Abstract • The incidence of impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes in thalassemiamajor patients varied from 9% to 15%, depending on the age of assessment and intensity (and compliance) of chelation and transfusion. It is uncertain whether early assessment and tailored chelation can prevent diabetes and preserve pancreatic reserve. There are now reports of endocrine improvements with intense chelation in regards to glucose metabolism which are limited to 3 years of follow up. However, whether the pancreas may regenerate or remodel even with reduction in hemosiderosis is unknown and questions have arisen whether these are lasting improvements reflecting an overtime advantage earned by the intensification of chelation. The aim was to determine the long-term effects of combined chelation therapy on glucose metabolism in beta-thalassaemic patients • From January 2001 to October 2003, 42 thalassemic patients (initially treated with deferoxamine DFO monotherapy) were gradually switched to an individually tailored combined regimen with DFO and deferiprone. Glucose metabolism characteristics were evaluated by Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Each patient was assessed separately before initiating combined therapy, and all patients were thereafter yearly reassessed (June 2005, June 2006 and June 2007). Full biochemical data (4 consecutive measurements) were available in 30 patients (3 got pregnant during this period, 5 denied repeated OGTT and 4 patients with severe and sustained hyperglycaemia started antidiabetic drugs after the second assessment in 2006). Insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function were assessed by calculated indices, using the most widely applied insulin sensitivity index - the homeostasis assessment model (ISI HOMA) which is based on fasting glucose and insulin alone. The area under the curve (AUC) was also calculated for estimating integrated response during OGTT for both glucose and insulin. Significant variations over time for each parameter were examined with ANOVA (general linear model) for repeated measurements. Ferritin levels were significantly decreased (P<0.01),AUCglu decreased (P=0.002)and SCHoma increased (P=0.004) as illustrated in Table 1. 70% of patients had abnormal glucose response during the first OGTT (diabetic response, Impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose, according to the latest criteria of the American Diabetes Association published in September 2005). In May 2007, only 20% exhibited abnormal glucose response with the same provocative test (P<0.001,non-parametric McNemar test). Our 6-year follow-up demonstrates that use of combined chelation therapy continues to be of benefit in terms of glucose metabolism in thalassemic patients.

Abstract Background: Studies of dipeptidyl peptidase inhibitors (DPP4is) report heterogeneous effects on cardiovascular targets in type 2 diabetes. Little is known about the cardiovascular effects of DPP4is in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in particular during the post-prandial state. Methods: In this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, single-center pilot study, we included obese individuals with IGT. Participants were randomized to receive for 12 weeks either saxagliptin 5mg a day or placebo. They were explored non-invasively before and after a standardized breakfast for biological markers; microcirculatory blood flow at baseline and after transcutaneous administration of acetylcholine (Periflux System 5000® PERIMED); post-occlusive digital reactive hyperhemia (Endopat2000®); pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, central pulse pressure and subendocardial viability ratio (Sphygmocor®); cardiac hemodynamic parameters and cardiovascular autonomic nervous system activity (Task force monitor®). Results: We investigated 24 individuals (mean body mass index 36.8±4.8 kg/m2, hypertension 33.3%). The results of all the investigations were similar after breakfast in the two groups at Visit 1 (acute post-prandial effects, after the first tablet) and Visit 2 (long-term post-prandial effects), and at fasting at Visit 1 and 2 (long-term effects, after 12 weeks of treatment). Only at Visit 2 the decrease in cardiac vagal activity occurring after breakfast was more sustained in the saxagliptin group than in the placebo group (interaction between treatment and time effect: p=0.016).Conclusion: In obese patients with IGT, among the large set of cardiovascular parameters we measured in the fasting and post-prandial state, the unique change induced by saxagliptin consisted in a more marked post-prandial depression of vagal activity.

Abstract The addition of reproductive fluids (RF) to the culture media has shown benefits in different embryonic traits but its long-term effects on the offspring phenotype are still unknown. We aimed to describe such effects in pigs. Blood samples and growth parameters were collected from piglets derived from in vitro-produced embryos (IVP) with or without RF added in the culture media versus those artificially inseminated (AI), from day 0 to month 6 of life. An oral glucose tolerance test was performed on day 45 of life. We show here the first comparative data of the growth of animals produced through different assisted reproductive techniques, demonstrating differences between groups. Overall, there was a tendency to have a larger size at birth and faster growth in animals derived from in vitro fertilization and embryo culture versus AI, although this trend was diminished by the addition of RFs to the culture media. Similarly, small differences in hematological indices and glucose tolerance between animals derived from AI and those derived from IVP, with a sex-dependent effect, tended to fade in the presence of RF. The addition of RF to the culture media could contribute to minimizing the phenotypical differences between the in vitro-derived and AI offspring, particularly in males.
