Objective: To investigate the sex differences in cardiac autonomic modulation in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and to determine whether cardiac autonomic modulation is associated with glycemic variability.
Research Design And Methods: We investigated a cohort consisting of 48 men and 39 women with non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes and a known duration of diabetes <5 years. All patients were equipped with a continuous glucose monitoring sensor for 3 days, and the mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE) was calculated to obtain individual glycemic variability.
Purpose: To evaluate implementation of at test battery for assessing physical function in adults with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS).
Method: Forty-three adults with PWS, 20 men and 23 women, mean age 29 +/- 9 years. Body mass index (BMI) and body composition were measured.
Pituitary GH secretion is feedback regulated by circulating IGF-I. However, it remains to be determined whether the feedback control is mediated through circulating free or total IGF-I. To study this, we compared the temporal changes in circulating levels of GH vs.
