Abstract

The fasting insulin resistance index, mean blood glucose, mean serum insulin (MSI), early insulin response to glucose, glucose uptake rate in peripheral tissues, and insulin sensitivity indexes in response to a standard oral glucose tolerance test; serum insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), IGF-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1), IGFBP-3, and sex hormone binding-globulin (SHBG) levels; and the free androgen indexes were evaluated in 98 girls with premature pubarche [PP; prepubertal (B1; n = 32), early pubertal (B2; n = 27), midpubertal (B3; n = 23), and postmenarcheal (B5; n = 16)] and in 86 Tanner stage- and bone age-matched controls. We ascertained whether hyperinsulinemia is already present in PP girls before or during pubertal development and whether these patients show a similar pattern of growth factor secretion as normal girls. Body mass indexes did not differ significantly between patients and controls within the same pubertal stage. MSI levels showed a significant increase with pubertal onset in all subjects, as expected. Patients showed significantly higher MSI values than controls at all Tanner stages (P < 0.03, P = 0.03, P = 0.03, and P < 0.05 for B1, B2, B3, and B5, respectively); higher insulin response to glucose at B1, B2, and B3 (P < 0.03, P = 0.03, and P < 0.05, respectively); higher glucose uptake rate in peripheral tissues at B1 and B2 (P < 0.04 and P = 0.02, respectively); and a later rise in insulin sensitivity compared to controls. PP girls also showed lower IGFBP-1 levels at B1 and B5 (P < 0.01 and P = 0.02, respectively), lower SHBG concentrations at B5 (P < 0.0005), and higher free androgen indexes at B1, B3, and B5 (P < 0.01, P < 0.05, and P < 0.001, respectively) compared to controls. Among others, significant correlations between SHBG and MSI levels (r = -0.49; P < 0.0001) and between SHBG and IGFBP-1 levels (r = 0.41; P < 0.0001) were found in all subjects. Hyperinsulinemia, increased early insulin responses to glucose, increased glucose uptake rate in peripheral tissues, elevated free androgen indexes, and decreased SHBG and IGFBP-1 levels are present in most girls with PP from childhood. These findings lend strong support to the concept that PP is not a benign condition, and long term follow-up of these patients into adulthood is recommended. The possible causal role of hyperinsulinemia in adrenal and/or ovarian androgen hypersecretion remains to be established.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
