To evaluate the prevalence of comorbilities related to acromegaly and the grade of response to the different therapeutic alternatives.Material-methods: A retrospective study of 25 acromegalic patients diagnosed between 1990–2010 was made. It included a descriptive analysis on sex, age, hypertension, impaired glucose metabolism when diagnosed acromegaly, screening for dygestive and cardiac pathology, tumoral size, and percentage of disease control an...

Introduction: Many studies showed that H. pylori infection could be an independent predictor for insulin resistance and could regulate metabolism and body weight.Aim: To evaluate changes in metabolism induced by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) before and after antibiotic eradication treatment in patients colonized by H. pylori.Materials and method: Prospective case-controlled study with a sample of patients colonized by H. py...

Introduction: New treatments of diabetes improve global metabolic status beyond glycemic control and achieve weight reduction in many patients.Case reports: We described four case reports to show GLP-1 agonists and dapaglifozin effects on metabolism and weight in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity.Case 1 (Liraglutide): A 48-year-old man, hypertension, type 2 diabetes and extreme obesity. Baseline visit: treatment enalapril 2...

Introduction: H. pylori infection has been related with extragastric diseases such as type 2 diabetes.Aim: to evaluate changes in carbohydrate metabolism induced by 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), before and after antibiotic eradication treatment in patients colonized by H. pylori compared to healthy controls.Materials and methods: A prospective case-control study. Biochemical parameters, carbohydrate profile, ghrelin and G...

Introduction: H. pylori infection has been related with diseases such as type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.Objective: To evaluate changes in carbohydrates metabolism, lipid profile and intake regulating hormones induced by 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), before and after antibiotic eradication treatment in patients colonized by H. pylori.Materials and methods: A prospective study of 40 non-diabetics patients were perf...

Introduction: Some treatments of diabetes, such as lixisenatide, improve global metabolic status beyond glycaemic control.Aim: To evaluate tolerance to lixisenatide and its effects on weight and metabolic control in type 2 diabetes and obese patients attended in Endocrinology Offices.Material and method: A prospective study of patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity. In an intra-subject analysis, clinical and analytical data were...
