Association of cholesterol oxidation and abnormalities in fatty acid metabolism in cystic fibrosis.

Background: Disarrangement in fatty acids and oxidative stress are features of cystic fibrosis. Cholesterol is very sensitive to oxidative stress.

Objectives: The objectives were to examine whether cholesterol oxidation products are altered in cystic fibrosis and whether they are associated with fatty acids and with characteristics of the disease state.

Use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in patients with cystic fibrosis related diabetes: three case reports.

Unlabelled: We used insulin pump therapy in three patients (two males and one female; age 5.5, 21 and 28.2 years, respectively) with CFRD and we reported the experience of 2 years of follow-up.
