We found biventricular hypertrophy and impairment of diastolic and systolic function in the patients with acromegaly. We conclude that changes in resistin and leptin levels are unlikely to account for the insulin resistance of acromegaly. They do not also seem to be contributing factors of cardiovascular changes in patients with acromegaly.
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.
