Several reports have focused on the levels of adipocytokines/adipokines, including adiponectin (APN), which is exclusively secreted from adipocytes, although the importance of these factors in acute disease conditions remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between serum adiponectin levels and COVID-19 severity. Patients with COVID-19 who were admitted to Sumitomo Hospital (Osaka, Japan) from May through October 2021 were included. A total of 107 patients were enrolled in this study. We obtained the anthropometric and clinical laboratory data of the patients at the time of admission and examined the associations between various parameters and COVID-19 severity. The mean period from onset to admission was 6.5 ± 2.8 days. We divided the patients into \"non-severe\" (mild, moderate-I and moderate-II) (n = 80) and \"severe\" (n = 27) groups. The \"severe\" patients were significantly older than \"non-severe\" patients. Additionally, no significant differences were observed in BMI, sex, or the period from onset to admission. The serum adiponectin levels of \"severe\" patients at the time of admission were significantly greater than those of \"non-severe\" patients even after adjusting for age, sex, and BMI.

Throughout the evolution of metazoan animals and the development of their brains, a sustainable energy supply has been essential to overcoming the competition for survival under various environmental stresses. Managing energy for metabolism, preservation, and consumption inevitably involves high oxidative stress, causing tissue damage in various organs. In both mice and humans, excessive dietary intake can lead to insulin resistance in various organs, ultimately displaying metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Insulin signals require thorough regulation to maintain metabolism across diverse environments. Recent studies demonstrated that two types of forkhead-box family transcription factors, FOXOs and FOXKs, are related to the switching of insulin signals during fasting and feeding states. Insulin signaling plays a role in supporting higher activity during periods of sufficient food supply and in promoting survival during times of insufficient food supply. The insulin receptor depends on the tyrosine phosphatase feedback of insulin signaling to maintain adipocyte insulin responsiveness. α4, a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), has been shown to play a crucial role in modulating insulin signaling pathways by regulating the phosphorylation status of key proteins involved in these pathways. This short review summarizes the current understanding of the molecular mechanism related to the regulation of insulin signals.</p>\u0000<p></p>","PeriodicalId":11631,"journal":{"name":"Endocrine journal","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141568972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many cases are accompanied by structural lesions in the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and circumventricular organs (CVOs).

In contrast, pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is also a rare cause of CPHD. Importantly, these conditions are often confused due to their similar names and resembling findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). PSIS has been thought to be a prenatal developmental event resulting from a couple of genetic aberrations. In typical PSIS, anterior pituitary hormone deficiencies are restricted to growth hormone (GH) and gonadotropin during the pediatric age, gradually and generally progressing to panhypopituitarism in most cases. In contrast, global deficiencies of the anterior pituitary hormones in PSTS are temporally associated with trauma. To the best of our knowledge, no case reports of PSTS combined with acute traumatic spinal cord injury have been reported. A 34-year-old female was transferred to our hospital after jumping from the fourth building floor. She was diagnosed as an acute traumatic spinal cord injury and underwent the operation of elective posterior spinal fusion. On postoperative day 7, the blood tests revealed considerable hyperkalemia, hyponatremia and eosinophilia. Notably, menstruation stopped after falling from a height. Pituitary function tests revealed GH deficiency, hypogonadism, hypothyroidism and hypoadrenocorticism. MRI revealed loss of the pituitary stalk, whilst the hyperintense signal from distal axon of hypothalamus was still identified. Based on these findings, she was diagnosed as PSTS.
