-sectional studies have found an inverse association between levels of SHBG and insulin resistance in men ( 9 , 10 ) and women ( 11 , 12 ). Only few studies have investigated whether levels of SHBG can predict the development of insulin resistance, and there are no

assess the effect of genetic variation of AMH signaling ( AMH rs10407022 T>G and AMHR2 rs11170547 C>T) on circulating hormone levels in boys and girls during pubertal development. Our findings support recent GWAS results in young adults and expand

. Importantly, IL-1β was also highly expressed in the tissues of the HT patients, suggesting that there is an interaction between MRP14 and IL-1β in the development of HT. Notably, our results showed that IL-1β induced the expression of not only chemokines in

-scale prospective population-based studies exist to support or refute generated hypothesis on chemerin involvement in disease development. Important prerequisite for planning biomarker assessment in a prospective study is the assessment of whether single biomarker

Introduction The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), IGF1 and IGF2, are important regulators of placental and foetal development, as well as postnatal growth and metabolism. In humans, circulating IGF1 peaks in adolescence and then falls with age

Introduction Autoimmune thyroid disease is a prerequisite for the development of Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO), and both thyroid and orbital tissues are infiltrated by immunocompetent cells. The thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) acts
