Background: Dulaglutide has been approved as a hypoglycemic agent for the treatment of patients with T2DM. A positive effect on carbohydrate metabolism and body weight was shown in RCT.It was found that GLP-1 agonists may prevent the progression of NAFLD directly affecting lipid metabolism and inflammation.Aim: To assess the effect of dulaglutide on carbohydrate and hepatic metabolism in patients with T2DM and NAFLD in real clinica...

Aim: To study the distribution of epicardial fat in young people with type 1 diabetes mellitus using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies.Material and Methods: 60 patients (29 men, 31 women), aged 18 to 36 years old, with an experience of type 1 diabetes from 5 to 16 years old were underwent contrastive cardio MRI. Measurements of epicardial fat (EF) were carried out on basal (B), medium (M), apical (A) segments of the left (LV) and right ventri...

Methylglyoxal (MG) damages arginine protein residues, inhibits enzymes, disrupts insulin signal transmission, and plays a key role in the development of insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. High glucose levels cause an increase in glycation and methylglyoxal formation. Glycation is the main cause of protein damage, leading to the production of free radicals and causing inflammation.The purpose of the study: To Identify the relationship of methylglyoxal ...

Objective: To study the dynamics of cytolysis and carbonyl stress (methylglyoxal (MG)) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and non-alcoholic fat disease liver (NAFLD) on the background of various hypoglycemic therapy.Materials and methods: The study included 48 patients, 53.8 ± 11.14 years, with SD2 and NAFLD and 20 people in the control group. Viral hepatitis was excluded, toxic and drug-induced liver injury. Anthropometric researc incl...

Glycation is due to the ability of glucose to form irreversible chemical compounds with amino groups of lysine and arginine – methylglyoxal (MG).Material and Methods: 98 patients with NAFLD and 52 patients with NAFLD were examined. Diabetes 2-type, and 22 healthy volunteers. Age 57.3 ± 5.2 years. BMI 34.85 ± 1.79. The diagnosis was established on the basis of laboratory data and examination results. The level of LPO was determinedby the c...

Background: Dumping syndrome in infants who have undergone gastrostomy or Nissens fundoplication is a recognised phenomenon. The pathogenesis is possibly due to a bolus feed causing an incretin effect and leading to hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems have not been used in the past to study this phenomenon. We report CGM findings which are almost identical on three such post surgical infants.Case series 1: a 36-we...

Background: Recently, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the FSHB promoter (−211G>T, rs10835638) was found to be associated with lower serum FSH levels and oligozoospermia in males. In contrast, a SNP in the FSH-receptor gene (FSHR, 2039A>G, rs6166) was previously shown to be associated with FSH levels in women only.Subjects and methods: One thousand two hundred and thirteen male partners in infertile couples without known c...

Introduction: Achievement of stable normocalcemia (88–98.8%) is considered a criterium of efficiency of surgical operations for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) (P.Goudet et al. 2001, Zeiger 1997). In 1–15% of cases, persistence of PHPT is noted (Mariani et al. 2003, Mariette et al. 1998).Description of methods: In 110 of 175 patients (aged 14–72 years), parathyroid adenoma was verified, in 57 – hyperplasi...

Objective: To identify the frequency of occurrence of endothelial dysfunction dorsalis pedis arteries in diabetes.Materials and methods: patients with diabetes mellitus, with no complaints of the legs were examined (aged 40.25±3.12, duration of diabetes 12.50±1.25). Endothelial dysfunction was studied with high-resolution ultrasound (9 MHz) and diagnosed in the absence of growth in artery diameter in response to reactive hyperemia >10% or a...

C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) has recently been implicated as a key meiotic arrest factor in oocytes, and mechanistic studies suggest that the transcriptional regulation of the CNP gene (Nppc) and of its receptor, GC-B (Npr2) is sensitive to gonadotrophin-dependent cAMP accumulation. We have shown CNP to be a major regulator of gonadotrophs in the pituitary, but have yet to establish how either Nppc or Npr2 are transcriptionally controlled locally. In the current study, the...
