Needless to say, the new quarter holds endless potential for storm and stress. government is at risk of defaulting on its debt an occurrence experts say could send shockwaves through the global economy.

In mid-August, the Eurozone’s GDP grew by 1.1 percent annualized. The ensuing cash crunch created concern China’s economy might be in trouble. Shibor was about 2.5 percent early in 2013. As curtains opened on the third quarter, the world saw Chinese banks staggering as the Shanghai Interbank Offered Rate (Shibor), China’s benchmark interest rate for an overnight bank lending, exceeded 25 percent. Shibor Shock startled investors. During the second quarter, China’s GDP grew at the slowest pace in more than two decades. The most spectacular performance may have been delivered by the Indian rupee which went from being Asia’s worst performing currency to one of the world’s best in just five days. dollar early in the quarter some regained it as the quarter progressed.

Based on our study and published data, a putative pathogenic pathway was suggested: LPL enzyme deficiency causes elevated plasma triglyceride level and subsequent insulin resistance both increased free fatty acids and insulin resistance promote gluconeogenesis and hyperglycaemia, a vicious circle leading to type 2 diabetes. These results indicated that the four missense mutations lead to LPL deficiency and subsequent hypertriglyceridemia. The modeled structures displayed major differences between the mutant and wildtype molecules. They led to reduced LPL mass and enzyme activities in both post-heparin plasma and in vitro expression. The four missense mutations were located in the highly conserved exon 3, 5, and 6 regions and in highly conserved amino acid sites. Ser447Ter was found in both patients and controls with no significant difference in frequency. Ten mutations were identified: four missense mutations, Ala71Thr, Val181Ile, Gly188Glu and Glu242Lys one nonsense mutation Ser447Ter and five silent mutations. To investigate the role of the LPL gene in Chinese patients with hypertriglyceridemic type 2 diabetes, 277 patients with type 2 diabetes and 241 healthy control subjects were recruited and screened for sequence changes in the LPL gene by PCR, SSCP, restriction analysis and direct DNA sequencing. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a rate-determining enzyme in lipid metabolism.
Elevated plasma triglyceride and nonesterified fatty acid concentrations may cause insulin resistance.
