Article Synopsis
- This study assesses glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with controlled acromegaly, focusing on whether these factors vary by treatment type.
- Twenty-one patients in stable condition were evaluated after different treatment methods, including surgery and drugs, with no significant differences found in glucose tolerance or insulin sensitivity among the groups.
- The research indicates that lower IGF1 levels may correlate with improved metabolic markers, suggesting that managing IGF1 could be important for better health outcomes in acromegaly patients.
