Carbohydrate and lipid metabolism was cross-sectionally assessed in 16 patients with endogenous hypercortisolism (endogenous Cushing syndrome). Five patients (31%) had fasting glucose levels over 6.6 mmol/l and a HbA1C over 7.5%. Six patients (38%) had diabetes mellitus based on an abnormal 75 g
This study was undertaken to further investigate the effect of acute selective insulin deficiency on glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis occurring during chronic physiological hypercortisolemia in conscious overnight fasted dogs. After an 80-min tracer and dye equilibration period and a 40-min basal
We compared the anabolic stimulus provided by an essential amino acid and carbohydrate (AA/CHO) supplement to a mixed clinical meal during bed rest (BR) and episodic hypercortisolemia ( approximately 24 microg.dl(-1)). In the experimental (EXP; n = 7) and control (CON; n = 6) groups, femoral
Alterations in carbohydrate metabolism were evaluated in 60 dogs with untreated hyperadrenocorticism by measuring basal concentrations of plasma glucose and insulin and performing glucose and insulin tolerance tests. The 60 dogs could be divided into four groups based on paired glucose and insulin
Recent studies have linked maternal consumption of an unbalanced high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet in late pregnancy with raised adult blood pressure in the offspring. Because high-protein diets stimulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, we hypothesized that an unbalanced maternal diet
The hypercortisolism is one of the hormonal features of anorexia nervosa (AN) in the undernutrition phase. This abnormality seems to be related to the nutritional factors because the weight restoration leads to the normalization of cortisol. We have investigated glycemia, plasma insulin and
Prolonged inactivity associated with bed rest in a clinical setting or spaceflight is frequently associated with hypercortisolemia and inadequate caloric intake. Here, we determined the effect of 28 days of bed rest (BR); bed rest plus hypercortisolemia (BRHC); and bed rest plus essential amino acid
Radioimmunoassay revealed in participants of Chernobyl disaster sequelae preclinical changes of some hormonal functions: moderate increase of the basal concentration of blood insulin, somatotropin, C-peptide against the background of persistent hypercortisolemia. Increase of the level of
It is known that the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia in the late adulthood are in connection with intrauterine retardation, characterized by low birth weight. One possible explanation of this phenomenon is the abnormality
OBJECTIVE
Data are inconsistent whether hyperinsulinemia might be associated with adrenal hyperandrogenism in young adults born with low birth weight (LBW).
METHODS
We investigated the insulin and adrenal steroid production of 70 young LBW adults [33 women (birth weight: 1,795 +/- 435 g) and 37 men
