  • Title: [Endocrine disorders associated with impaired glucose tolerance].
    Author: Ogino Y, Toriumi M, Tanaka K.
    Journal: Nihon Rinsho; 1996 Oct; 54(10):2667-71. PubMed ID: 8914425.
    Abstract:
    Endocrine disorders associated with diabetes mellitus are described. When blood glucose control deteriorates, observed endocrine abnormalities are as follows. 1) Blood GH levels increase. This elevation is small but enough to disturb insulin secretion and glucose metabolism. Plama insulin-like growth factor-1 levels decrease in spite of their strong relation with diabetic retinopathy. 2) Blood thyroid hormones show the similarity with low T3 syndrome. 3) Hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism occurs especially with patients who have hypertension or moderate diabetic complications. 4) Plasma pancreatic glucagon levels are elevated. Amino acids induce hypersecretion but hypoglycemia fails to response normally. Glucose administration shows impaired inhibition or paradoxical hypersecretion. 5) Other plasma levels of pancreatic hormones such as gastrin, secretin, motilin and somatostatin are usually elevated.
