  • No correlation between insulin and islet amyloid polypeptide after stimulation with glucagon-like peptide-1 in type 2 diabetes
  • 1997
  • Ingår i: European journal of endocrinology. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 0804-4643 .- 1479-683X. ; 137:6, s. 643-649
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • OBJECTIVES: To examine whether glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which has been suggested as a new therapeutic agent in type 2 diabetes, affects circulating islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), a B-cell peptide of potential importance for diabetes pathophysiology. DESIGN: GLP-1 was administered in a buccal tablet (400 micrograms) to seven healthy subjects and nine subjects with type 2 diabetes. Serum IAPP and insulin levels were measured before and after GLP-1 administration. RESULTS: In the fasting state, serum IAPP was 4.1 +/- 0.3 pmol/l in the controls vs 9.8 +/- 0.9 pmol/l in the subjects with type 2 diabetes (P < 0.001). IAPP correlated with insulin only in controls (r = 0.74, P = 0.002) but not in type 2 diabetes (r = 0.26, NS). At 15 min after GLP-1, circulating IAPP increased to (6.0 +/- 0.5 pmol/l in controls P = 0.009) and to 13.8 +/- 1.2 pmol/l in type 2 diabetes (P = 0.021). In both groups, serum insulin increased and blood glucose decreased compared with placebo. In controls serum IAPP increased in parallel with insulin (r = 0.79, P = 0.032), whereas in type 2 diabetes the increase in IAPP did not correlate with the increase in insulin. CONCLUSION: Type 2 diabetes is associated with elevated circulating IAPP; GLP-1stimulates IAPP secretion both in healthy human subjects and in type 2 diabetes; IAPP secretion correlates with insulin secretion only in healthy subjects and not in type 2 diabetes.

  • Leptin levels are strongly correlated with those of GH-binding protein in prepubertal children.
  • 1997
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Endocrinology. - 0804-4643 .- 1479-683X. ; 137:1, s. 68-73

    • There was a highly significant correlation between serum levels of leptin and those of GHBP, except in children with GHD. The possibility that leptin could mediate the effects of body fat mass on GH sensitivity, therefore, merits further investigation.

  • Integrins in thyroid tissue: upregulation of alpha2beta1 in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma
  • 1998
  • Ingår i: European journal of endocrinology. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 0804-4643 .- 1479-683X. ; 138:1, s. 104-112
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the integrin pattern in the normal thyroid gland and in different pathological disorders including malignant tumors, because the aggressiveness of several malignant tumors correlates with alterations in the expression of one or more integrins. DESIGN: We examined the expression of integrins and E-cadherin immunohistochemically in a large and well-defined sample of normal and pathological human thyroid tissue. METHODS: Cryosections of 58 thyroid tissue specimens from normal tissue, thyrotoxicosis, nodular goiter, oxyphilic adenoma, follicular adenoma, follicular carcinoma, papillary carcinoma and anaplastic carcinoma, and three lymph node metastases were investigated immunohistochemically using monoclonal antibodies specifically recognizing the integrin beta1-, beta4-, alpha1-, alpha2-, alpha3-, alpha5- and alpha6-subunits, or E-cadherin. RESULTS: All thyroid epithelial cells expressed integrin beta1- and alpha3-subunits. Immunostaining of the beta4-subunit and the alpha6-subunits was found only in tumors. The staining pattern in the three lymph node metastases from papillary carcinomas did not differ from that in their primaries. Anaplastic carcinomas demonstrated neoexpression of the integrin alpha2-subunit. E-cadherin was detected in all tissues except anaplastic carcinomas. CONCLUSIONS: Neoexpression of alpha6beta4 was seen in most malignant tumors, whereas alpha2 was exclusively found in anaplastic carcinomas. In the latter, a loss of E-cadherin expression was also seen. These changes in cell adhesion molecule expression strongly suggest an association with the acquisition of proliferative and invasive properties.

