The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of epinephrine in insulin-treated diabetics (DM) compared with nondiabetic (ND) controls during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A retrospective analysis from a multicenter study of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest included 62 DM and 1,151 ND. Outcome parameters included return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), blood pressure (BP), emergency department admissions (EDA), hospital admissions (HA), and hospital discharge (DC). In DM treated with standard-dose epinephrine (SDE), there were trends toward improved ROSC, BP, EDA, and HA compared with ND. DC was not different. With high-dose epinephrine (HDE) these outcomes were not different. Comparison of the outcomes of DM given SDE versus those given HDE were not different. However, none of the DM given HDE (n = 24) were discharged from the hospital. These results suggest that DM may have improved resuscitation rates with SDE and may be adversely affected with HDE. Larger prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Aim: To describe the effects of Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) in patients with familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) assessed in a real-life setting in a national reference network.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively collected clinical and metabolic parameters in patients with FPLD in the French lipodystrophy reference network, who initiated GLP-1RA. Data were recorded before, at one-year (12 ± 6 months) and at the latest follow-up on GLP-1RA therapy (≥18 months).

Alterations in serum concentrations of visfatin and betatrophin in dogs with diabetes mellitus.

Domest Anim Endocrinol

Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Koret School of Veterinary Medicine, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, P.O. Box 12, Rehovot, Israel. Electronic address:

Canine diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. Visfatin and betatrophin are adipokines involved in the pathophysiology of insulin resistance and deranged lipid metabolism, and are also altered in obesity. We hypothesized that visfatin and betatrophin serum concentrations are altered in diabetic dogs, irrespective of their body condition.

Correct classification of type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is challenging due to overlapping clinical features and the increasingly early onset of T2D, particularly in South Asians. Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for T1D and T2D have been shown to work relatively well in South Asians, despite being derived from largely European-ancestry samples. Here we used PRSs to investigate the rate of potential misclassification of diabetes amongst British Bangladeshis and Pakistanis.

Objectives: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with an increased risk of both neonatal and maternal morbidity. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the frequency of perinatal complications due to GDM in the Department of Neonatology at the Medical University of Wroclaw, Poland, considering the treatment of GDM-diet and physical activity versus insulin therapy. The influence of maternal comorbidities and the COVID-19 pandemic on pregnancy outcomes was assessed.

PTHrP Promotes RBP4 Expression Under the Control of PPARγ in the Kidney.

Int J Mol Sci

December 2024

Departamento de Ciencias Básicas de la Salud, Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Avda. de Atenas s/n, 28922 Alcorcón, Madrid, Spain.

Article Synopsis
  • PTHrP and RBP4 are linked to worse kidney disease outcomes, and their relationship with PPARγ, a protective nuclear receptor, was investigated.
  • The study examined levels of these proteins in different mouse models, including controls, diabetics, and those overexpressing PTHrP.
  • Findings indicated that RBP4 and PTHrP levels increase during kidney pathology, suggesting that insulin and PPARγ play crucial roles in regulating their expression to maintain kidney health.
