Type B insulin resistance (IR) is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of insulin receptor autoantibodies, resulting in a marked IR inducing hyperglycemia. Our first case is a 42-year-old female with a ...

Insulin analogues, developed by molecular engineering, have structural changes in the A and B insulin chains. These modifications change their action profile, rendering insulin replacement closer to physiology. Rapid acting ...

Pregnancy hypertensive disorders such as preeclampsia (PE) are strongly correlated with insulin resistance, a condition in which the metabolic handling of D-glucose is deficient. In addition, the impact of preeclampsia ...

Abstract: Most of women with a diagnose of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a disease characterised by glucose intolerance and first diagnosed in pregnancy, are subjected to a controlled diet (GDMd) aiming to reach ...

A total of 12 women (24.2 ± 1.6 years old, BMI 36.7 ± 1.5 Kg/m2) with hyperandrogenism (HA) and with normal glucose tolerance test were studied to evaluate the involvement of endogenous opioids in the pathophysiology of ...

Aims: The effects of glargine insulin therapy in pregnancies are not well established. We compared maternal and neonatal outcomes of women with pregestational and gestational diabetes treated with glargine or NPH ...
