Association between serum Mg2+ concentrations and cardiovascular organ damage in a cohort of adult subjects [PDF]
Magnesium (Mg2+) levels are associated with insulin resistance, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). We evaluated the clinical utility of physiological Mg2+ in assessing subclinical cardiovascular organ damage including increased ...

Acromegaly with initial negative oral glucose tolerance test: a case report
Background Acromegaly can be diagnosed by a growth hormone value ≥ 1 µg/L following an oral glucose tolerance test. However, normal growth hormone suppression following oral glucose tolerance test may not exclude acromegaly.
