Division of Transplantation, Departments of Surgery and Medicine, The University of Tennessee, 956 Court Avenue, Suite A202, Memphis, TN 38163 The conventional technique of pancreas transplantation with systemic venous drainage creates a state of hyperinsulinemia in both the fasting and postprandial states. Hyperinsulinemia has been considered as a possible cause for increasing the proliferation of smooth muscle cells and altering lipid metabolism, leading to increased CVR. However, the direct causal relationship has not been established between hyperinsulinemia and CVR. The objectives of this study were to 1) develop a model of endogenous hyperinsulinemia without the use of pharmacological agents, and b) determine the effect of hypertension and lipid abnormality. These data demonstrate that endogenous hyperinsulinemia can be achieved by a surgical procedure in dogs, and it is associated with a significant increase in BP and dyslipidemia, with a possible increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Extractions: Syndrome X (Hyperinsulinemia) By Eileen M. Wright, M.D. A ll hormones including thyroid, testosterone, insulin, growth hormone, melatonin, cortisol, etc. are powerful regulators of the body's metabolism and cellular functions. It has been observed that hormones can cause health problems when occurring either in deficient or excess quantities. For example, when thyroid hormone is deficient, depression, dry hair, dry skin, constipation, lassitude and weight gain may occur. When thyroid hormone occurs in excess, anxiety, heart palpitations, moist skin, and inability to gain weight may result. It is a most curious observation that until very recently, no one has considered the effects on human health of excess insulin secretion, even though the deficiency of insulin, diabetes, has been recognized for decades. This is because the effects of elevated insulin levels are often silent for years. I nsulin is a hormone secreted by specialized cells of the pancreas. One of

Extractions: Hyperinsulinemia: Why Is It So Deadly? (First published in Healthkeepers 2:2, Spring 1999.) The doctors of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. Thomas Edison (1847-1931) Something insidious is happening to Americas health. Most dont realize it, much less know how to stop it. This condition causes reduced quality of life, needless illness, even death. Hyperinsulinemia is its name, and it is totally preventable. Research from 1924 through the early 1960s proved that hyperinsulinemia was a causative factor in allergies, asthma, obesity, peptic ulcers, depression, alcoholism and carbohydrate addiction. Insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and decreased insulin sensitivityterms describing the different faces of hyperinsulinemiawere brought to the medical professions attention by Dr. Gerald Reaven, Professor Emeritus of Medicine at Stanford Medical School. He was the first to describe what is called Metabolic Syndrome or Syndrome X in 1988. Syndrome X is a cluster of cardiovascular risk factorshypertension, glucose intolerance, dyslipidaemia, obesity, diabetes, and accelerated atherosclerosis the underlying cause being insulin resistance/hyperinsulinemia.

Extractions: Growth Hormone, and Aging: What Could They Possibly Have in Common? (First published in Healthkeepers 3:1, Spring-Summer 2001:28-32.) Much has been written in the last several years about hyperinsulinemia. We have Dr. Atkins, Drs. Eades and Eades, Drs. Heller and Heller, and Dr. Barry Sears to thank for their books that introduced to the general public what had been known to the medical community since the early part of the twentieth century. Dr. Herald Reaven, Professor Emeritus of Medicine at Stanford Medical School, changed this perception in 1988 when he first described what is called Metabolic Syndrome , or Syndrome X . Syndrome X is a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors resulting from hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance. They are hypertension, glucose intolerance, dyslipidaemia, obesity, diabetes, and accelerated atherosclerosis. Further research has shown that in children as well as adults, hyperinsulinemia causes cardiovascular disease, obesity, Type II diabetes, cancer, and has been linked to ADD, ADHD, food allergies, learning and behavior problems, and juvenile delinquency.
Hyperinsulinemia
hyperinsulinemia. This response submitted by on 2/8/99. Answer first, then a question.hyperinsulinemia is too much insulin floating around in your bloodstream.
http://neuro-www.mgh.harvard.edu/forum/GeneralNeurologyF/Hyperinsulinemia.html

Extractions: Hi Chris, You've sure been on a bad trip. I'm sorry. Answer first, then a question. Hyperinsulinemia is too much insulin floating around in your bloodstream. It can happen to diabetics who inject insulin or take pills to produce more insulin, then for a number of reasons don't have enough food converted to use the insulin. In a normal, non-diabetic person, eating food signals the pancreas to put out enough insulin to use the food. In a person with hyperinsulinemia, the pancreas overreacts to the signal and puts out too much. It's worst when the person eats carbohydrates, which are very quickly absorbed. The blood sugar (everything is converted to blood sugar) goes up, the pancreas puts out too much to take care of it, and when the blood sugar is processed, the insulin keeps working. Result: Low blood sugar. If you eat more carbs, it will take care of the problem temporarily, then cause a bigger problem, because the pancreas will have put out too much again. My question is whether the blood sugar tests you've had included a five-hour (even two-hour) glucose tolerance test. Otherwise, the blood sugar reading is only for that moment.

