sorbitol and Acromegaly

sorbitol has been researched along with Acromegaly in 2 studies

D-glucitol : The D-enantiomer of glucitol (also known as D-sorbitol).

Acromegaly: A condition caused by prolonged exposure to excessive HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE in adults. It is characterized by bony enlargement of the FACE; lower jaw (PROGNATHISM); hands; FEET; HEAD; and THORAX. The most common etiology is a GROWTH HORMONE-SECRETING PITUITARY ADENOMA. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch36, pp79-80)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Functional liver mass and functional liver plasma flow (FLPF) were assessed in 11 patients with clinical features of acromegaly by determining galactose elimination capacity (GEC) and extrarenal clearance of sorbitol, before and 5 to 7 months after treatment with the long-acting somatostatin analog, octreotide (150 to 600 micrograms/d in three subcutaneous injections)."3.69Assessment of functional liver mass and plasma flow in acromegaly before and after long-term treatment with octreotide.
