This study retrospectively investigated clinical characteristics and biochemical data of patients with Graves' disease who experienced serum CK elevation during ATD treatment. CK elevation was observed in 29.6% (37/125) of patients, with 11.2% (14/125) being symptomatic. This incidence is higher than previously reported (13.5%). There were no differences in pre-treatment characteristics between patients with and without CK elevation. The intervals between the initiation of ATD treatment or normalization of thyroid function and the onset of CK elevation were 11.3±8.0 and 5.8±6.6 weeks, respectively, and peak serum CK levels averaged 441.9±394.0 IU/l. Markedly elevated serum CK were accompanied by increased serum myoglobin levels. Serum CK elevation occurred either continuously or intermittently, or as a single episode during the course of treatment. Thyroid function at the time of CK elevation varied from hyperthyroid to normal to hypothyroid. In conclusion, serum CK elevation in patients with Graves' disease treated with ATDs is not uncommon, with symptomatic cases accounting for approximately 10%, and the frequency increasing to around 30% when asymptomatic cases are included.

With aging, both GHRH and GH levels decline, leading to muscle loss, increased fat accumulation, metabolic dysregulation, and cognitive impairments. GH replacement therapy has been explored as a potential intervention to counteract these effects; however, its long-term use is associated with significant risks, including metabolic disturbances, cardiovascular complications, and potential cancer promotion. In contrast, studies suggest that GHRH-based therapies can improve body composition, muscle strength, cognitive function, and cardiovascular health while avoiding the risks linked to direct GH administration. Additionally, preclinical findings indicate that GHRH agonists may offer cardioprotective and immunomodulatory benefits.

Insulin-like peptide 5 (INSL5), a gut-derived hormone of the relaxin/insulin family, is expressed in the central nervous system, colonic and reproductive tissues, but its clinical significance in PCOS remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate circulating INSL5 levels in PCOS and explore their associations with key hormonal and metabolic parameters. In this prospective cross-sectional study, 45 women with newly diagnosed PCOS and 35 age-matched healthy controls (18-35 years) were evaluated. Clinical characteristics, hormonal profiles, and metabolic markers - including serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and INSL5 - were assessed. INSL5 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Median serum INSL5 levels did not differ significantly between PCOS and control groups (12.5 vs. 15.5 ng/ml; p=0.103). However, within the PCOS group, INSL5 was inversely correlated with body mass index, insulin, HOMA-IR, total and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, fat mass, and free androgen index, and positively correlated with sex hormone-binding globulin (p<0.05 for all). AMH was significantly higher in the PCOS group and demonstrated a diagnostic cut-off of 5.04 ng/ml (AUC: 0.808; sensitivity: 75.6%; specificity: 74.3%). Although INSL5 did not show diagnostic utility for PCOS, its consistent associations with insulin resistance, androgenic activity, and lipid metabolism suggest a potential role in metabolic regulation. These findings support its relevance as a candidate marker for metabolic phenotyping and warrant further investigation into its physiological role within the PCOS spectrum.</p>","PeriodicalId":12999,"journal":{"name":"Hormone and Metabolic Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144540045","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}
