We have previously reported an impaired growth hormone (GH) response and abnormal prolactin release to insulin-hypoglycaemia in obesity. We suggested that obese women with an absent prolactin response to hypoglycaemia ('non-responders') have a disorder of hypothalamic function. We have now
BACKGROUND
Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) demonstrates an increasing prevalence of obesity in Western countries. This study investigates the influence of obesity on the mode of delivery and the occurrence of hypoglycemia in newborns.
METHODS
A retrospective analysis of all deliveries
In the present study insulin and C-peptide responses to oral glucose as well as C-peptide to insulin ratios and relations were evaluated in 10 nondiabetic obese female subjects with reactive hypoglycemia and in 10 age- and weight-matched controls. Insulin levels and incremental areas did not differ
(1). Insulin levels at the moment of glucose-induced reactive hypoglycemia have been compared with zero-hour insulin levels in 108 subjects in whom the blood glucose had decreased to 50 mg percent or less (50 to 31 mg) at the third, fourth, or fifth hour in the course of an oral glucose tolerance
The response of plasma growth hormone (hGH) to a single oral dose of clonidine (0.15 mg/m2) was compared with that obtained with insulin hypoglycemia (ITT) induced by administration of double the usual dose (0.2 U/kg i.v.) in 13 obese subjects aged 5-17 years (7 males, 6 females) with a subscapular
Recent studies suggest that opioid peptides may influence the secretion of pituitary gland hormones. Since obese patients often show impaired growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL) and cortisol responses to stimuli and raised beta endorphin levels, the opioid regulation of such hormone secretion could
The behavior of the secretion of ACTH, GH, and plasma cortisol during the insulin-induced hypoglycemia test on normal and obese children was studied. The secretion of the above-mentioned hormones was determined by calculating the integrals of the curves. The mean values of the integrals of the
The relationship between altered glucose-insulin interaction in the hyperglycemic period of oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT) and impaired posthyperglycemic glucose homeostasis was studied in 9 obese females. They underwent 6-hour oGTT following 72-96 hour total fast, and the results of blood
BACKGROUND
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most performed bariatric operation. Reactive hypoglycaemia is a frequent late complication occurring in about 72% of RYGB patients, which can present with various intensities up to the serious form of neuroglycopaenia. However, it seems to occur also
The study aimed to assess the frequency of hypoglycaemia during the insulin-modified, frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test (FSIVGTT) in overweight Hispanic children. The study included 210 children, mean age=11+/-1.7 years, BMI percentile=97.2+/-2.9 who where enrolled in a
The aim of the present study was to test whether the serotoninergic system may be involved in the well known reduced growth hormone (GH) response to insulin-induced hypoglycaemia (IIH) in obese patients. Ten obese women and 10 normal-weight control women underwent three IIH tests, at 14-day
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis are reported as activated in excess in the morbidly obese state and, therefore, changes after weight loss can be anticipated. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of a massive (approximately 30%) weight
We have studied the effect of insulin hypoglycemia on the secretion of pancreatic polypeptide (PP) in 14 obese subjects with normal glucose tolerance and in 6 normal controls. Infusion of insulin 0.1 U/kg/h in controls and 0.12 U/kg/h in the obese, for one hour, produced a progressive hypoglycemia,
BACKGROUND
Rates of pre-gestational obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are increasing in Australia. While both are established risk factors for neonatal hypoglycaemia, the additive effect of both risks on neonatal hypoglycaemia is not well understood.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the
To determine (1) whether higher maternal body mass index (BMI) and Cesarean (C) Section mode of delivery are associated with neonatal hypoglycemia (NH) and (2) whether timing of NH onset differs by risk factors.Retrospective cohort study (n = 4602) to
