[Free amino acid spectrum and cathepsin activity in the blood serum of patients with diabetes mellitus combined with diffuse toxic goiter]. 1982

L P Grigor'eva, and E A Stroev, and I I Dubinina

Clinicobiochemical studies were performed to determine the spectrum of free aminoacids and cathepsin activity in the blood serum of 96 patients with the moderate stage of diabetes mellitus, diffuse toxic goiter, accompanied by normo- or hyperglycemia and in combined pathology: diabetes mellitus and diffuse toxic goiter. Pronounced hyperaminoacidemia in moderate diabetes mellitus, moderate hyperaminoacidemia in diffuse toxic goiter with normo- or hyperglycemia and increased cathepsin activity were revealed. In combined pathology mild thyroid hyperfunction diminished hyperaminoacidemia and cathepsin activity in patient with diabetes mellitus, apparently rendering a positive effect on protein-aminoacid metabolism.

D003920 Diabetes Mellitus A heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by HYPERGLYCEMIA and GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE.
D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
D006111 Graves Disease A common form of hyperthyroidism with a diffuse hyperplastic GOITER. It is an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies against the THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR. These autoantibodies activate the TSH receptor, thereby stimulating the THYROID GLAND and hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES. These autoantibodies can also affect the eyes (GRAVES OPHTHALMOPATHY) and the skin (Graves dermopathy).
