چکیده

The study has now been extended to 22 first degree relatives positive for two or more antibodies among anti-GAD (GADA), anti-IA-2 (IA2A) and anti-insulin (IAA) undergoing a total of 27 six-month periods of a gluten-free diet, followed by an equal number of six-month periods of normal gluten-containing diet. Five subjects developed clinical diabetes during follow-up. In the remainder, first phase insulin response (FPIR) to i.v. glucose tolerance test after the first 6 months of gluten deprivation increased in 19 of the 25 periods tested (P = 0.021 of 6 m vs baseline); 6months after return to normal diet, FPIR decreased in 17 of 20 period tested (P = 0.005 of 12 vs 6 m). Patients were stratified as high responders (1st tertile), low responders (2nd tertile) and non responders (3rd tertile) according to FPIR after gluten deprivation and several immunological and metabolic markers have been evaluated for their possible predictive value of response to gluten deprivation.

Celiac disease: pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and associated autoimmune conditions.

The clinical spectrum of celiac disease continues to evolve. What was once thought to be a rare disorder affecting young children is now recognized to be very common with a range of symptoms from asymptomatic disease to severely affected persons. Screening for celiac disease has become relatively easily with reliable antibodies against self-antigens (TG) and modified environmental antigens (DGP...

Elimination of dietary gluten does not reduce titers of type 1 diabetes-associated autoantibodies in high-risk subjects.

OBJECTIVE Removal of the dietary wheat protein gluten protects against autoimmune diabetes in animal models. Furthermore, elimination of dietary gluten reduces the frequency of type 1 diabetes in patients with celiac disease. Herein we test the hypothesis that gluten is the driving antigen for type 1 diabetes-associated islet autoimmunity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Seven autoantibody-positi...

Manipulating the type 1 diabetes disease process, man versus mouse.

I n their article in this month's issue of Diabetes Care, Hummell et al. (1) tested the hypothesis that gluten is a driving antigen for type 1 diabetes–associated is-let autoimmunity. They convincingly demonstrated that elimination of dietary gluten for 12 months in humans positive for at least two type 1 diabetes–associated autoantibodies does not consistently alter the titers of these antibod...

Gluten - Not a Friendly Protein

Introduction: Gluten is a protein found in grains.  Research has shown that the gluten that is in grains of wheat, barley, rye, and oats (to a lesser degree) is toxic to many individuals.  While gluten is essential for the make-up of these 4 grains, our bodies do not need it. Is it healthful?  The protein in today’s wheat is poorly digested and can be harmful.  An estimated 95% of prepared fo...
