  • Factors influencing insulin sensitivity in patients with mild primary hyperparathyroidism before and after parathyroidectomy
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Clinical & Laboratory Investigation. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1502-7686 .- 0036-5513. ; 72:2, s. 92-99

    • Objectives. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with cardiovascular disease. The aims of this study were to investigate lipid and glucose metabolism in mild PHPT, and to identify whether insulin sensitivity correlates with circulating levels of adiponectin, SHBG, and osteocalcin before and after parathyroidectomy (PTX). Materials and methods. Forty-five patients with PHPT were examined before and 1 year after PTX. Circulating levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, insulin, glucose, adiponectin, SHBG, osteocalcin, and erythropoietin were measured. Results. At baseline, the mean serum levels of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides were above the upper reference limit or in the upper normal range, and insulin sensitivity was reduced as assessed using the HOMA index. One year after parathyroidectomy, serum lipids as well as HOMA index and erythropoietin were unchanged while adiponectin had increased (p < 0.05), and SHBG and osteocalcin had decreased (p < 0.05 and p < 0.0001, respectively). HOMA index correlated negatively with circulating levels of adiponectin, SHBG and osteocalcin. In multiple regression analysis SHBG was the most important predictor of insulin sensitivity, both pre- and postoperatively. Conclusion. Untreated mild PHPT is associated with a moderate derangement of lipid and glucose metabolism. As previously shown in population-based cohorts, insulin sensitivity is positively associated with circulating concentrations of adiponectin, SHBG and osteocalcin. One year after PTX, the mean level of adiponectin was increased, but the levels of SHBG and osteocalcin had decreased and the levels of serum lipids and the insulin sensitivity remained unchanged as compared with baseline.

  • Increased markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction in patients with mild primary hyperparathyroidism
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Clinical & Laboratory Investigation. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1502-7686 .- 0036-5513. ; 71:2, s. 139-144
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Objectives: The association between primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and cardiovascular disease is incompletely understood. The aims of this study were to evaluate how cardiac function and markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction correlate in patients with mild PHPT, and how these markers are influenced by surgical cure of the parathyroid disease (PTX). Material and methods: Forty-five patients with PHPT were examined before and 1 year after PTX. Serum/plasma concentrations of calcium, PTH, highly sensitive C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM1), E-selectin, and NT-proBNP were measured as well as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and creatinine clearance. Cardiac function was evaluated by equilibrium radionuclide angiography. Results: The baseline serum level of IL-6 correlated negatively with baseline parameters of cardiac function (exercise capacity, p < 0.001, left ventricular ejection fraction at exercise, p < 0.01). The mean serum concentrations of IL-6 and CRP and the ESR had increased 1 year after PTX (p < 0.001, p < 0.01, and p < 0.001, respectively) in parallel with a decrease in cardiac function and an increase in circulating NT-proBNP. The mean serum level of VCAM1 was above the upper normal range at baseline and had not changed significantly 1 year after PTX. Conclusion: Patients with mild PHPT and normal renal function displayed signs of subclinical inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. One year after PTX, the inflammatory markers were increased in parallel with a subclinical decrease in cardiac function. Further studies are warranted to clarify the natural course and clinical implications of these changes.

  • The association between the IGF-I axis, thyroid hormones and cortical bone in patients with mild primary hyperparathyroidism
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Clinical & Laboratory Investigation. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1502-7686 .- 0036-5513. ; 73:1, s. 34-41
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Objectives. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of osteoporotic fractures. This study investigated whether the IGF-I axis and thyroid hormones are associated with BMD and osteoporotic fractures before and after parathyroidectomy (PTX). Materials and methods. Forty-five patients with mild PHPT were examined before and 1 year after PTX. Circulating concentrations of IGF-1, IGFBP-3, and thyroid hormones were measured and related to BMD in hip and lumbar (L:2-L:4) spine. Results. Serum IGFBP-3 concentration decreased 1 year after PTX (p < 0.01), whereas serum IGF-1 and thyroid hormone concentrations were unchanged. Serum IGF1 concentration correlated positively with IGFBP-3 concentration (p < 0.0001) and BMD in the femoral neck (p < 0.05), both pre- and postoperatively. Serum IGFBP-3 concentration correlated positively with BMD in the femoral neck postoperatively (p < 0.05). Serum TSH correlated positively, and free thyroxine (T4) negatively, with all measures of hip BMD at baseline. Patients suffering from previous osteoporotic fractures before inclusion had lower serum TSH concentration compared to patients without fractures (p < 0.01). Conclusion. Serum IGFBP-3 concentration decreased after successful PTX in patients with mild PHPT, while serum IGF1 and thyroid hormone concentrations were unchanged. Both the IGF-I axis and thyroid hormones associated with cortical bone as serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 concentrations correlated positively, and free T4 negatively with hip BMD. Moreover, serum TSH concentration was reduced in patients with previous osteoporotic fractures.
