Delayed puberty (DP) in boys is considered the most common hypoandrogenia of puberty. It should be noted that DP adversely affects physical development, body formation and the health status of adolescents. The heterogeneity of the population of adolescents with DP has led to a differentiated approach and the allocation of the following three clinical options (CO) of DP: 1 - DP, accompanied by growth retardation; 2 - DP without significant deviations in physical development; 3 ...

Objective: Determination of changes in metabolic status and vitamin D concentrations in obese children.Methods: We examined 210 children in the University Hospital (Minsk) from 2021 to 2022 yrs. Their anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)) were determined. Blood levels of vitamin D, OPG, insulin were determined. All children were divided into 2 groups: group 1 children with morbid obesity (MO) ...

Background: Mammalian puberty is initiated by the pulsatile release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from hypothalamic neurons. Enhanced at puberty (Eap) 1 is a transcription factor within this regulatory network integrating exogenous and endogenous informations, e.g. weight. Recent studies indicate an epigenetic regulation of the pubertal process.Objective and hypotheses: This study investigates if overweight modifies epigenetic marks i...

Objective: determination of changes in metabolic status and vitamin D concentrations in obese children.Methods: We examined 221 children in the University Hospital (Minsk) from 2019 to 2021 yrs. Their anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)) were determined. Blood levels of vitamin D, insulin were determined. All children were divided into 2 groups: group 1 children with morbid obesity (MO) - 159...

Objective: determination of changes in metabolic status and osteoprotegerin (OPG) concentrations in obese children.Methods: We examined 220 children in the University Hospital (Minsk) from 2022 to 2023 yrs. Their anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)) were determined. Blood levels of OPG, insulin were determined. All children were divided into 2 groups: group 1 children with morbid obesity (MO)...

Objective: determination of changes in metabolic status and osteoprotegerin concentrations in obese children.Methods: We examined 120 children in the University Hospital (Minsk) from 2017 to 2019 yrs. Their anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)) were determined. Blood levels of osteoprotegerin (OPG), insulin were determined. In the biochemical blood test, the parameters of uric acid, insulin we...

Objective: Determination of changes in metabolic status and vitamin D concentrations in obese children.Methods: We examined 212 children in the University Hospital (Minsk) from 2016 to 2018 years. Their anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)) were determined. Blood levels of vitamin D, insulin, uric acid were determined. All children were divided into 2 groups: group 1 children with morbid obesity – 140 patients (90 boys(B)...

Chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (cAIT) and Graves’ disease (GD) is the most common autoimmune disorders in children, associated with induction of inflammation and autoimmunity process. OPG, a cytokine receptor which mediates suppressive effect on osteoclastogenesis and its soluble ligand RANKL (sRANKL) are regulators of inflammation and may be a link between bone, autoimmune disease, and vasculature.Aim of the study: We hypothesized that cytokines OP...

Maternal new-diagnosed Graves’ disease is quite rare thyroid dysfunction with an estimated incidence of 0.4–1% of all pregnancies, but only 1–5% of newborns delivered to mothers with Graves’ disease develop overt clinical signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Neonatal hyperthyroidism almost always is transient and results from the transplacental passage of maternal thyrotropin (TSH) receptor stimulating antibodies. Neonates born to mothers with Graves&#146...

Background: Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) are one of the most common organ-specific autoimmune disorders, of which Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) and Graves’ disease (GD) are 2 of the most common clinical expressions. HT is characterized by hypothyroidism (hypoT) that results from the destruction of the thyroid by specific T cell-mediated cytotoxicity. In contrast, GD is characterized by hyperthyroidism (hyperT) induced by thyrotropin receptor-specific stimulatory...
