cell membrane by mechanisms not involving the [K.sup.+]-ATP channel (3). Diazoxide treatment for 8 weeks improved transplant function not only during but also after cessation of the treatment, implying that overstimulation had permanently damaged the transplanted [Beta]-cells in control animals. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0922/is_2_50/ai_71185868   (1333 words)

Diazoxide   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04) Diazoxide inhibits the release of insulin from the pancreas and thus helps to prevent blood glucose from falling to low levels. Long-term side effects of diazoxide may include stiffening of limbs; shaking and trembling of hands and fingers; increased hair growth on forehead, back, arms, and legs. A diuretic may be prescribed to counteract the edema, but the combination of diazoxide with a thiazide diuretic may further raise blood glucose levels. www.wholehealthmd.com /print/view/1,1560,DR_186,00.html   (656 words)

Diazoxide (Oral) Diazoxide (dye-az-OX-ide) when taken by mouth is used in the treatment of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). However, too much use of diazoxide during pregnancy may cause unwanted effects (high blood sugar, loss of hair or increased hair growth, blood problems) in the baby. Studies in animals have shown that diazoxide causes some birth defects (in the skeleton, heart, and pancreas) and other problems (delayed birth, decrease in successful pregnancies). allnutritionals.com /drugs/d/diazoxide-oral.shtml   (1381 words)

[No title] All of the arteriolar vasodilators (minoxidil, hydralazine, and diazoxide) produce significant water and salt retention, secondary to decreased renal perfusion pressure and alpha adrenergic receptor activation. Diazoxide is appropriate for blood pressure control in hypertensive crisis. Diazoxide and minoxidil are arteriolar vasodilators and as such would reduce afterload. www.kumc.edu /research/medicine/pharmacology/CAI/webCAI/blk2/cvr1.wbc   (3929 words)

British Journal of Pharmacology - The KATP channel opener diazoxide protects cardiac myocytes during metabolic ... Diazoxide was, however, able to protect cells against the hypercontracture that is normally consequent on metabolic inhibition followed by its removal in isolated cardiac myocytes. We conclude that diazoxide, at concentrations that are protective against the effects of metabolic inhibition, did not cause substantial flavoprotein oxidation in rat ventricular myocytes. Such a protective effect is in agreement with the reported effect of diazoxide in protecting intact rat hearts subjected to ischaemia and reperfusion as measured by improved recovery of function and reduced infarct size ( Garlid et al., 1997 ; Fryer et al., 2000). www.nature.com /bjp/journal/v134/n3/full/0704289a.html   (4617 words)

ATP-sensitive K+ channel openers prevent Ca2+ overload in rat cardiac mitochondria -- Holmuhamedov et al. 519 (2): 347 ... In isolated cardiac mitochondria, diazoxide and pinacidil decreased the rate and magnitude of Ca uptake into the mitochondrial matrix with an IC of 65 and 128 µM, respectively. Diazoxide and pinacidil were from RBI or Sigma. The IC for the inhibitory effect of diazoxide was estimated at 65 µM ( Fig. jp.physoc.org /cgi/content/full/519/2/347   (7418 words)

NetDoctor.co.uk - Information about drugs for Patients   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04) Diazoxide is used for the treatment of people with chronic low blood sugar levels (hypoglycaemia) who have severe symptoms and whom have not been successfully treated with other medicines or surgical procedures. Diazoxide when given with clomethiazole in pregnant women during labour, may cause a significant reduction in the respiratory system function of their babies at birth or shortly afterwards. Diazoxide when given in combination with phenytoin, appears to cause a significant reduction in the levels of phenytoin and possibly the levels of diazoxide in the blood. www.netdoctor.co.uk /medicines/showpreparation.asp?id=979   (790 words)

Anneli Björklund: Doktorsavhandling från Karolinska Institutet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04) If insulin secretion was blocked by diazoxide in the presence of high glucose, the subsequent insulin response to glucose was restituted, indicating that overstimulation was an important factor behind the impairment. The after-effect of diazoxide was not present after low glucose culture and not tightly coupled to its interaction with K Omitting Ca during cooling completely mimicked the effect of diazoxide indicating that diazoxide acts on both the level of Ca inflow and exocytosis. diss.kib.ki.se /1999/91-628-3943-8   (421 words)

The effects of ischaemic preconditioning, diazoxide and 5-hydroxydecanoate on rat heart mitochondrial volume and ... channel opener, diazoxide caused the matrix volume to increase to a similar extent to IPC in both pre-ischaemic and end ischaemic hearts as indicated by the dotted arrows in Fig. In contrast to IPC, diazoxide treatment of hearts led to a decrease in respiratory chain activity despite an increase in matrix volume ( Fig. This is reflected in the properties of the mitochondria isolated from such hearts which demonstrate an inhibition of ascorbate oxidation that is suggestive of mitochondrial outer membrane rupture and cytochrome c loss (Table 3). jp.physoc.org /cgi/content/full/545/3/961   (6733 words)

NMDA induced dose-dependent vasodilation that was unaffected 1 hour after topical application of diazoxide for 10 minutes (n=4). Pretreatment with 1 µmol/L diazoxide (diaz) did not affect the reduction in NMDA-induced vascular dilation by I/R. In contrast, pretreatment with 5 or 10 µmol/L diazoxide resulted in preserved vascular responses; the changes in pial arteriolar diameters were not significantly different compared with preischemic values. Note the dose-dependent preservation of vascular responses in the diazoxide-treated groups; at 10 µmol/L diazoxide the vascular response was virtually identical to preischemic value. stroke.ahajournals.org /cgi/content/full/30/12/2713   (4149 words)
