The thyroid is one of the metabolism regulating glands. Its function is to determine the amount of calories that the body has to burn to maintain normal weight. Thyroiditides are inflammatory processes that mainly result in autoimmune diseases. We have conducted the present study in order to have a
OBJECTIVE
Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) represents a wide-spread autoimmune disease. In euthyroid patients with HT, an impaired assimilation of common carbohydrates has been observed. Our objectives were to compare the frequency of (1) fructose (FM), lactose (LM) and sorbitol malassimilation (SM),
Carbohydrate metabolism was studied in nine patients with subacute thyroiditis before treatment and after recovery. The mean fasting free fatty acid level before treatment was significantly higher than that after the recovery, although the mean fasting blood glucose and insulin levels were not
BACKGROUND
Chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, also known as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, is the most frequent type of thyroiditis. An average of 2% of the population have the disease. It occurs in all age groups, also in children. The main cause of the disease are autoimmune disorders, which results in
We studied the oligosaccharide moieties of recombinant human thyroid peroxidase (hTPO) expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, and the role of these glycans in hTPO antigenicity in Hashimoto's thyroiditis. To determine whether hTPO carbohydrate moieties were N-linked, O-linked, or both, and
Glucose tolerance tests were carried out on fifty patients with autoimmune thyroiditis of varying duration and severity. Two were floridly diabetic, and a further six showed diabetic abnormalities of glucose tolerance, giving an over-all incidence of 16 per cent. Diabetics were significantly older
Twenty-one patients were seen with the diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis in the Endocrine Clinic during 1965-1972. Three patients developed clinical diabetes mellitus at intervals from one month to three years after the diagnosis of thyroiditis was confirmed. An additional patient, a
Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a glycosphingolipid of the Lewis blood group that for years has been proposed as a useful marker for epithelial type gastrointestinal cancers. It is well known that moderately increased concentrations of CA 19-9 can be found in 15-36 % of patients with benign
Tumour markers are widely used in clinical practice. Elevated tumour markers can be observed in both malignant and benign conditions. Therefore, it is important for clinicians to be aware of the association of tumour markers with various disorders so that unnecessary investigations can be avoided
Cell adhesion to endothelium regulates the trafficking and recruitment of leukocytes towards lymphoid organs and sites of inflammation. This phenomenon is mediated by the expression of a number of adhesion molecules on both the endothelium and circulating cells. Activation of endothelial cells (EC)
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the management strategies, glycemic control and complications of pediatric type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients in Turkey.
METHODS
Study included 498 patients with T1DM between the ages 1-18. Data provided from patients' hospital files were recorded on standard case report
Overweight and diseases connected with it are increasing problems in children and adults. We often observe change of weight in thyroid disease. It is emphasized that changes in hormones such as peptide levels are in close relationship with regulation of body mass: ghrelin increases appetite and in
Presence of antithyroid autoantibodies (ThyAb) during pregnancy is strictly related to the risk of developing post partum thyroiditis (PPT) and this risk is increased in IDDM pregnant women. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as carbohydrate intolerance of variable severity that begins,
Effect of T3 therapy on tanned red cell agglutinating thyroglobulin (TRC-TG) antibodies in 10 obese subjects without apparent thyroid disease was investigated. Six other obese subjects without thyroid dysfunction and of approximately the same mean age who also had circulating TRC-TG antibodies
Septic shock is a leading cause of death, and it results from an inflammatory cascade triggered by the presence of microbial products in the blood. Certain LPS from Gram-negative bacteria are very potent inducers and are responsible for a high percentage of septic shock cases. Despite decades of
