3. Pituitary gigantism: a case series from Hospital de San José (Bogotá, Colombia)
ABSTRACT Introduction Gigantism is a rare pediatric disease characterized by increased production of growth hormone (GH) before epiphyseal closure, that manifests clinically as tall stature, musculoskeletal abnormalities, and multiple comorbidities. Materials and methods Case series of 6 male patients with gigantism evaluated at the Endocrinology Service

4. Genetic causes of isolated short stature
ABSTRACT Short stature is a common feature, and frequently remains without a specific diagnosis after conventional clinical and laboratorial evaluation. Longitudinal growth is mainly determined by genetic factors, and hundreds of common variants have been associated to height variability among healthy individuals. Although isolated short stature may be cause

5. Star anise extracts modulation of reproductive parameters, fertility potential and DNA fragmentation induced by growth promoter Equigan in rat testes
ABSTRACT Equigan is an anabolic steroid that has been developed for veterinary use and derived from endogenous sex hormone testosterone that plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissue as well as in puberty and spermatogenesis. The current study is aimed to investigate the possible prophylactic effect of star anise extracts (SAE) on the t

6. Relationships between adiponectin levels, the metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes: a literature review
ABSTRACT Elevated hepatic glucose production, impaired insulin secretion, and insulin resistance - abnormalities of glucose metabolism typically found in subjects with obesity - are major factors underlying the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (DM2) and the metabolic syndrome (MS). Adiponectin is a major regulator of glucose and lipid homeostasis via its insu

7. A boy with Prader-Willi syndrome: unmasking precocious puberty during growth hormone replacement therapy
SUMMARY Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder frequently characterized by obesity, growth hormone deficiency, genital abnormalities, and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Incomplete or delayed pubertal development as well as premature adrenarche are usually found in PWS, whereas central precocious puberty (CPP) is very rare. This study aimed to repo

8. Thyroid disorders are common in first-degree relatives of individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus
Objective Thyroid diseases are common in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and should be investigated annually in these individuals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of thyroid diseases in first degree relatives (FDR) of patients with T1DM. Subjects and methods Eighty individuals (40 patients with T1DM and 40 FDR) were inte

10. Análise dos genes GHRH e GL12 em pacientes com deficiência de hormônio do crescimento congênita / GHRH and GLI2 genes analysis in patients with congenital growth hormone deficiency
Introduction: Alterations in genes related to GH secretion and pituitary organogenesis have been identified in patients with congenital GH deficiency (GHD). However, in only few cases of GHD the etiology has been established. GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) is an obvious candidate to explain isolated GH deficiency (IGHD). Previous reports in the literature did n

11. Alterações sistêmicas e comportamentais de interesse odontológico em pacientes com síndrome de Down / Dental implications of systemic and behavior alterations in Downs syndrome patients
Downs syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic disorder and it is caused by the trissomy of 21 chromosome. It is characterized by mental retardation, physical alterations and several systemic co morbidities. The aim of this study was to evaluate behavior and systemic alterations with dental implications in DS patients and discuss the dental management of the

12. The role of secondary hyperparathyroidism in left ventricular hypertrophy of patients under chronic hemodialysis
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients frequently develop structural cardiac abnormalities, particularly left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The mechanisms involved in these processes are not completely understood. In the present study, we evaluated a possible association between parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and left ventricular mass (LVM) in patients w
