Background: The impact of hyperglycemia on atherogenesis is regulated through the increase of the oxidative stress, increase of the rest of the glycosylated products of metabolism and development of the endothelium dysfunction.Aim: To compare the biochemical indexes and investigate their relationship with the development of cardiovascular disease in obese patients with and without type 2 diabetes.Materials and methods: 21 patients ...

Aim: To study the carbohydrate metabolism in patients with Itsenko-Kushing’s disease (IKD) and Itsenko-Kushing’s syndrome (IKS).Materials and Methods: 23 patients with hypercorticism were investigated. From which in 8 patients IKD was diagnosed, and in 15 – IKS. In patients with IKD the amount of cortizol was at 8.00 – 273.3±56.8 ng/ml (N- 50–250 ng/ml); 20.00 – 343.3±43.8 ng/ml (N- 50–250 ng/ml); the value of...
