TERAPIA CON MECASERMINA IN UN BAMBINO CON IPERINSULINISMO CONGENITO DA MUTAZIONE DI INS-R

2017

PRESENTAZIONE DEL CASO, STORIA CLINICA E SINTOMATOLOGIA L’uso per fi ni terapeutici della Mecasermina, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) umano ricombinante trova indicazione nella terapia della bassa statura di bambini con un defi cit primitivo documentato di IGF-1. Il Leprecaunismo, noto come S. di Donohue, è una rara patologia congenita caratterizzata da insulino-resistenza, severo defi cit accrescitivo intra-uterino e post-natale, fenotipie caratteristiche, alterazione del controllo dell’assetto glicemico, con iperinsulinismo e iperandrogenismo associato. L’outcome prognostico è segnato da morte entro il primo anno di vita in quasi tutti i pazienti descritti. Descriviamo l’outcome di u…

Cavity Resonator Integrated Guided mode resonance Filter : Spectral & Modal Reflector

2015

International audience; CRIGF is a new generation of narrowband filter. It consists of subwavelength gratings nearby or upon a waveguide. At the center, a small GMRF (Guided Mode Resonance Filter) or GC (Grating Coupler) coupled radiated & guided mode, then, DBR (Distributed Bragg Reflector) at each side localise mode inside a horizontal Fabry-Pérot cavity. Two PS (Phase sections) are use to fine tune the Fabry-Pérot modes with the grating coupler.

The effect of exercise intensity and exercise environment on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and physiologic parameters in young male skiers

2017

Ruostekoski, Anni. 2017. Intensiivisen intervalliharjoituksen ja harjoitusympäristön vaikutus aivoperäiseen hermokasvutekijään ja fysiologisiin vasteisiin nuorilla mieshiihtäjillä. Liikuntabiologia, Jyväskylän yliopisto, Liikuntafysiologian Pro Gradu- tutkielma, 64s. Johdanto. Tutkimukset ovat osoittaneet, että liikunnalla ja aivojen hyvinvoinnilla on selkeä yhteys. Liikunnan aivoille suotuisten vaikutusten välittäjäaineena näyttää toimivan aivoperäinen hermokasvutekijä (BDNF). Liikunnan on osoitettu akuutisti nostavan veren BDNF- pitoisuutta ja BDNF- pitoisuuden nousu näyttää olevan riippuvainen liikunnan intensiteetistä, sekä taito- vaatimuksista. Myös kortisoli ja IGF-1 saattavat liittyä…

Inhibition of TSH/IGF-1 Receptor Crosstalk by Teprotumumab as a Treatment Modality of Thyroid Eye Disease

2021

Abstract Context We previously presented evidence that TSH receptor (TSHR)-stimulating autoantibodies (TSAbs) bind to and activate TSHRs but do not bind to IGF1 receptors (IGF1Rs). Nevertheless, we showed that IGF1Rs were involved in thyroid eye disease (TED) pathogenesis because TSAbs activated crosstalk between TSHR and IGF1R. Teprotumumab, originally generated to inhibit IGF1 binding to IGF1R, was recently approved for the treatment of TED (Tepezza). Objective To investigate the role of TSHR/IGF1R crosstalk in teprotumumab treatment of TED. Design We used orbital fibroblasts from patients with TED (TEDOFs) and measured stimulated hyaluronan (HA) secretion as a measure of orbital fibrobla…

Effects of combined hormone replacement therapy or its effective agents on the IGF-1 pathway in skeletal muscle.

2010

Objectives To investigate the effects of combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and its effective agents on the IGF-1 signaling pathway. Design and methods To examine the effects of HRT on skeletal muscle in vivo, we utilized pre- and post-intervention samples from a randomized double blinded trial with 50–57-year-old women. The intervention included the year-long use of either HRT preparation (2 mg 17β-estradiol, E2; 1 mg norethisterone acetate, NETA, n = 10) or placebo (CO, n = 9). Microarray technology and quantitative PCR (qPCR) were used to study the expression of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) and its splice variants as well as IGF-1 receptor, Akt1, mTOR, FOXO1, FOXO3, atrog…

Hormonikorvaushoidon vaikutus lihaksen lihassolutyyppeihin ja insuliinin kaltaiseen kasvutekijä 1:een ikääntyvillä naisilla

2010

Ikääntymisen myötä luustolihaksen rakenteessa ja toiminnassa tapahtuu monia muutoksia, jotka vaikuttavat lihaksen massaan ja suorituskykyyn heikentävästi. Lihassolujen määrä ja koko vähenee sekä rasva- ja sidekudoksen määrä lihaksessa kasvaa. Näihin muutoksiin vaikuttavat mm. hormonaaliset tekijät, mutta taustalla olevia tarkkoja mekanismeja ei vielä tunneta. Naisilla lihasvoiman heikkenemisen on havaittu kiihtyvän vaihdevuosi-iässä ja hormonikorvaushoidon on havaittu hidastavan tätä ilmiötä. Kaikki tutkimukset eivät kuitenkaan ole antaneet yhdenmukaisia tuloksia. Estrogeeni on kuitenkin yksi todennäköinen vaikuttaja lihaksen toiminnan säätelyssä, ja lihassolujen onkin todettu ilmentävän se…

Hormone replacement therapy enhances IGF-1 signaling in skeletal muscle by diminishing miR-182 and miR-233 expressions: A study on postmenopausal mon…

2014

MiRNAs are fine-tuning modifiers of skeletal muscle regulation, but knowledge of their hormonal control is lacking. We used a co-twin case–control study design, that is, monozygotic postmenopausal twin pairs discordant for estrogen-based hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to explore estrogen-dependent skeletal muscle regulation via miRNAs. MiRNA profiles were determined from vastus lateralis muscle of nine healthy 54–62- years-old monozygotic female twin pairs discordant for HRT (median 7 years). MCF-7 cells, human myoblast cultures and mouse muscle experiments were used to confirm estrogen’s causal role on the expression of specific miRNAs, their target mRNAs and proteins and finally the ac…

Serum sex-hormone binding globulin and cortisol concentrations are associated with overreaching during strenuous military training

2011

The purpose was (a) to study the effect of an 8-week Finnish military basic training period (BT) on physical fitness, body composition, mood state, and serum biochemical parameters among new conscripts; (b) to determine the incidence of overreaching (OR); and (c) to evaluate whether initial levels or training responses differ between OR and noOR subjects. Fifty-seven males (19.7 ± 0.3 years) were evaluated before and during BT. Overreaching subjects had to fulfill 3 of 5 criteria: decreased aerobic physical fitness (VO2max), increased rating of perceived exertion (RPE) in 45-minute submaximal test at 70% of VO2max or sick absence from these tests, increased somatic or emotional symptoms of …
