Diabetes Secondary to Acromegaly: Physiopathology, Clinical Features and Effects of Treatment
Acromegaly is a rare disease due to chronic GH excess and to the consequent increase in IGF-1 levels. Both GH and IGF-1 play a role in intermediate metabolism affecting glucose homeostasis. Indeed, chronic GH excess impairs insulin sensitivity, increases

Abstract Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is an effective treatment for both oncological and hormone control and is a widely accepted standard of care treatment for patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN). Its use is anticipated to increase significantly, and this demands accurate tools and paradigms to assess treatment response post ...

E‐cadherin expression is associated with somatostatin analogue response in acromegaly
Acromegaly is a rare disease resulting from hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) and insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF1) typically caused by pituitary adenomas, which is associated with increased mortality and morbidity.

Non-invasive DXA-derived bone structure assessment of acromegaly patients: a cross-sectional study.
Introduction Impaired bone microarchitecture is involved in vertebral fracture (VF) development among acromegaly patients. Aim of the study Comparison of DXA-derived bone parameters, areal BMD (aBMD), trabecular bone score (TBS) and 3D-SHAPER parameters ...

A case of acromegaly complicated with diabetic ketoacidosis, pituitary apoplexy, and lymphoma
Acromegaly is always complicated with comorbidities and increased mortality. The disease activity and mortality outcomes are highly correlated to the level of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1.
