Background Changes in routine clinical chemical indicators of renal function in the hypothyroid
state are not well characterized, and are infrequently discussed in standard internal …

We compared glucoregulatory responses to intense exercise (14 min at 88% maximum O 2
uptake) between genders (16 men, 12 women). Analysis of covariance of maximum O 2 …

We propose that hyperinsulinemia stimulates protein synthesis when postabsorptive plasma
amino acid (AA) concentrations are maintained. During a euglycemic hyperinsulinemic …

Intense exercise (IE) (>80% V̇o 2max ) causes a seven- to eightfold increase in glucose
production (R a ) and a fourfold increase in glucose uptake (R d ), resulting in hyperglycemia, …

A role for the increase in circulating norepinephrine (NE) during intense exercise [IE; ≥80%
maximum O 2 uptake (V̇O 2max )] in the marked increment in glucose rate of production (…

The glucoregulatory response to intense exercise [IE, >80% maximum O 2 uptake (Vo 2
max )] comprises a marked increment in glucose production (R a ) and a lesser increment in …

Thyroid storm is a rare but potentially fatal condition that is most frequently associated with
Graves' disease. We present the case of a young woman who presented in thyroid storm, later …

Discussion Pheochromocytoma associated with pregnancy is so rare that the incidence is
difficult to estimate. One series reported an incidence of 0.007% in a 22-year review of 30 246 …

A seven- to eightfold increment in hepatic glucose production (endogenous R a ) occurs in
postabsorptive (PA) intense exercise (IE). A similar response is likely present in the …

BACKGROUND: The recommended tests for evaluation of glucose tolerance in cystic fibrosis
are the fasting blood glucose (FBG) and the 75-g, fasting, 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (…
