    In this study, we examined vascular endothelium function using diabetes model animals and questionnaire on factors of going for a medical checkup for women to clarify the mechanism of vascular endothelium dysfunction mediated by sex difference. In diabetes model female rats, post-occlusive hind limb reactive hyperemia index was decreased as compared with control rats at early stage. As the result of the questionnaire, many women were under stress. It was suggested that especially child rearing and economic factors prevent women from going for a medical checkup.

    In this study, we examined the mechanism of vascular dysfunction mediated by postprandial hyperglycemia and the effects of new antidiabetes agent, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor using model animals and patient's data. Onset of atherosclerotic disease in diabetic patients was depend on circadian rhythm of blood glucose. Protein kinase C delta was decreased and reactive oxygen species via eNOS uncoupling was increased in the vascular wall of postprandial hyperglycemia model animals. Chronic administration of DPP-4 inhibitor suppresses postprandial hyperglycemia and decreased reactive oxygen species production.

    People with diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance need to reduce blood glucose level immediately after eating. A walking for about 1 hour after eating is effective to reduce blood glucose level. However, it is difficult for most of full time workers to have time for such a walking every day. This study clarified that a short bout of stair climbing-descending exercise with a flight of stairs with about 20 steps effectively reduce blood glucose level without a feeling of fatigue. In addition, this study suggested that an exercise intervention for a certain period of time with the stair climbing-descending exercise leads to an improvement of glucose torelance.
