Gender dependence of serum soluble Klotho in acromegaly.
OBJECTIVES In acromegaly, disease activity is biochemically assessed by growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels. However, they are often discrepant, as several factors including gender influence their relationship. We recently found excessively high serum levels of soluble Klotho (sKl) in acromegalic patients, which depended on GH to a comparable extent as IGF-1. To ...
متن کاملThe Pituitary-Thyroid Axis in Acromegaly
The pituitary-Thyroid axis of 12 Acromegalic patients was evaluated by measurement of the concentration (Total and free of thyroxine T4, T3 and revers T3 (rT3) and TSH, GH and prolactin before and after in stimulation with TRH. Using an ultrasensitive method of TSH measurement (IRMA) basal serum TSH levels of patients (0.76, 0.07-l.90mlU/L) were found slightly but significantly (P < 0.01), low...
متن کاملEffects of Resveratrol on FOXO1 and FOXO3a Genes Expression in Adipose Tissue, Serum Insulin, Insulin Resistance and Serum SOD Activity in Type 2 Diabetic Rats
Induced oxidative stress in diabetes mellitus (DM) plays a critical role in insulin resistance. Fork head-related transcription factor (FOXO) proteins are important transcriptional factors involved in oxidative stress and insulin resistance. Resveratrol (RSV) is a polyphenol with hypoglycemic and antioxidant properties. The aims of the present study were to examine the effects of RSV on FOXO ge...
متن کاملAcromegaly
Acromegaly is due to excessive production of growth hormone (GH), generally by a pituitary GH-secreting adenoma. Its prevalence is estimated at 40-130 cases per million inhabitants. Acromegaly is characterized by slowly progressive acquired somatic disfigurement (mainly involving the face and extremities) and systemic manifestations. The rheumatologic, cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic...
