Co-inheritance of PAX4 and BLK Mutations (MODY 7 and 9) in an 38-year-old African patient with ketosis-prone diabetes

Schmidt Winfried , Lankers Heidi

Introduction: Ketosis-prone diabetes (KPD) is an emerging and uncommon form of diabetes characterized by patients who present with diabetic ketoacidosis without any immunological autoantibody to islet antigens of classic type 1 diabetes. KPD is mostly observed in African-American populations. Multiple, severe forms of β-cell dysfunction appear to underlie the pathophysiology of KPD. The PAX4 gene, causing Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) subtype 9, alr...

Calbindin-D9k in hypoxia-induced diabetes mellitus like model

Ahn Changhwan , Kim Kipoong , Ai Kang Song , Dinh Nam Tran , Jeung Eui-Bae

It has been proposed that cellular Ca2+ signals activate hormone secretion. In pancreatic β cells, which produce insulin, Ca2+ signals have been known to contribute to insulin secretion. Prior to this study, we confirmed that Calbindin-D9k (CaBP-9k) was responsible for regulation of the distribution of free calcium in the cytoplasm. We also confirmed that insulin-secreting β cells express CaBP-9k, and assumed that CaBP-9k play a role in β c...

Ozcan Merve , Karaduman Tugce , Saglar Emel , Erdem Beril , Deniz Ferhat , Yonem Arif , Baskoy Kamil , Ahmet Ay Seyit , Oflaz Ofcan , Mergen Hatice

Familial central or neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (FNDI) results from insufficient production of antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin, which is caused by mutations in arginine vasopressin-neurophysin II gene (AVP-NPII). In this study, we present the clinical features of a male Turkish patient with autosomal dominant neurohypophyseal DI caused by a novel mutation (p.E108D). The prospective clinical data were collected for the proband patient and his family members. T...

Zielinska Anna , Maciulewski Rafal , Siewko Katarzyna , Poplawska-Kita Anna , Kozlowska Gabryela , Lipinska Danuta , Gorska Maria , Szelachowska Malgorzata

Introduction and aims: To date we have had some evidence that betatrophin is associated with insulin resistance. Some studies have demonstrated that betatrophin levels are elevated in type 2 diabetes, obesity and gestational diabetes. It has been shown that in mice betatrophin significantly improves beta cell function and glucose tolerance. This is the first study on betatrophin in which pregnant women were observed during all trimesters and in postpartum period to evaluate it...

Functional analysis of G12E mutation of AVPR2 gene in Turkish patients with diabetes insipidus

Erdem Beril , Saglar Emel , Karaduman Tugce , Ozcan Merve , Deniz Ferhat , Mergen Hatice

Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare disorder which is characterized with inability to concentrate urine because of severe liquid-balance impairment. Mutations in AVPR2 gene is one of the causes of DI. AVPR2 is a G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and its specific agonist is arginine vasopressin (AVP). When AVP binds to the AVPR2, which locates on the basolateral side of collecting duct principal cells of the kidney, it triggers accumulation of cAMP in the cell as a seconder messe...

Prevalence of biochemical hypoglycaemia in everyday practice

Zabuliene Lina , Pauliukiene Birute , Audrone Bagdziuniene Airida , Urboniene Jurgita

Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is the main tool in population based screening for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sometimes OGTT results are showing asymptomatic lowering of post-load blood glucose. Post-load plasma glucose (2hPG) level 3.9 mmol/l (70 mg/dl) and lower shows biochemical hypoglycaemia. Biochemical hypoglycaemia might be observed among individuals with abnormal glucose tolerance and in healthy population. The objective of the investigation was to assess a prevalenc...

Nedel Barbara , Antoniolli Luciana , Pazinato Tassia , Piccoli Vanessa , Beer Mayara , Piccoli Sheila , Gerchman Fernando

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (DM) is characterized by both insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. The oral disposition index (DIo), a measurement of β-cell function and insulin sensitivity, is considered the best predictor of progression to a worse GTS, although it was not well tested for regression to a better GTS.Objectives: To assess the validity of DIo and determine whether DIo predicts regression to a better GTS.<p class="abstext"...

Sanchez-Lechuga Begona , Lopez-Tinoco Cristina , Lopez Carmen , Tamayo Julian Andres , Mateo Isabel , Vilchez Francisco Javier , Aguilar Manuel

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with an increased risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH).

Molecular and clinical identification of A45T mutation in AQP2 gene

Karaduman Tugce , Ozcan Merve , Saglar Emel , Erdem Beril , Deniz Ferhat , Yonem Arif , Baskoy Kamil , Ay Seyit Ahmet , Oflaz Ofcan , Mergen Hatice

Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a disorder which is rarely seen and it is characterized by polydipsia and polyuria. Inadequate secretion of arginine vasopressin (AVP) from hypothalamus or inadequate response of kidney cells to AVP could be causes of DI. Therefore, any mutations in AVPR2, AVP and AQP2 genes which are the parts of that stimulation and response pathyway can cause DI. In this study, mutational analyse was performed for A45T mutation in AQP2 gene. We present a novel hom...

Oral fructose does not acutely affect circulating FGF21 in mice

Bielohuby Maximilian , Sommerfeld Mark , Schwahn Uwe , Winkel Angelika , Herling Andreas , Tennagels Norbert

Impaired glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity are established hallmarks of diabetes and it was speculated that also fructose tolerance could be impaired. However, investigation of fructose tolerance has been hampered by the lack of easy accessible pharmacodynamic markers. In humans, the hormone FGF21 has recently been demonstrated to be a sensitive pharmacodynamic marker responding to an oral fructose bolus and exhibiting a divergent secretion pattern in obese diabetic an...

Clinical inertia in type 2 diabetes mellitus without insulin treatment

Silva Joao , Ivo Catarina , Lopes Luis , Passos Dolores , Simoes Helder , Marcelino Mafalda , Jacome de Castro Joao

Introduction: Clinical inertia applied to type2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) treatment, is defined as a lack of treatment’s intensification of patients who are not in HbA1c target. Clinical inertia leads to a postponement of new therapeutic introduction, with all complications associated with a poor metabolic control. In Portugal there are only studies that show good or poor metabolic control but do not mention clinician’s attitude towards these values. Recently publishe...
