Objectives: To determine the effect on bone mineral density (BMD) of the sub clinical hyperthyroidism (SH) due to TSH-suppressive treatment with levothyroxine after thyroidectomy in men with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC).Materials and methods: Cross-sectional and retrospective study in 32 men (56±14 years) treated with levothyroxine for a minimum of 5 years, with TSH concentrations <0.05 mUI/ml and normal T3 levels in all determinations...

We aimed to assess the effect of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on the metabolic and gut microbiota profiles in non-diabetic obese patients with different grade of insulin resistance (IR).Methods: Prospective study of 22 morbid non-diabetic obese patients (77.2% women, age 47.13±9.51 years, basal BMI 45.59±4.99 kg/m2, 11 IR and 11 non-IR) undergoing SG. A fasting blood sample was collected at baseline and at 6 months post-SG for the determi...

Introduction: Bariatric surgery is an effective therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Many mechanisms have been proposed for its metabolic benefits, such as caloric restriction, weight loss, increased secretion of gut hormones like glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and 2 (GLP-2), bile acid diversion, decrease of pancreatic and hepatic fat deposits and changes in gut microbiome.Aims: Evaluate changes after surgery in gut microbiome profi...

Introduction: Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) present a high prevalence of autoimmune associated diseases. Recently, we described a prevalence of latent pernicious anemia (LPA) of 12.4% in DM1.Objectives: A 5-year follow-up study of a cohort of DM1 patients in order to evaluate the evolution of biochemical markers of LPA, defined as a serum pepsinogen I (PI) concentration below normal limits.Material and methods: One h...

Background: Obesity can lead type 2 diabetes (T2D), however there are patients with obesity who present euglycemia. The mechanisms by which T2D appears have not been fully elucidated. Oncostatin m (OSM) is a proinflammatory cytokine, member of the IL-6 family, which is increased in obesity in mice and humans, and impairs browning in mice. Here, we aim at evaluating the potential role of OSM in the development of T2D in patients with obesity.Material and ...
