Is the 5HTTLPR polymorphism of the serotonin transporter gene associated with affective temperaments as measured by TEMPS-A?
The database is entirely female. Given that the hyperthymic type predominates in males, our results could have been different if men were included in our sample.
In contrast to insulinoma, hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia after gastric bypass surgery is not accompanied by overexpression of GLP-1 receptor in individual islets. Thus, patients with post-gastric bypass hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia are not candidates for GLP-1 receptor imaging in vivo using radiolabelled exendin. These GLP-1 receptor data support the notion that the islet pathobiology of post-gastric bypass hypoglycaemia is distinctly different from that of benign insulinomas.