Extractions: A RESPONSE TO CDCS STATEMENT ON SCREENING CHILDREN FOR ACANTHOSIS NIGRICANS Offered by the Border Health Office at the University of Texas-Pan American This is a response to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) position on Acanthosis Nigricans (AN) screenings. CDC evaluated an article that concludes that AN screenings are a valuable tool entitled Prevalence of acanthosis nigricans and its association with hyperinsulinemia in New Mexico adolescents Journal of Adolescent Health 2001 May; 28(5): 372-6 to make its case. This article supports the AN screenings Texas school nurses are conducting under HB 2989. The Border Health Office at the University of Texas-Pan American assisted the lead author in the article with materials developed by school nurses from the Rio Grande Valley. There is a plethora of other literature that discusses the significant correlation between AN and hyperinsulinemia/insulin resistance which supports the value of AN screenings. The CDC position needs to be examined and explained since this stance can lead to confusion about the purpose and value of the Texas mandated AN Screenings. CDCs citation supports all the great work school nurses in Texas have done and are doing with AN screenings.

But I am on an injection called Zoladex this is suppose to let you know if a hysterectomy will work for you. I have been on this medicine since February and I love it. I have since changed my mind and have decided that I will take the injection until my insurance stops paying for the medicine. At that time I will have a hysterectomy. This injection is also giving me time to do more research on the PCOD and make sure a hysterectomy is really what needs to be done. The injection cost about $500.00 for one month and $1500.00 for three. Make sure to do research on the injection if you want to do it though, there is a lot of information out there under a search engine (i.e. http://www.ask.com

http://www.newswise.com/articles/1998/8/insul898.hrt.html

Extractions: In today's Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, Finnish researchers say measuring a person's extent of hyperinsulinemia a condition that occurs when the body's cells are unable to effectively use the hormone insulin to break down sugar in food was superior to measuring other risk factors in determining whether individuals would have heart attacks. "Over 22 years of follow-up, the predictive power of insulin levels was of the same magnitude as that of cholesterol levels," says the study's senior author, Kalevi Pyorala, M.D., of the department of medicine at the University of Kuopio in Finland. "With additional adjustment for other risk factors, insulin levels remained, with the exception of the first five years, a significant independent predictor of heart attack risk."

28 mm cysts, elevated androgen (male-type) hormone levels, elevated luteinizinghormone to follicle stimulating hormone (LH/FSH) ratio, and hyperinsulinemia.
http://www.2reproduce.com/NLvol01-0999.html

Extractions: by I. Lane Wong, M.D. Chances are if you have irregular periods, you have heard of the term "Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)." The goals of this article are to define PCOS, describe how it causes infertility, and outline its treatment. PCOS is truly a syndrome because its specific cause is not well understood, known or agreed upon. In contrast to a specific disease, a syndrome is a group of symptoms and signs that are recognized to be associated with each other but without a common specific cause. The most common symptoms and signs grouped with PCOS are irregular menses, infertility, hirsutism (excess hair growth), obesity, enlarged ovaries with numerous 2-8 mm cysts, elevated androgen (male-type) hormone levels, elevated luteinizing hormone to follicle stimulating hormone (LH/FSH) ratio, and hyperinsulinemia. The most popular definition of PCOS in this country is hyperandrogenism + chronic oligo or anovulation (HA+COA) with the exclusion of known causes of HA+COA. Hyperandrogenism (HA) refers to a relative excess of androgens. Clinically, hyperandrogenism can show up as acne and hirsutism. Hormonally, hyperandrogenism manifests as elevated levels of androgens (testosterone, androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate [DHEAS]), and sometimes an elevated LH/FSH ratio. Chronic oligo or anovulation (COA) refers to irregular or absent ovulation over an extended time (usually many years). This will usually cause infertility.

Syndrome X or hyperinsulinemia. For men with hyperinsulinemia, waist circumferenceat the navel will be greater than the widest part of the hips.
http://www.bozocoop.com/supple/syndromex.html

Extractions: Syndrome X or Hyperinsulinemia Robyn Klein, Herbalist AHG Also called hyperinsulinemia, Syndrome X is a condition where the cells in the body become resistant to insulin, leading to high levels of insulin in the bloodstream. The body normally uses insulin to store nutrients from our diet. But when the tissues become resistant to insulin, the body starts storing glucose as fat, which is why obesity is a major symptom of this syndrome. Low insulin can lead to diabetes. But high levels of insulin are now thought to be related to serious conditions such as high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, hypoglycemia, osteoporosis, depression, erectile dysfunction, and blood clotting disorders. Many people don't realize they have Syndrome X and are often diagnosed as having type II diabetes. But a simple insulin test can easily discern this condition. Unfortunately, insulin tests are not often considered. However, there are some simple indications which you can check for using results of a regular blood test and a measuring tape. High levels of triglycerides with accompanying low levels of HDL (high density lipids) are strong indicators of hyperinsulinemia. The other common indication is an abdominal measurement. First, measure your waist and then the widest part of your hips. For men with hyperinsulinemia, waist circumference at the navel will be greater than the widest part of the hips. For women, the waist circumference will be more than 80% of the widest part of the hips.
