متن کاملHyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia – The Molecular Mechanisms
Under normal physiological conditions, pancreatic β-cells secrete insulin to maintain fasting blood glucose levels in the range 3.5-5.5 mmol/L. In hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH), this precise regulation of insulin secretion is perturbed so that insulin continues to be secreted in the presence of hypoglycemia. HH may be due to genetic causes (congenital) or secondary to certain risk factors....
متن کاملHyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia associated with insulin antibodies caused by exogenous insulin analog
Insulin antibodies (IA) associated with exogenous insulin administration seldom caused hypoglycemia and had different characteristics from insulin autoantibodies (IAA) found in insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS), which was first described by Dr Hirata in 1970. The characteristic of IAS is the presence of insulin-binding autoantibodies and related fasting or late postprandial hypoglycemia. Here, ...
متن کاملTherapy for Persistent Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia of Infancy
The neonatal disorder persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI) arises as the result of mutations in the subunits that form the ATP-sensitive potassium (K ATP ) channel in pancreatic b cells, leading to insulin hypersecretion. Diazoxide (a specific K ATP channel agonist in normal b cells) and somatostatin (octreotide) are the mainstay of medical treatment for the condition. To ...
