Interrelationships Between Pituitary Hormones as Assessed From 24-hour Serum Concentrations in Healthy Older Subjects

Effects of Prenatal Lipopolysaccharide Exposure on Reproductive Activities and Serum Concentrations of Pituitary-Gonadal Hormones in Mice Offspring

24-HOUR URINARY CALCIUM EVALUATION IN A HEALTHY POPULATION SAMPLE AND IN PATIENTS WITH UROLITHIASIS

A study was designed to evaluate the normal value of 24 hr urinary calcium levels in the city of Yazd. The average urinary excretion of calcium in a sample of 329 persons randomly selected was 232 mg/day, while patients with a history of recurrent urolithiasis excreted 20X mg/day. There is evidence which shows that more important factors than the amount of urinary calcium exist which influe...

Instability of 24-hour intraocular pressure fluctuation in healthy young subjects: a prospective, cross-sectional study

BACKGROUND Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for the development and/or progression of glaucoma, and a large diurnal IOP fluctuation has been identified as an independent risk factor of glaucoma progression. However, most previous studies have not considered the repeatability of 24-hour IOP measurements. The aim of this study was to evaluate the instability of 24-hour I...

Selected adipokines - plasma concentrations and adipose tissue expressions during 24-hour lipid infusion in healthy men.

Our aim was to assess the reaction of TNFalpha, resistin, leptin and adiponectin to lipid infusion. Eight healthy subjects underwent a 24-hour lasting infusion of lipid emulsion. Plasma concentrations and expressions of selected cytokines in subcutaneous fat were measured. TNFalpha plasma concentration did not change during the first 4 hours of hypertriglyceridemia, but a significant increase a...

Response to Acute Psychophysical Stress and 24-Hour Glycemic Control in Healthy Older People

We examined the relation between stress reactivity and 24 h glycemic control in 17 inactive, healthy older people (≥60 years) under both a novel psychophysical stress and a seated control condition. Plasma cortisol was measured over the course of the stress and recovery periods. Glycemic control was determined over the subsequent 3 h from an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and over 24 h via ...
