In conclusion we find that in patients with thyrotoxicosis muscle mass is reduced by approximately 20% and muscle strength by approximately 40% and that between 5 and 9 months elapse before normal muscle mass and function are reestablished.

Losartan reduces blood pressure, glomerular hyperfiltration and FF, and improves basal and insulin-stimulated glucose oxidation in normotensive, normoalbuminuric type 1 diabetic patients.

Co-administration of pramlintide and insulin to Type 1 diabetic subjects for 4 weeks does not change the plasma glucose or endogenous glucose production response to a glucagon challenge, following an overnight fast. In addition, pramlintide administration does not appear to alter insulin-mediated glucose disposal.
