Plasma glucose and serum insulin during OGTT were measured in 33 patients with essential hypertension, 17 patients with simple obesity, 19 patients with acromegaly and 10 normal adults. Compared with control, serum insulin concentration increased in 33 patients with essential hypertension at 3 hour
The early response of plasma insulin (IRI) to successive intravenous doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg of tolbutamide was studied in nondiabetic obese subjects, in acromegalic patients, and in healthy controls. The smallest dose raised the plasma IRI level within two minutes in all subjects. The insulin
As previously shown, in essential hypertension postprandial plasma insulin concentrations are elevated. In order to determine a relationship of high blood pressure and plasma insulin levels in acromegaly and in obesity 59 subjects with normal glucose tolerance were studied. They were divided into
Insulin binding studies performed in erythrocytes (RBC) have been employed in clinical studies assessing the status of insulin receptors at target cell tissues. However, some authors challenged this assumption on the basis of some discrepancies described in comparative studies of other cell types,
Endogenous factors cross-reacting with antidigoxin antibodies have been found in several tissues and body fluids of animals and humans, using commercially available digoxin radioimmunoassay or enzyme immunoassay methods. The chemical characteristics of these endogenous factors are, at present,
BACKGROUND
In patients with acromegaly, sleep apnea-related hypoxemia results in considerable morbidity and mortality.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the relative weight of pathogenic factors in predicting such hypoxemia.
METHODS
In this cross-sectional study, 34 acromegaly patients were submitted to
OBJECTIVE
Adiponectin (ApN) is an adipocytokine expressed in human adipose cells with anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory properties that plays a role in the pathophysiology of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and coronary artery disease. The aim of the study was to evaluate ApN secretion
OBJECTIVE
Fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) is a member of fibroblast growth factor family. Both growth hormone (GH) and FGF-21 take place in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. We aimed to investigate FGF-21 levels in acromegaly which is characterized by excess GH levels and is
