acanthosis nigricans/potassium

This study was designed to determine the forearm exchange of glucose and potassium in four members of a family exhibiting acanthosis nigricans and insulin resistance. Total areas under the curves for potassium release or uptake were within the normal range in all patients. Peripheral glucose uptake,

The effects of insulin on in vivo glucose use and potassium uptake in healthy humans are well documented. However, the interrelationship between these two processes is not fully defined. In order to characterize it, we have used the euglycemic clamp technique on six normal volunteers, two patients

Biallelic insulin receptor (INSR) gene mutations cause congenital syndromes of severe insulin resistance (SIR) known as Donohue syndrome (DS) and Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome (RMS). At presentation, DS and RMS are difficult to differentiate since they share many clinical features; however, while

BACKGROUND Confluent and reticulate papillomatosis (CRP) (Gougerot-Carteaud syndrome) is a disorder that has been characterized in only small cohorts of patients. OBJECTIVE Better to characterize the clinical and pathological findings of the disorder. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical
