Article Synopsis
- Kisspeptins are neuropeptides linked to reproduction that bind to GPR54, increasing significantly during pregnancy, mainly from the placenta.
- Their levels are associated with various pregnancy-related conditions, with decreased kisspeptin linked to gestational diabetes, fetal growth restriction, and spontaneous abortion.
- The study highlights the need for further research on kisspeptin's role in predicting complications like preeclampsia and preterm birth, despite existing inconsistencies in its concentration during these conditions.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as a glucose tolerance disorder with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. GDM is associated with several adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Management to reduce the incidence of GDM could decrease the incidence of these complications.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcromegaly is a rare disease caused by overproduction of growth hormone (GH) by a pituitary adenoma, and consequently increased insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) concentration. The GH/IGF-1 axis and immune cells interactions are hypothesized to be involved in subclinical inflammation. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the differences in neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) ratios, and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in GH-secreting adenomas compared with non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) concerning clinical and radiological findings.
