Abstract
BACKGROUND: Although accumulating evidence shows that aging hormones are involved in glucose metabolism, effects of glycemic control on serum IGF-I and DHEAS levels are still unclear. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS: To investigate the effects of glycemic control on these hormone levels, we conducted a 1-month longitudinal study of 49 Japanese patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. We measured serum levels of IGF-I and DHEA-S before and after 1-month glycemic control and analyzed the association of changes in IGF-I and DHEA-S with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). RESULTS: HbA1c was decreased at 1 month with mean changes of -1.2% (p<0.001). Serum IGF-I was increased with mean changes of 11 ng/ml (p<0.05), while serum DHEA-S was decreased with mean changes of -19 μg/dl (p<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that changes in DHEA-S were inversely associated with changes in fasting plasma glucose (β=-0.36, p=0.027) and HbA1c (β=-0.33, p=0.028), while changes in IGF-I were not. CONCLUSION: The present longitudinal study showed that intensive glycemic control for 1 month increased serum IGF-I level and decreased serum DHEA-S level in Japanese patients with poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes. Further studies are needed to clarify the hormonal changes in IGF-I and DHEA-S after intensive glycemic control would affect diabetic complications.
