There was no significant difference in the prevalence of pituitary nonenhancing lesions according to magnetic field strength, age, gender, slice thickness, or 2D vs. 3D contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging sequence. Pituitary nonenhancing lesions were identified on contrast-enhanced brain MRI in 20.8% of pediatric patients, with no significant difference in the prevalence according to magnetic field strength, slice thickness, and 2D or 3D contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging.

In obese adults the shape of the glucose response curve during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) predicts future type 2 diabetes. Patients with an incessant increase or monophasic curves have increased risk compared to those with biphasic curves. Since type 2 diabetes is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk, we studied whether differences in OGTT response curve are associated with differences in cardiometabolic risk factors in healthy adolescents across a wide body mass index (BMI) range. Sixty-nine (33F/36M), white adolescents (age 15.2±1.7years; BMI 21.5±4.7kg/m ; mean±SD) were studied. Risk factors measured included percent body fat, blood pressure, lipids, augmentation index, reactive hyperemia, endothelin 1, plasminogen activator 1, inflammatory markers (interleukin 6, c-reactive protein), insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity (Matusda index), and disposition index (DI). Thirty-two subjects had biphasic responses; 35 subjects had monophasic responses and two females had incessant increases. Sex did not affect the frequency of r
