Background: Endothelial dysfunction (ED), an early indicator of atherosclerosis, is a well-established predictor of cardiovascular disease. This study investigates ED in children with rare genetic variants linked to obesity and explores the prevalenc...
Background: Osteoporotic fractures are a common clinical sign of Cushing syndrome (CS). However, Cushing diagnosis can occur years after this clinical manifestation. Methods: Herein, we present the case of a 45-year-old woman who was referred to our...
Background: The ketogenic diet (KD), characterized by high-fat content, virtually no carbohydrates, and adequate protein intake, induces a metabolic state resembling fasting, as the absence of carbohydrates forces the body to rely on the energetic su...
Over the past few years, we have witnessed many advances in the understanding of diabetes and its management. Greater insight into pathogenesis has led to the approval of the first immunopreventative therapy for T1DM. We are using non-insulin agents...
Background: Granulosa cells are somatic cells within the ovarian follicle. As the primary site of estradiol production, they are critical regulators of several aspects of female reproduction. This review aims to provide an overview of the physiology...
Background: The visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a composite marker designed to quantify visceral adiposity and its metabolic implications. It integrates anthropometric (such as waist circumference and BMI) and metabolic parameters (including trigly...
Precocious puberty (PP) requires appropriate management to prevent short adult height, psychosocial issues, and other adverse outcomes. Genetic diagnosis potentially improves the management of PP. Pathogenic NR0B1 variants, which typically cause X-li...
Background: Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and antral follicle count are key in evaluating ovarian reserve (OR) for fertility. The performance of the Siemens Healthineers AMH assay was assessed on the ADVIA Centaur® System. Method...
Introduction: During the formation of neural circuits, the developing brain demonstrates extraordinary plasticity, heavily influenced by hormones. These chemical messengers interact with specific receptors to regulate vital physiological functions. T...
Background/Objectives: There is a bidirectional relationship between major depressive disorder (MDD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), as MDD increases the risk of T2D by 38% to 67%, and T2D increases the risk of MDD by 15% to 33%. Many factors contribute t...
