AMH levels are elevated in PCOS patients regardless of the body weight. Bariatric surgery is effective in the normalization of AMH levels (a possible indirect marker of better fertility) only in obese patients with PCOS.
Autoimmune gastritis is an additional factor affecting l-T(4) requirement in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis. Serum PCA measurement should be considered in patients with an unexplained high requirement of l-T(4).
These results confirm that obese subjects have shorter telomeres compared to non-obese subjects, but RTL is not influenced by the presence of metabolic syndrome. RTL shows an additional attrition during the immediate post-operative period, probably due to a catabolic state.
Clinicians should be aware about the risk of hypophysitis during treatment with immune check-point inhibitors and the necessity of investigating pituitary function during therapy. Pituitary magnetic resonance imaging does not seem pivotal for a definite diagnosis if not performed at the onset of disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
