B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a hormone secreted from the heart in response to volume load and serves clinically as a reliable biomarker in the diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction and heart failure. As patients with heart failure present an increased risk for developing diabetes, we aimed to investigate the role of BNP on parameters of glucose metabolism in a placebo-controlled crossover study performed in 10 healthy volunteers (25±1 years; BMI 23±1 kg/m2</su...

Introduction: Growth hormone replacement (GHRT) during conception and pregnancy is an off-label treatment. Reports on pregnancy outcomes in women with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) are derived from single center studies with small sample sizes and show conflicting results.Methods/design: We evaluate pregnancies reported in the KIMS (Pfizer International Metabolic Database) patients on GHRT. KIMS includes 4651 women aged 1550 years (followed for 1...
