Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) patients who undergo parathyroidectomy can develop isolated intact parathormone (iPTH) elevation with normal calcemia. Common causes are: renal insufficiency (RI), vitamin D deficit and hypomagnesemia.Aim: To identify clinical factors associated with iPTH elevation in patients submitted to surgery treatment.Methods: The medical records of patients admitted into Santo António&#14...

AM251, a CB1 receptor antagonist, increases GLUT4 expression in adipocytes

Furuya D T , Poletto A C , Freitas H S , Machado U F

Evidences have suggested that the endocannabinoid system is overactive in obesity, resulting in enhanced endocannabinoid levels in both circulation and visceral adipose tissue. The cannabinoid CB1 receptor is expressed in the adipose tissue besides the brain. Few studies in vitro suggest that CB1 activation increases glucose uptake in adipocytes. The objective of the present study was to investigate the CB1 receptor modulation on glucose transporter GLUT4 expression, which is ...
