Taking into consideration that PROs may yield higher prevalence rates than physician ratings for symptoms published in pivotal clinical trials, we found that a short time span after menopause and use of adjuvant chemotherapy, but not high BMI, were significantly associated with joint symptoms. These findings might prove useful for counseling before initiating treatment with adjuvant aromatase inhibitors in postmenopausal Japanese women.
High BMI and experiencing menopausal disorders at menopause were found to be significantly associated with the occurrence of vasomotor symptoms. These findings are expected to prove useful for the management of postmenopausal Japanese women treated with aromatase inhibitors.
Plasma secretin levels were measured during a 72-hour starvation period in dogs. Plasma secretin rose significantly and insulin levels fell significantly during starvation. Intravenous glucose loading at the end of the 72-hour starvation period suppressed plasma secretin and free fatty acid levels with a concomitant rise of glucose and insulin levels. These findings suggest that secretin might be regulated by plasma glucose and insulin levels and might play a role in lipolysis during starvation.
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.
