Low serum C4 concentrations: an inherited predisposition to insulin dependent diabetes?
Twenty two out of 86 insulin dependent diabetics had serum C4 concentrations below the normal range. None of 41 non-insulin dependent diabetics tested had low concentrations. Low C4 values were seen in insulin dependent diabetes irrespective of the duration of the disease and did not appear to correlate with complement activation. There was a close correlation in C4 values between identical cot...
متن کاملLow plasma C4 concentrations: association with microangiopathy in insulin dependent diabetes.
Plasma C4 concentrations were measured in insulin dependent diabetics with and without microangiopathy and in controls. The diabetics had significantly lower C4 values than controls (p less than 0.001), and patients with insulin dependent diabetes and microangiopathy had lower values than those without this complication (p less than 0.001). There was a 7.1-fold increase in the prevalence of com...

While majority of these disorders are still sporadic, it is becoming clear that a subset of them have a germline predisposition and is familial in nature. With the advancement and integration of molecular studies, it has been recognized that approximately 5-10% of hematological ma...
متن کاملProlactin concentrations in serum and milk of mothers with and without insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
Diabetes may affect the secretion of prolactin, the principal lactogenic hormone. Because adequate amounts are critical to the establishment of lactation, we assessed the prolactin status of 33 women with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), 33 women without diabetes, and 11 reference women participating in a study of lactation from 2 to 84 d postpartum. Circulating concentrations of ser...
