  Glima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Certain evidence of glima dates back to the 12th century but some descriptions of wrestling in the Icelandic sagas and the Younger Edda makes it reasonable to believe that the system is much older.
Surrounding glima is a code of honour called Drängskap that calls for fairness, respect for and caring about the security of one's training partners.
In this style of glima, if a wrestler is thrown he may attempt to land on his feet and his hands and if he succeeds in doing so he has not lost the fall.

 Glima
Glima, in theory, in practice, and in general kinetics, is distinct from any extant form of wrestling.
The central object of glima is to off-balance the opponent (using a swing, jerk, lift, or pull with the hands on the glimubelti), apply a foot, leg, or hip technique, and then swiftly, but gracefully, throw the opponent to the floor.
In contemporary glima, with the exception of those wrestlers younger than 17 years, all competition is done on wooden floors such as those common in most gymnasiums.

 Diabetes Care: Autoantibodies to a 38-kDa Glycosylated Islet C... @ HighBeam Research
GLIMA antibodies were determined by immunoprecipitation of radio labeled islet cell proteins; islet cell antibodies (ICAs) were determined by indirect immunofluorescence; and insulin autoantibodies (IAAs), insulinoma-associated protein-2 antibodies (IA-2As), and GAD antibodies (GADAs) were determined by radioligand assays.
For the GLIMA antibody assay, we prepared Triton X-114 (TX-114) extracts of a subculture of RIN 5AH cells that were shown to have undetectable levels of GAD [9] and IA-2 by immunoprecipitation and Western blotting.
GLIMA antibodies were detected in 38 of 100 recent-onset type 1 diabetic patients (38%) but in none of the 100 nondiabetic control subjects (0%) (P [less than] 0.001 vs. control subjects).
