    Notes: Summary To determine the role of growth hormone in overnight insulin requirements and lipolysis, five patients with chronic growth hormone deficiency and Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and six control patients with diabetes were each studied on two separate nights. Insulin was infused at a variable rate throughout one night to maintain euglycaemia and fixed at 04.00 hours on another. During the variable infusion, euglycaemia was maintained in control patients by a 36% increase in insulin infusion rate between 03.00 and 08.00 hours while a 46% decrease in the rate was required in growth hormone deficient patients (p〈0.02). Despite this difference, mean free insulin values were equivalent. This finding is suggestive of increased insulin clearance in growth hormone sufficient patients. Glucose levels rose in control and fell in growth hormone deficient patients when insulin infusion rates were fixed at 04.00 hours. Glycerol production and non-esterified fatty acid concentrations were significantly lower in the growth hormone deficient diabetic patients, p〈0.001, and when normalized with a heparin infusion, had no effect on insulin requirements. We conclude that: (1) growth hormone contributes to the development of the “dawn phenomenon,” possibly by increasing insulin clearance (2) growth hormone helps sustain nocturnal lipolysis in Type 1 diabetes and (3) non-esterified fatty acids are not involved in the dawn phenomenon.

    Notes: Summary Glucose is the usual fuel of brain tissue. As hypoglycaemia develops, a level of glycaemia is reached where glucose transport from the circulation is no longer sufficient to meet metabolic demands, and the brain signals for peripheral counter-regulatory responses and symptoms of hypoglycaemia ensue. The glycaemic threshold for these events can be shifted to lower glucose concentrations following a single episode of hypoglycaemia, and compensating central nervous system adaptations have been postulated in man. In nondiabetic subjects, rates of brain glucose uptake are initially impaired at a systemic glucose concentration of 3.6 mmol/l; whereas after 56 h of intermittent hypoglycaemia (3.0 mmol/l) brain uptake is preserved at normal rates even at 2.5 mmol/l. Increments in counter-regulatory hormones and symptoms are also triggered at lower glucose concentrations following recurrent hypoglycaemia. In 24 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes stratified into three equal groups by HbA1 c value, those in the lowest third of HbA1 c range had rates of brain glucose uptake at 3.0 mmol/l that were equivalent to rates measured at 5.3 mmol/l. Patients in the other HbA1 c groups had rates of brain glucose uptake during hypoglycaemia that were reduced by 30 % relative to normoglycaemia – comparable to reductions seen in non-diabetic subjects. Thus, alterations in glucose uptake occur in the brain in order to maintain normal brain metabolism following experimental and clinical hypoglycaemia. Because of this enhanced glucose uptake, the brain has no need to signal for counter-regulatory responses and hypoglycaemia unawareness occurs. [Diabetologia (1997) 40: S 69–S 74]

    Notes: Abstract Scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate the boring activity of the marine wood-boring isopod Limnoria tripunctata Menzies, a common gribble. Results establish the distribution and density of microorganisms on the exoskeleton and within the digestive tract of L. tripunctata. Earlier reports on the absence of a bacterial flora within the gut were confirmed. Microbial colonization of the wood was most prominant in areas of the burrows furthest from the site of active boring.
