The Editors invite investigators to submit short communications of potential interest to the readers of the Journal for this new department which begins in the current issue.They may cover any aspect of the subject matter of diabetes: clinical notes, observations on therapeutic agents, sociomedical problems, or unusual clinical experiences.Communications should not exceed 1,000 words except in unusual circumstances. Figures and tables should be limited to one of each, and references should be ten to twenty in number.These communications should not be used to establish priority of observation for work in progress, or for work that is intended for publication in extenso, within the near future.If this department proves useful by attracting well-written, short papers dealing with findings of interest to most of our readers, it will become a regular feature. Its success will depend upon the quality of the contributions offered.
SUMMARYThe effect of sulfonylurea compounds on the plasma triglycerides was tested in eighteen adult diabetics. Sulfonylurea caused a mean reduction in plasma triglyceride of 19 mg. per cent. The magnitude of the reduction did not correlate with the hypoglycemic effect. The reduction in triglyceride was apparent in spite of weight gain in some subjects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
