Acromegaly Presenting With Cricoarytenoid Joint Arthropathy

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Excess growth hormone in acromegaly induces characteristic acral and soft tissue overgrowth (particularly in the face and hands), arthropathies, as well as cardiovascular and metabolic complications. Similar proliferative changes can occur in the larynx, where hypertrophy of the arytenoid and cricoid cartilages may impair vocal fold mobility.

Luteinizing hormone receptor knockout mouse: What has it taught us?

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Luteinizing hormone (LH), along with its agonist choriongonadotropin (hCG) in humans, is the key hormone responsible for the tropic regulation of the gonadal function. LH and hCG act through their cognate receptor, the luteinizing hormone/choriongonadotropin receptor (LHCGR; more appropriately LHR in rodents lacking CG), located in the testis ...

Insulin Resistance in Patients With Acromegaly

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Acromegaly is characterized by chronic overproduction of growth hormone (GH) that leads to insulin resistance, glucose intolerance and, ultimately, diabetes. The GH-induced sustained stimulation of lipolysis plays a major role not only in the development

Exploring Brain Parenchymal Changes in Acromegaly: Focus on White Matter Hyperintensities

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Acromegaly is a rare chronic disease caused by excessive secretion of growth hormone. Even with biochemical control, hormonal imbalance may lead to cerebral changes. This study aimed to evaluate the presence of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in patients with acromegaly.
