thalidomide and Hyperinsulinism

thalidomide has been researched along with Hyperinsulinism in 1 studies

Thalidomide: A piperidinyl isoindole originally introduced as a non-barbiturate hypnotic, but withdrawn from the market due to teratogenic effects. It has been reintroduced and used for a number of immunological and inflammatory disorders. Thalidomide displays immunosuppressive and anti-angiogenic activity. It inhibits release of TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA from monocytes, and modulates other cytokine action.
thalidomide : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of R- and S-thalidomide.
2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione : A dicarboximide that is isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is substituted by a 2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl group.

Hyperinsulinism: A syndrome with excessively high INSULIN levels in the BLOOD. It may cause HYPOGLYCEMIA. Etiology of hyperinsulinism varies, including hypersecretion of a beta cell tumor (INSULINOMA); autoantibodies against insulin (INSULIN ANTIBODIES); defective insulin receptor (INSULIN RESISTANCE); or overuse of exogenous insulin or HYPOGLYCEMIC AGENTS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A total of 6 patients with type 2 diabetes were studied with 4-h isoglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamps (approximately 8 mmol/l and 500-600 pmol/l, respectively) before treatment (Prestudy), after 3 weeks of thalidomide (150 mg orally at bedtime), and after 3 weeks of placebo."2.69Thalidomide impairs insulin action on glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in patients with type 2 diabetes.
