Horm Metab ResDOI: 10.1055/a-0985-4272Nesfatin-1 has originally been established as a bioactive peptide interacting with key hypothalamic nuclei and neural circuitries in control of feeding behavior, while its effect on energy expenditure has only recently been investigated. Hence, the aim of this study was to examine whether centrally acting nesfatin-1 can induce β3-adrenergic stimulation, which is a prerequisite for the activation of thermogenic genes and heat release from interscapular brown adipose...

Horm Metab ResDOI: 10.1055/a-0969-1872Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a highly prevalent disease in young women that also features increased insulin resistance. Genetic factors have a strong relationship with the etiology of PCOS. We assessed whether carrying THADA rs13429458 is associated with the development of PCOS by meta-analysis and whether the association is influenced by ethnicity. Articles were searched using PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Korean scientific database, and Chinese and...

Horm Metab ResDOI: 10.1055/a-0998-4079The purpose of the study was to compare serum visfatin levels between patients with acromegaly and healthy controls and to evaluate the relationships between visfatin levels and epicardial fat thickness (EFT), carotid intima media thickness (cIMT), and ankle brachial index (ABI). We conducted a cross-sectional case-control study of 54 patients with acromegaly (37 females and 17 males) and 34 healthy controls (22 females and 12 males). Serum visfatin was measured...

Abstract Purposes Parathyroid cancer (PC) is rare, but fatal condition. Preoperative prediction of PC remains challenging but meaningful. The aim of this study was to determine an effective model to predict PC in patients with parathyroid lesions >1.5 cm. Methods In this retrospective case-control study, we enrolled 30 patients with PC matched to 60 patients...

Abstract Bone fractures are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. The aim of this study was to quantify the incidence of fractures in a cohort of prevalent HD patients and evaluate its relationship with possible risk factors. We performed a retrospective analysis of 341 patients, since they started HD (median of 51 months). Demographic, clinical, and biochemical parameters as well as vascular calcifications (VC) were evaluated. Fifty-seven...

Abstract Purpose The effect of the sodium-glucose 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors on microvascular complications remains uncertain. We performed a systematic review to determine the efficacy of the SGLT-2 inhibitors on microvascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods A comprehensive search was performed using Ovid, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and...
