A single bout of physical exercise improves 1-hour post-load plasma glucose in healthy young adults.

Purpose: Physical exercise is a key component in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and plays an important role in maintaining a healthy glucose metabolism even in healthy subjects. To date, no studies have investigated the effect of a single bout of aerobic physical exercise on glucose metabolism in young, moderately active, healthy adults.

Methods: We performed an OGTT 7 days before and 24 h after a single bout of physical exercise, to evaluate 1-hour post-load plasma glucose and surrogate indexes of insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion.

Graves' Disease in Hypopituitarism Due to Pituitary Apoplexy.

Background: Central hypothyroidism and autoimmune hyperthyroidism are contrasting pathologies requiring careful hormone monitoring for restoring euthyroidism. Their coexistence is rare and challenging for clinicians [1, 2].

Case Report: We have, herein, presented the case of a 41-year-old female patient with an unremarkable clinical history except for chronic autoimmune thyroiditis in euthyroidism.
