Thyroglobulin as a biomarker of iodine deficiency

Bilek Radovan , Cerovska Jarmila , Zamrazil Vaclav

Introduction: We are presenting our results on the relationship between a concentration of urinary iodine (UI) and serum thyroglobulin (Tg) in population studies carried out on a general healthy total population that was randomly selected (individuals aged 6–98 years, 1751 males, 2420 females). 87.2% of the total population was described as the normal population with a simultaneously determined thyrotropin and free thyroxine within reference ranges....

Objective: Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF-19) and FGF-21 are novel metabolic regulators that improve insulin resistence and obesity in rodents. The objective of this study was to explore whether changes in serum concentrations of FGF-19 and FGF-21 contribute to positive metabolic effects of weight loss induced by surgical treatment of obesity – sleeve gastrectomy (SG).Methods: Serum concentrations of FGF-19 and 21, adiponectin, resistin, fatty aci...

BackgroundPrenatal dexamethasone treatment (Pdex) has been used since the 1980s to prevent virilization in female offspring suspected to have congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). However, due to lack of strong evidence for its best practice as well as limited data regarding longterm adverse effects, use of dex is highly controversial. This study reveals the current medical practice regarding Pdex in female fetuses at risk of CAH due to 21hydroxylase def...
