Fraternal twins who had fasting hypoglycemia, hypoketonemia, muscle weakness, and hepatic dysfunction are reported. The hepatic dysfunction occurred only during periods of caloric deprivation. The surviving patient developed a cardiomyopathy. In this sibling, muscle weakness and cardiomyopathy were
BACKGROUND
Growth during childhood is a consequence of the equilibrium of energy balance. Obesity results from a shift of the equilibrium towards increased energy intake over expenditure. A clinical description of extreme leanness and failure to thrive secondary to a shift of the equilibrium towards
BACKGROUND
Dapagliflozin is a selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor that improves glycemic control in patients with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by reducing renal glucose reabsorption.
OBJECTIVE
The aim was to evaluate the lipid effects of dapagliflozin 10 mg or placebo in patients
The G protein G(s)alpha is essential for hormone-stimulated cAMP generation and is an important metabolic regulator. We investigated the role of liver G(s)-signaling pathways by developing mice with liver-specific G(s)alpha deficiency (LGsKO mice). LGsKO mice had increased liver weight and glycogen
The effect of exposure to cold (+2 degrees C, 3 and 24 h) and fasting (1, 2 and 3 days) on placental glycogen and triglyceride content was investigated in rats pregnant for 20 days. The stimuli did not affect the level of glycogen in the placenta. The level of triglycerides remained unchanged in the
Background: Citrin deficiency (CD) is a recessive metabolic disease caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in SLC25A13. Although previous studies have reported ketosis in CD, it was observed at the time of euglycemia or mild
In a single blind randomized study the effects of a 4-week administration of propranolol (160 mg/day) and penbutolol (40 mg/day) on metabolic control and insulin-induced hypoglycemia were tested in 8 non-insulin-dependent diabetics with diastolic blood pressure between 95 and 110 mmHg. The recovery
BACKGROUND
Endocrine defensive mechanisms provide for energy supply during hypoglycemia. Intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) were recently shown to contribute to energy supply during exercise.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to assess the contribution of IMCL compared with lipolysis and
In order to anticipate and promptly treat hypoglycemia in diabetic monkeys treated with insulin or other glucose-lowering drugs, the relationships between the incidence and symptoms of hypoglycemia in these animals, and many factors involved in model development and sustainment were analyzed.
Hypoglycaemia which develops in starved newborn rats (0.15 +/- 0.01 mg/ml) is reversed by feeding medium-chain triglycerides (0.66 +/- 0.05 mg/ml). Despite similar glycaemia (0.71 +/- 0.07 mg/ml) starved newborns infused with glucose (10.7 mg/min/kg) show a 30% higher glucose turnover rate than
Hypoglycemia is a known adverse event following gastric bypass. The incidence of hypoglycemia after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is still under investigation. The aim of our study was to verify the presence of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)-related hypoglycemia after LSG and to identify
OBJECTIVE
Although starvation is associated with high in-hospital mortality, its related cardiac complications are not sufficiently understood. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical course and pathogenesis of cardiac complications in malnourished patients.
METHODS
We reviewed three
