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....

The aim of the study was to obtain the basic data about adrenomedullin after 1 μg ACTH stimulation.Adrenomedullin has direct effect on adrenal cortex secretion, therefore we studied the changes of its concentrations during ACTH stimulation in diabetic patients suspected of hypocorticalism.Thirty-two diabetics type 1 (DM1) were investigated; 16 with and 16 without autoimmune thyroditis (AIT); age 44±10 years (mean±<sm...

The aim of the study was to obtain data about peripheral metabolism of cortisol.We compared diabetics with low response (LR), and with normal response (NR) during low dose ACTH test, and a control group (C).Twelve diabetics were investigated; LR (n=6), NR (n=6), age 44±10 year (mean±S.D.), age at diagnosis of DM1 28.5±10 year, disease duration 15±8 year, BMI 24.5±2.7 kg/cm2...

Detailed information on adrenal function in autoimmune Type 1 diabetes with onset in adult age is still missing. This work compared diabetics with low response (LR) to diabetics with normal response (NR) to low dose ACTH test and control group (C).Thirty-two diabetics were investigated; LR (n=16), NR (n=16), age 44±10 years (mean±S.D.), age at diagnosis 28.5±10 years, disease duration 15±8 years, BMI 24.5&...