  • Effect of growth hormone treatment on insulin action in adipocytes from children with Prader-Willi syndrome
  • 1998
  • Ingår i: European journal of endocrinology. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 0804-4643 .- 1479-683X. ; 138:5, s. 510-516
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of growth hormone (GH) treatment (2-4 months) on insulin action in adipocytes isolated from children with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), in whom GH deficiency appears to be a primary defect. We investigated the complex effects of GH on carbohydrate metabolism, as part of a current clinical trial of GH treatment in children with PWS. METHODS: Biopsies of subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue were obtained from 12 children with PWS before and after 2-4 months of GH treatment. Lipogenesis was determined by the incorporation of radiolabelled glucose into lipids in isolated adipocytes, and glycerol release to the incubation medium was used as an index of lipolysis. GLUT4 RNA was measured by solution hybridization. RESULTS: With low glucose concentrations, at which glucose transport is rate-limiting, maximal insulin-induced lipogenesis was increased by 120% after GH treatment (P < 0.05), but the sensitivity to insulin (half-maximum effective hormone concentration) was unchanged. This was not accompanied by a significant change in the RNA expression of GLUT4. Neither responsiveness (maximum effect) nor sensitivity of insulin-induced inhibition of lipolysis was affected by GH treatment. CONCLUSIONS: GH treatment of children with PWS results in an upregulation of insulin-induced lipogenesis in isolated adipocytes, with no effect on insulin-induced inhibition of lipolysis. The data suggest that the site of the effect of GH on lipogenesis is distal to the insulin hormone-receptor interaction, but does not involve altered GLUT4 expression.

  • Paradoxical GH response to TRH during status epilepticus in man
  • 1999
  • Ingår i: European journal of endocrinology. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 0804-4643 .- 1479-683X. ; 140:4, s. 307-314
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Information on GH in relation to epilepsy is sparse, and to our knowledge there is no information on GH levels during status epilepticus in man. We studied GH in serum in six patients during status epilepticus, and in a control group of six seizure-free patients with epilepsy, before and after injection of TRH. The baseline GH values before TRH administration were within the normal range in all patients. After injection of TRH all patients with status epilepticus showed a paradoxical peak-shaped increase of GH to at least twice their baseline levels within 45 min after the injection (median basal GH value 1.5 mU/l and median peak GH value 6. 5 mU/l, mean increase 330%). No uniform reaction to TRH was observed in the control group (median basal GH value 2.7 U/l and median of the highest value within 45 min 5.2mU/l). A paradoxical peak reaction of GH to TRH was significantly more frequent in the status epilepticus group compared with the control group (P=0.008, Fisher exact probability test). TRH is not considered a GH-releasing hormone in humans during normal conditions, but a paradoxical response of GH to TRH, similar to that observed during status epilepticus, has been reported in various other pathological conditions, such as acromegaly, liver cirrhosis, mental depression and hypothyroidism. Our results of GH release after TRH administration in patients with status epilepticus suggest an altered regulation of GH as a result of the long-standing epileptic activity.

  • Peptide-containing nerve fibres in normal human parathyroid glands and in human parathyroid adenomas
  • 1995
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Endocrinology. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 0804-4643 .- 1479-683X. ; 133:5, s. 51-543
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • There are only a few studies on the innervation of the human parathyroid glands and the content of neurotransmitters. We therefore studied the occurrence and distribution of peptide-containing and adrenergic nerve fibres and the coexistence pattern of neuromessengers by immunocytochemistry in normal (unaffected) and adenomatous parathyroid glands from patients undergoing surgery for parathyroid adenoma. The unaffected parathyroid glands had a moderate-to-rich supply of nerve fibres and terminals containing two general neuronal markers, protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) and synaptophysin, neuropeptide Y (NPY) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). They were seen close to blood vessels and, occasionally, among the endocrine cells. Only a few nerves contained calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), substance P (SP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP). The general density of innervation, using PGP 9.5 and synaptophysin as markers, varied greatly among the different adenomas examined. This applied also to the density of fibres and terminals containing specific types of messengers. Some of the tumours had a rich supply of TH- and NPY-containing nerve fibres, while others contained only few scattered fibres. The CGRP-containing fibres varied from moderate in number to no detectable fibres. The PACAP-, SP- and VIP-containing fibres were always very few or not detectable. It is not inconceivable that the wide variation in general density of the innervation and frequency of peptide-containing nerves among individual parathyroid adenomas is of significance for their hormone secretory behaviour.
