Hyperinsulinemia in hyperthecosis of the ovaries

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1986
Fasting insulin concentrations and the insulin response to an oral glucose tolerance test were measured in six virilized women with ovarian hyperthecosis and six weight-matched normal women. For comparison, six women with polycystic ovarian disease were also studied.

Hypertension and Hyperinsulinemia

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 1991
Hypertension may be either accentuated or caused by hyperinsulinemia secondary to insulin resistance. The role of hyperinsulinemia has been most clearly defined in those people with upper body obesity who frequently have hypertension, abnormal glucose tolerance, and dyslipidemia.

Ovarian Dysfunction in Peripubertal Hyperinsulinemia

Journal of the Society for Gynecologic Investigation, 2006
Increasing evidence suggests that hyperinsulinemia plays an important role in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the timing for the onset of hyperinsulinemia is not clear. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of peripubertal hyperinsulinemia on the maturing female reproductive axis.Hyperinsulinemia was ...

Hyperinsulinemia and Triglyceride-Rich Lipoproteins

Diabetes, 1996
Hypertriglyceridemia is the most frequent form of hyperlipidemia seen in diabetes. Because hypertriglyceridemia and hyperinsulinemia often coexist in the general population and because patients with NIDDM generally are hyperinsulinemic, we have undertaken a series of in vivo studies to examine the effects of hyperinsulinemia on VLDL production.

Hyperinsulinemia in glucose intolerance: Is it true?

Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 1994
To evaluate whether beta-cell hyperfunction characterizes glucose intolerant states per se independent of fasting glycemia, we conducted a case-control study among 430 subjects who were classified, by NDGG criteria, as having normal glucose tolerance (n = 230, 130M/130F), nondiagnostic tolerance (NDT, n = 100, 50M/50F) and impaired glucose tolerance ...

Acanthosis Nigricans: A Marker for Hyperinsulinemia

Pediatric Dermatology, 1995
Abstract: A 12‐year‐old girl developed acanthosis nigricans due to increased levels of serum insulin. Hyperinsuiinemia has been recognized as the underlying cause in most cases of acanthosis nigricans. In this paper we outline a typical clinical case with special regard to the proposed pathogenesis.

Hyperinsulinemia and VLDL Kinetics

1993
The most frequent lipoprotein abnormality in diabetes mellitus is hypertriglyceridemia. The frequency of hypercholesterolemia is not very different from that found in the nondiabetic population.1,2 In those diabetic individuals who are grossly insulin deficient, the hypertriglyceridemia is due to an accumulation of chylomicrons, the primary ...

Hypoglycemia and hodgkin's disease with hyperinsulinemia

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 1982
AbstractA case report is presented here in which Hodgkin's disease with persistent hypoglycemia and hyperinsulinemia was present requiring constant 10% glucose infusions to prevent symptoms. Subtotal pancreatectomy with excision of adjacent Hodgkin's disease has relieved hypoglycemia and hyperinsulinemia.

Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia: is hyperinsulinemia the cart or the horse?

Diabetes care, 2008
Insulin resistance, recently recognized as a strong predictor of disease in adults, has become the leading element of the metabolic syndrome and renewed as a focus of research. The condition exists when insulin levels are higher than expected relative to the level of glucose. Thus, insulin resistance is by definition tethered to hyperinsulinemia.
