In some previous studies, acute administration of some antidepressants has been reported to cause significant changes in the levels of blood glucose and insulin in the rabbit. In the present study the effects of several antidepressants representing classical groups of antidepressants, namely imipramine (CAS 50-49-7, I), maprotiline (CAS 10347-81-6, M) and bupropion (CAS 34911-55-2, (B) on insulin secretion from the isolated islets of Langerhans in mice was studied. Maprotiline and bupropion stimulated insulin release, while imipramine was without any effect in presence of 8.3 mmol/l glucose. On the other hand, in presence of 16.7 mmol/l imipramine and maprotiline suppressed the stimulated insulin secretion. Bupropion inversely significantly stimulated the insulin secretion in presence of 16.7 mmol/l glucose. It is concluded that the changes of blood glucose and plasma insulin observed in vivo may at least in part be due to respective changes of insulin secretion. The treatment of diabetic patients receiving antidepressant drugs with hypoglycaemic agents should be taken in consideration.

Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a special type of diabetes characterized by clinical features including early onset of diabetes (before 30 years of age), autosomal dominant inheritance, impaired glucose-induced insulin secretion, and hyperglycemia. So far, 14 types of MODY have been reported, accounting for about 1%-5% of the patients with diabetes. MODY often presents with an insidious onset, and although 14 subtypes have been identified for MODY, it is frequently misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes due to overlapping clinical features and high costs and limitations of genetic testing.

Context: Statin treatment lowers low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol thereby reducing cardiovascular risk. Meta-analyses of clinical trials report a higher risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes with statins. Current clinical evidence regarding effects of statins on insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function is limited.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder in women of reproductive age. Anovulation is one of the most important clinical features of PCOS, and insulin resistance (IR) is one of the critical pathogenic factors. Woxuanzhongzhou (WXZZ) is a traditional herbal formulation that has shown efficacy in treating PCOS combined with IR, but the underlying mechanism is not clear.

Purpose: Our study aimed to discern disparities in metabolic, hormonal profiles, and comorbidities among patients with pituitary Cushing (PC), adrenal Cushing (AC), and Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis involving 76 patients diagnosed with PC ( = 26), AC ( = 21), and MACS ( = 29) at our clinic. We compared the groups' demographic data, clinical characteristics, biochemical profiles, hormonal analyses, and surgical interventions.
