“…More work is needed to test the value of treating hyperinsulinemia with either lifestyle modification or pharmaceuticals in patients with AN. (21, 22) In addition, following reports of impacts of AN diagnosis on diabetes case identification and preventive counseling, further research is needed to document these observations and to explore methods for maximizing the effect of AN diagnosis on either action.…”

“…Parmi les affections endocriniennes susceptibles de s'accompagner d'un acanthosis nigricans, on trouve l'acromégalie, l'hypercorticisme, l'hypothyoïdie [7]. Mais l'intérêt de cette dermatose, qui peut être réversible à la disparition de sa cause, est lié au fait qu'elle est un marqueur d'insulinorésistance, quelle que soit l'étiologie de cette dernière [8,9]. Les caractéristiques cliniques de notre patiente, associant obésité et répartition centrale de la masse grasse, sont en faveur de l'existence d'un état d'insulinorésistance, qui est incontestable en présence d'un hyperinsulinisme avec une insulinémie supérieure à 15 mUI/L à jeun, et à 75 mUI/L à 120 min du test d'hyperglycémie provoquée par voie orale [10].…”

“…In the NIH case series, 6 (33%) of 18 patients had spontaneous improvement of the hyperglycemia and disappearance of the antibodies from the circulation over a period of 11 to 48 months (9). Interestingly, regression of acanthosis nigricans has been reported in temporal association with the disappearance of circulating anti‐insulin receptor autoantibodies and achievement of euglycemia type B insulin resistance (16). Insulin is often administered in extremely high doses but usually fails to provide adequate glycemic control.…”
