Using the isolated perfused rat pancreas PGE2 (1 MUM and 10 muM) had no effect on basal or glucose (10 and 20 mM)-induced insulin release (IR). PGF2 alpha stimulated basal IR at 1 muM and inhibited IR at 10 muM. The glucose-induced IR was unaffected by this PG. Furosemide (5 and 10 mM) led to a monophastic IR at low glucose (glu) and to a potentiation of IR at high glu. Only high indomethacin (Indo) (50 microgram/ml) inhibited glu-induced IR. The stimulatory effect of furosemide on IR could not be inhibited by indomethacin. However mepacrine (0.1 mM) abolished the furosemide effect. Also glu-induced IR was inhibited by mepacrine. Acetylsalicylic acid (30 mg/100 ml) had no significant influence on glu-induced IR. These findings provide evidence that phospholipase activation rather than increased PG synthesis might primarily be involved in the secretory process of insulin.

Effect of a GnRH injection on kisspeptin levels in girls with suspected precocious puberty: a randomized-controlled pilot study.
J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
Department of Paediatrics, School of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health, Örebro University, Örebro, Sweden.
Objectives: Kisspeptin plays a major role in the onset of puberty by stimulating the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons. The aim of this study was to investigate whether GnRH inhibits kisspeptin secretion via a negative feedback mechanism and potential associations between kisspeptin levels and other hormones of importance for pubertal onset.
Methods: Thirteen girls with suspected central precocious puberty underwent a GnRH stimulation test twice in a randomized, placebo-controlled manner.
Insulin degludec 100 U/mL for treatment of spontaneous diabetes mellitus in dogs.
J Vet Intern Med
January 2025
Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA.
Background: The advantages of insulin degludec 100 U/mL (IDeg100) in the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM) include consistent release, predictable glucose-lowering effect, and minimal day-to-day variability.
Hypothesis/objectives: To describe the use of IDeg100 in dogs with DM, level of diabetic control and adverse effects.
Animals: Thirty-three client-owned dogs with DM.
Insulin dependence as an independent predictor of complications following surgical treatment of distal radius fracture.
Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol
January 2025
Stony Brook University Hospital, Stony Brook, USA.
Purpose: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well-established risk factor for postoperative complications. Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are a common orthopedic injury and often require open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). The rise of ORIF utilization warrants investigation into factors that may expose patients to postoperative complications following DRF ORIF.

Objectives: The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) provocation test is crucial for diagnosing central precocious puberty (CPP). However, due to its invasion and high cost, it is essential to find a simpler biomarker. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of fasting insulin (FINS) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) as potential biomarkers for diagnosing girls with CPP and to analyze their effects on puberty development.

School of Pharmacy, Xinjiang Medical University, Urumchi, China.
Background: In the Kazakh community of Xinjiang, China, fermented camel milk has been traditionally used to manage diabetes. This study evaluates the effects of composite probiotics derived from fermented camel milk (CPCM) on metabolic disturbances in a rat model of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Methods: T2DM was induced in Wistar rats using streptozotocin.
