Journal ArticleDOI
Ghrelin and adipose tissue regulatory peptides: effect of gastric bypass surgery in obese humans.
Camilla Holdstock,Britt Edén Engström,Margareta Öhrvall,Lars Lind,Magnus Sundbom,F. Anders Karlsson +5 more
TL;DR: No evidence for RYGBP surgery per se having an effect on ghrelin levels, independent of weight loss, was obtained, but profound changes in the regulatory peptides are likely to reflect the new state of energy balance achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved cortisol exposure-time profile and outcome in patients with adrenal insufficiency: a prospective randomized trial of a novel hydrocortisone dual-release formulation.
Gudmundur Johannsson,Anna G Nilsson,Ragnhildur Bergthorsdottir,Pia Burman,Per Dahlqvist,Bertil Ekman,Britt Edén Engström,Tommy Olsson,Oskar Ragnarsson,Mats Ryberg,J Wahlberg,Beverly M. K. Biller,John P Monson,Paul M. Stewart,Hans Lennernäs,Stanko Skrtic +15 more
TL;DR: Compared with conventional TID, OD provided a sustained serum cortisol profile 0-4 h after the morning intake and reduced the late afternoon and the 24-h cortisol exposure, and glucose metabolism improved in patients with concomitant DM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low Dose Dehydroepiandrosterone Affects Behavior in Hypopituitary Androgen-Deficient Women: A Placebo-Controlled Trial
Gudmundur Johannsson,P Burman,Lena Wirén,Britt Edén Engström,Anna Nilsson,Malin Ottosson,Björn Jonsson,Bengt-Åke Bengtsson,F. Anders Karlsson +8 more
TL;DR: Oral administration of a low dose of DHEA to adult hypopituitary women induced androgen effects on skin and axillary and pubic hair as well as changes in behavior, with only minor effects on metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of growth hormone (GH) on ghrelin, leptin, and adiponectin in GH-deficient patients.
TL;DR: The observed correlation between the changes in ghrelin and IGF-I may suggest that the GH/IGF-I axis has a negative feedback on gh Relin secretion, possibly promoting loss of body fat in GH-deficient patients receiving treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in the effects of long term growth hormone (GH) treatment on bone in adults with GH deficiency.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the sensitivity to GH in adult patients with GH deficiency is gender dependent and rhGH treatment continued to have an effect on bone metabolism and bone mass for up to 45 months of therapy.
