Psychological Stress and Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Relationship | Chapter 24 | Socio-Scientific Interaction in Diabetes and Cancer and Its Management

 Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease that occurs due to circulating blood glucose levels being too high. But it also occurs due to psychological issues, consumption of a high calorie diet and sedentary lifestyle. Diabetes is a long-lasting chronic metabolic disorder; it has established psychobiological relationships. Diabetes has much more effects on the human body and also the mind. This review article shows the relationship between   psychological stress and type-2 diabetes mellitus. Psychological stress affects the behaviors of people living with type-2 diabetes. Type-2 diabetes is caused due to stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia. These risk factors are associated with qualitative and quantitative defects in insulin secretion. Morbidity diabetic patients want passive euthanasia (legalized in Indian Supreme Court in 2018, India), for last resort. It is important to understand that the individuals who are suffering from diabetes mellitus, must have any psychological issue. It can't be denied that there is a possible correlation between psychological stress and diabetes mellitus.

Experimental Evaluation of the Effect of Chloroform Inhalation as a Method of Euthanasia on the Cerebellum and Hippocampus of Adult Wistar Rats | Chapter 9 | Technological Innovation in Pharmaceutical Research Vol. 4

 In Nigeria, chloroform inhalation is a frequent method of rodent killing for study. The purpose of this study is to see how this form of sacrifice affects the cerebellum and hippocampus of Wistar rats. Twenty male Wistar rats, weighing 160 to 180 grammes, were separated into four groups, each with five rats. The control group, Group A, was sacrificed by cervical dislocation (a widely acceptable non-inhalation method of sacrifice). Groups B, C, and D were given 5 minutes of chloroform once a day (group B), twice a day for two days, and three times a day for three days. Four brains from each group were processed for antioxidant assays, and one brain from each group was preserved in Bouin's fluid for histological examinations. Our findings reveal that inhaling chloroform had a dose-dependent negative impact on the antioxidant parameters investigated. That is, as the number of days increased, the negative effect became more pronounced. The histology findings confirmed this, with indications of cell necrosis in the cerebellum and hippocampus regions. This, too, demonstrated dosage dependence. As a result of our findings, we believe that chloroform inhalation is not the method of choice for rat death while investigating brain tissues or conducting brain-related research. As a result, chloroform sedation is not an appropriate method of rat sacrifice for experimental reasons, especially for investigating the rat brain.
