There are limited data inquiring the relationship between somatostatin analogues and insulin sensitivity among acromegalic cases. This study was conducted to evaluate short-term effects of lanreotide autogel (LA), administered every 28 days by deep subcutaneous injection, on insulin sensitivity among acromegalic patients with pituitary tumors. Before and following six months of LA treatment, insulin resistance and beta-cell function were calculated by using homeostasis model a...

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between basal dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S) levels and other tests used in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of Cushing’s Syndrome (CS) among the patients with pathologically confirmed CS.Methods: In this multicenter study, the data of 623 patients with CS were evaluated retrospectively. The patients were classified as Group 1 (n = 353 Cushing’s disease;CD), Group 2 (n</e...
