Considering Insulin Secretory Capacity as Measured by a Fasting
C-Peptide/Glucose Ratio in Selecting Glucose-Lowering
Medications
Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes DOI: 10.1055/a-1242-9809Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous disease. Recently introduced new
subclassifications promise more efficacious, tailored treatments which could
complement current guidelines. In the differentiation of the new diabetes
subphenotypes, assessment of insulin secretion is one of the essential
components. Based on a large number of insulin secretion measurements, we
propose fasting C-peptide/glucose ratio (CGR) as an adequate and
practicable estimate of insulin secretion. CGR discriminates insulin deficiency...

ICAT acts as a Coactivator in Regulating PPAR γ
Transcriptional Activity in Mesangial Cells
Conclusions β-catenin and ICAT interact as coactivator to
modulate PPARγ transcriptional activation. In HMCs cultured in HG, the
low expression of ICAT leads to low PPARγ transcriptional
activation. [...] © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents | Abstract | Full text (Source: Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology and Diabetes)

the World Health Organization (WHO) 1.
Mortality and morbidity are higher in elderly individuals and those with
comorbidities, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), obesity, hypertension, respiratory

The TUDID Study – Background and Design of a Prospective
Cohort
Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes DOI: 10.1055/a-1221-9618Prevalence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus is growing worldwide and
one major cause for morbidity and mortality. However, not every patient develops
diabetes-related complications, but causes for the individual susceptibility are
still not fully understood. As a platform to address this, we initiated the
TUDID (TUebingen DIabetes Database) study, a prospective, monocentric,
observational study that includes adults with diabetes mellitus who are treated
in the inpatient clinic of a University Hospital...

Flash Glucose Monitoring Improves Glucose Control in People with Type
2 Diabetes Mellitus Receiving Anti-diabetic Drug Medication
Conclusion Using FGM to monitor glucose concentration at 11.7

exercise, especially in patients with high concentration of HbA1c
(>66.1 mmol/mol). [...] © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents | Abstract | Full text (Source: Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology and Diabetes)

Establishment of Clinical and Lab Algorithms for the Identification

Adolescents
Conclusion Alternatively to the above mentioned cut-offs the difference
of 60 min after stimulation to basal 17OHP (Δ17OHP60) can be
used for the benefit of a combined test to identify both heterozygotes and
bi-allelic patients. There are minimal decreases in sensitivity and specificity
compared to an approach that applies two tests. However, it denotes a simpler
approach in the clinical routine. [...] © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents | Abstract | Full text (Source: Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology and Diabetes)

SNPs of miR-23b, miR-107 and HMGA2 and their Relations with the
Response to Medical Treatment in Acromegaly Patients
Conclusion The genetic variations of the miRNAs genes related with HMGA2
and AIP genes were not seen in our study. Although there is no relationship
between HMGA2-rs1351394 polymorphism and acromegaly disease, T allele was
associated with some clinical features related to adenoma in patients with

Persistent Cushing ’s Disease after Transsphenoidal Surgery:
Challenges and Solutions
Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes DOI: 10.1055/a-1220-6056Transsphenoidal surgery remains the primary treatment for Cushing’s
disease (CD). However, despite the vast improvements in pituitary surgery,
successful treatment of CD remains a great challenge. Although selective
transsphenoidal removal of the pituitary tumor is a safe and effective
procedure, the disease persists in around 22% of CD patients due to
incomplete tumor resection. The persistence of hypercortisolism after pituitary
surgery may also be the consequence of a misdiagnosis, as can occur in case of
...

Progression of Diabetic Complications in Subgroups of People with
Long Term Diabetes Type 1 According to Clinical Course
Conclusion In our analysis, we were able to confirm known risk factors
for microvascular disease in people with type 1 diabetes. Overall, prediction of
individual risk was difficult, the effect of individual markers minor and we
could not find differences regarding slow or fast progression. We therefore
emphasis the need for additional markers to predict individual risk for
microvascular disease. [...] © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents | Abstract | Full text (Source: Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology and Diabetes)

Therapeutic Patient Education for Adrenal Insufficiency under
COVID-19 Pandemic Conditions
Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes DOI: 10.1055/a-1217-7208Adrenal insufficiency (AI) requires life-long treatment with glucocorticoid
replacement therapy. Over- or under-substitution carries the risk of
increased morbidity in the form of side effects or adrenal crises.
Glucocorticoid replacement therapy needs to be flexible with dose adaptation
in special situations. This could not be managed by medical personnel on a
daily basis, but requires an educated patient who has a good knowledge of
the disease, understands his medical therapy and is able to perform...

Efficacy and Safety of Stereotactic Radiotherapy in Cushing ’s
Disease: A Single Center Experience
Conclusion In this current single center experience,
postoperative cortisol and 1mg DST levels were found as the determinants of
time to remission. Although medical therapy before RT did not affect the
rate of- and time to remission, medical therapy after RT prolonged the time
to biochemical control . This latter finding might suggest a radioprotective
effect of cortisol lowering medication use on peri-RT period. [...] © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents | Abstract | Full text (Source: Experimen...
