Journal ArticleDOI
Body composition, bone metabolism, and heart structure and function in growth hormone (GH)-deficient adults before and after GH replacement therapy at low doses.
Giovanni Amato,Carlo Carella,S Fazio,G. La Montagna,Antonio Cittadini,D Sabatini,C Marciano-Mone,L Sacca,Antonio Bellastella +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that prolonged GH deficiency induces alterations in body composition and bone metabolism and density, and impairment of cardiac structure and function in adult life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac Effects of Long Term Thyrotropin-Suppressive Therapy with Levothyroxine*
Bernadette Biondi,S Fazio,Carlo Carella,Giovanni Amato,Antonio Cittadini,Giovanni Lupoli,L Sacca,Antonio Bellastella,Gaetano Lombardi +8 more
TL;DR: To investigate the effects of long term thyroid hormone suppressive therapy on the heart, 20 patients were evaluated by noninvasive techniques, and two patients showed abnormal electrocardiograms for left ventricular hypertrophy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum and follicular fluid cytokines in polycystic ovary syndrome during stimulated cycles
Giovanni Amato,Marisa Conte,Gherardo Mazziotti,Eleonora Lalli,Gabriella Vitolo,Arthur T Tucker,Antonio Bellastella,Carlo Carella,Alfredo Izzo +8 more
TL;DR: Results suggest an involvement of the immune system in PCOS and higher serum and follicular fluid tumor necrosis factor–α and interleukin-6 concentrations in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Journal ArticleDOI
Interferon-α-Related Thyroid Disease: Pathophysiological, Epidemiological, and Clinical Aspects
TL;DR: This review will discuss relevant studies concerning IFN-induced thyroid disease to identify the clinical strategies helpful for the appropriate management of patients developing this disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of adrenergic overactivity by beta-blockade improves the quality of life in patients receiving long term suppressive therapy with levothyroxine.
Bernadette Biondi,Serafino Fazio,Carlo Carella,D Sabatini,Giovanni Amato,Antonio Cittadini,Antonio Bellastella,G. Lombardi,Luigi Saccà +8 more
TL;DR: The findings show that the addition of bisoprolol to L-T4 suppressive therapy produces a normalization of heart rate, which was significantly increased during TSH suppressive Therapy, and the disappearance of atrial arrhythmias with considerable reduction of palpitations.
