Growth Hormone may influence neoplastic development of endometrial epithelium towards endometrial adenocarcinoma, which is one of the most occurring tumors in acromegalic patients. Since chemoresistance often develops in advanced endometrial adenocarcinoma, we investigated whether Growth Hormone might influence the development of chemoresistance to drugs routinely employed in endometrial adenocarc...... hiện toàn bộ

Glucose and lipid disturbances, as well as higher tendency to atherosclerosis, are observed in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Thyroid hormones action has long been recognized as an important determinant of glucose and lipid homeostasis. Some studies suggest that even in euthyroid subjects, thyroid function may affect atherosclerosis risk factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate...... hiện toàn bộ

Unlike GLP-1, liraglutide is not cleared by the glomerulus and its pharmacokinetic is not altered in patients with mild renal impairment. The aim of our study was to analyze the effects of liraglutide on renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes. A twelve-month longitudinal prospective post-marketing study was performed. According to eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) calculated wit...... hiện toàn bộ

Recent epidemiologic studies suggest a high prevalence of acromegaly. The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in acromegaly patients ranges from 47 to 70%. A recent study identified 2 patients with acromegaly among 567 OSAS patients. However, it remains unclear whether screening for acromegaly among OSAS patients is necessary. The aim was to screen for acromegaly among OSAS patie...... hiện toàn bộ
Undertreated hypothyroidism due to calcium or iron supplementation corrected by oral liquid levothyroxineEndocrine - Tập 56 - Trang 138-145 - 2017
Salvatore Benvenga, Flavia Di Bari, Roberto Vita
The aim of this study was to assess whether oral liquid levothyroxine would correct tablet levothyroxine malabsorption induced by calcium or iron, two sequestrants of levothyroxine. Nineteen adult hypothyroid patients with tablet levothyroxine malabsorption caused by calcium and/or iron supplements were switched from tablet to liquid levothyroxine at the same dose. Primary outcomes were: (1) signi...... hiện toàn bộ
Brain white matter alterations in young adult male patients with childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency: a diffusion tensor imaging studyEndocrine - - Trang 1-9 - 2023

This study aimed to detect white matter changes and different effects of thyroid hormone on the white matter integrity in young adult male patients with childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency (CO-GHD), compared with healthy people. Magnetic resonance imaging (structural imaging and diffusion tensor imaging) was performed in 17 young adult male patients with CO-GHD and 17 healthy male controls. ...... hiện toàn bộ
