ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: In the present work we examined the incretin role of gut glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) in the insulin overresponse to meal ingestion found in states of hypersomatotrophism. In this context, we studied IRI secretion after i.v. infusion of glucose alone (0.6 g/kg/h) and also combined with GIP (0.4 _g/kg/h) in dogs during the control period and after subcutaneous administration of bovine growth hormone (bGH, 1 mg/kg), in randomized experiments at fortnightly intervals. Plasma levels of immunoreactive b-GH (IRbGH) showed a comparable elevation at 24 h from each bGH injection. Coinciding with this rise, fasting plasma glucose was within the normal range and basal plasma levels of immunoreactive GIP (IR-GIP) remained unchanged. When GIP was given, there was a significant increase in IR-GIP plasma levels after 10 min of infusion, to a plateau near 200 pmol/l; the values were not influenced by concurrent administration of glucose with or without prior treatment with bGH. In the control observations, glucose infusion caused an insulin response area (IRA, pmol_min_l_1) of 3150_733. When GIP was co-infused with glucose, the IRA was enhanced to 6203_1380, p<0.005. After the administration of bGH, the infusion of glucose alone incresed the IRA to 9580_1446 (p<0.001) and to 15906_2943 (p<0.001) when GIP was co-infused with glucose. The data suggest that in this state of high circulating levels of growth hormone of short duration, the secretion of insulin in response to the stimulus of glucose alone and also combined with GIP is clearly enhanced. The findings therefore lend support for the explanation of the high insulin secretion evoked by food intake in growth hormone-treated dogs.

ABSTRACT

Estudiamos 325 historias clínicas de pacientes con enfermedad de la tiroides que asistieron al servicio de endocrinología del Hospital Vargas y comparamos el diagnóstico inmunológico de tiroidítis crónica(TC) establecido por anticuerpos antiperoxidasas (AAP) con el estudio cito histológico del material obtenido por la biopsia por punción con aguja fina y gruesa (BPAFG) de la tiroides, demostrándose una sensibilidad del 62 por ciento y una especificidad del 96,7 por ciento del método citado en primer lugar. La relación entre el diagnóstico funcional de la tiroides por clínica determinación hormonal evidenció una sensibilidad 47 por ciento y una especificidad del 96,7 por ciento del primer método. La determinación de los AAP ayuda y complementa el diagnóstico definitivo de TC. El diagnóstico clínico funcional de la tiroides debe ser corroborado con el estudio hormonal

ABSTRACT

Se describe una técnica para el aislamiento de islotes de Langerhans de páncreas de perro y cochino, en la cual combinamos la digestión enzimática del tejido (por medio de la perfusión a través del ducto pancreático principal, una vez extraido el organo), disrupción mécanica y purificación de los islotes mediante un gradiente de densidad, comparando la viabilidad de los mismos tanto in vitro (perro y cochino) como in vivo (perro) obteniendo 350000 islotes/perro y 200000 islotes/cochino, con una pureza del 50-80 por ciento y se observó una disminución en los valores de glicemia en el perro una vez realizado el autotrasplante
