Previous meta-analyses have linked obesity with an increased risk of developing thyroid diseases, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. We designed an observational cross-sectional study including all female patients presenting consecutively in an ambulatory clinic for 16 months. This study aimed to describe the level of serum cytokines and chemokines in relation to TSH, fT4 and insulin resistance (IR) indexes in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). The study included 72 women with a median age of 59 ± 17.75 years, and a mean BMI (Body Mass Index) of 31.48 ± 6.75 kg/m². Modelling homeostasis model assessment of IR indices (HOMA-IR) based on chemokines (IL-8, CXCL10, CXCL11, leptin), C-reactive protein, the presence or absence of SCH, taking into account age, BMI, abdominal circumference, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (ATPO) as covariates, identified a single chemokine that was significantly associated with the dependent variable (IL-8). IR indices are negatively associated with IL-8 in female patients with subclinical hypothyroidism, but the effect of the cytokine is minimal. BMI rather than TSH influences the level of CXCL11 in our population. CXCL10 has a tendency to increase in patients with SCH, obesity and prediabetes, with no association with TSH.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46328,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Translational Endocrinology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214623722000072/pdfft?md5=7553f997b3b57015a1c27c8728a187c2&pid=1-s2.0-S2214623722000072-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43304269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The role of CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in CFRD pathogenesis is inadequately understood and research aimed at deciphering the underlying mechanisms of CFRD continues to evolve. In this review, we summarize what is known regarding the effect of CFTR modulators on CFRD. Small studies using ivacaftor monotherapy in gating mutations have revealed improvement in insulin secretion, glucose tolerance and/or decrease in insulin requirement. However, lumacaftor/ivacaftor studies (primarily in delta F 508 homozygous) have not revealed significant improvement in CFRD or glucose tolerance. No studies are yet available regarding the effect of the highly effective triple therapy (elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor) on CFRD or insulin secretion. CFTR modulators might affect development or progression of CFRD through many mechanisms including improving insulin secretion by correcting the CFTR defect directly, improving ductal function, reducing islet inflammation, and improving incretin secretion or by enhancing insulin sensitivity via reduced systemic inflammation and increased physical activity driven by improved lung function and quality of life. On the other hand, they can stimulate appetite and improve gastrointestinal function resulting in increased caloric intake and absorption, driving excessive weight gain and potentially increased insulin resistance. If the defect in insulin secretion is reversible then it is possible that initiation of CFTR modulators at a younger age might help prevent CFRD. Despite the advances in CF management, CFRD remains a challenge and knowledge continues to evolve. Future studies will drive better understanding of the role of highly effective CFTR modulators in CFRD.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46328,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Translational Endocrinology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/65/80/main.PMC8668978.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9248907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
