Comparison between euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp and surrogate indices of insulin sensitivity in children with growth hormone deficiency
2018
Objective: Data about the impact of growth hormone treatment (GHT) on insulin sensitivity in children are quite controversial, due to the different surrogate indices that have been used. Design: We evaluated insulin sensitivity through the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp, considered the gold standard technique, in 23 children affected by growth hormone deficiency (GHD) at baseline and after 12. months of GHT and in 12 controls with short stature at baseline, and we compared the clamp-derived index (M-value) with the most commonly used surrogate index of insulin sensitivity, as ISI Matsuda, and with circulating plasma markers of insulin sensitivity, as adiponectin and resistin levels.

Does hormone treatment help Polish transgender individuals cope with stress?
2023
Introduction: The results of Polish studies indicate that transgender individuals have lower quality of life than cisgender people. Research shows that hormone treatment and transition-related surgeries can buffer the stress’ impact on the quality of life of transgender people. The objective of this study was to explore whether hormone treatment and transition-related surgeries moderate in the relationship between stress and life satisfaction in transgender individuals. Material and methods: One hundred twenty-four transgender individuals in the age between 18 and 53 years old (M = 23.60; SD = 6.32) participated in the presented study — 41 transgender women and 83 transgender men.
