Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to understand how body mass index (BMI) affects the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) in girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) during gonadorelin (GnRH) stimulation testing.
- - Among 865 girls studied, those of normal weight had significantly higher peak LH levels after GnRH stimulation compared to those who were overweight or obese, showing a clear correlation between BMI and LH response.
- - The findings suggest that a higher BMI leads to a lower LH response to GnRH in girls with ICPP, indicating that BMI should be a factor to consider when analyzing GnRH stimulation test results.
Changing epidemiology of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes in Chinese youth.
Curr Diab Rep
January 2014
China is gradually taking its place as one of the world's economic giants and concurrently learning to understand how to bear the burdens of diseases that are more common in the fully developed world, such as pediatric obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this review is to consolidate the available information regarding these and draw the focus toward their sequential progression and increasing prevalence in Chinese children. Studies were collected in both English and Chinese, and the data were reviewed on the basis of disease prevalence and risk factors that are known from scientific literature that has been published to date.
