Is spinal cord stimulation effective in management of complex regional pain syndrome I : fact or fiction?
SCS improves pain, quality of life, and functional status over the long term and consequently merits early consideration in the treatment continuum.
We conclude that specific insulin and proinsulin are positively related to leptin levels and that these associations are to some degree independent of obesity and body fat distribution. Thus, subjects with increased insulin levels may be relatively resistant to the effects of leptin. However, leptin levels are associated with a decrease in the fasting proinsulin/insulin ratio suggesting that leptin levels are not associated with an impairment in insulin secretion.
