Abstract
We report a germ-line mutation in the gene encoding PRKAR1A, the cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent regulatory subunit of protein kinase A, in three unrelated patients with acrodysostosis and resistance to multiple hormones. The mutated subunit impairs the protein kinase A response to stimulation by cAMP;...

Abstract
We investigated the effects of withholding feed for the first 48 h PH (delayed feeding, DF) on lipogenic gene expression through 8 days PH. Body weight gain was significantly depressed by DF. Plasma levels of the major metabolic hormones that regulate lipogenic gene expression (insulin, glucagon and...

Abstract
Abstract
Body weight is a principal determinant of bone density and fracture risk, and adipose tissue mass is a major contributor to this relationship. In contrast, some recent studies have argued that "fat mass after adjustment for body weight" actually has a deleterious effect on bone, but these analyses a...

Abstract
The quest to increase lean body mass is widely pursued by those who lift weights. Research is lacking, however, as to the best approach for maximizing exercise-induced muscle growth. Bodybuilders generally train with moderate loads and fairly short rest intervals that induce high amounts of metaboli...

Adipose tissue had been traditionally considered a passive energy storage site without direct influence on energy homeostasis regulation. This view has been principally changed during early nineties by the discovery of hormonal production of adipose tissue. At present, the list of hormonally active...

Abstract
We report a 44-year-old Caucasian female who presented with hypoglycemia and hypotension. The patient had a basal cortisol of 1.6 ug/dl and a peak serum cortisol of 23.3 ug/dl after 250 ug of cosyntropin. Despite this apparent normal response to cosyntropin, the patient responded to glucocorticoids...

Abstract
Glucose homeostasis in mammals is achieved by the actions of counterregulatory hormones, namely insulin, glucagon and glucocorticoids. Glucose levels in the circulation are regulated by the liver, the metabolic centre which produces glucose when it is scarce in the blood. This process is catalysed b...
