Single center three years’ experience with non-diabetic hypoglycemia in a tertiary hospital, Nepal

Baral Suman , Pant Vivek

Introduction: Diagnosis of hypoglycemia in non-diabetics is challenging in most of the cases. Appropriate diagnosis is possible only after taking proper history and performing appropriate laboratory investigation in appropriate time. The purpose of this study is to find the spectrum of etiology of hypoglycemia in non-diabetics in a tertiary hospital in a developing world with limited resources. This may help physicians working in similar situations.Mater...

Pro-inflammatory Socs3 inactivation in Kiss1-expressing cells does not affect reproduction and metabolism in mice

Bohlen Tabata M , de Paula Daniella G , Zampieri Thais T , Donato Jr Jose , Frazao Renata

It is well established that the kisspeptins are the main activators of GnRH neurons and therefore essential for the onset of puberty and reproduction. Previous studies have suggested that kisspeptin neurons are possibly major targets of pro-inflammatory cytokines to regulate reproduction. SOCS (suppressor of cytokine signaling) are proteins that regulate, as it says, cytokines. They inhibit the transduction of intracellular effects caused by those molecules, once that cytokine...
