Relative adrenal insufficiency in sepsis has been extensively debated on; however, accurate diagnosis and therapeutic intervention remain controversial. The authors aimed to evaluate adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), salivary cortisol, total cortisol and estimated plasma-free cortisol,
OBJECTIVE
Adrenal insufficiency (AI) has been reported in patients with stable cirrhosis. A lack of substrates has been suggested as a possible contributing pathogenic mechanism leading to glucocorticoid deficiency in these subjects. To better explore this hypothesis, we studied lipoproteins in
OBJECTIVE
Prednisolone is used as glucocorticoid replacement therapy for adrenal insufficiency (AI). Recent data indicate that its use in AI is associated with low bone mineral density. Data on risk factors for cardiovascular disease in patients with AI treated with prednisolone are scarce, despite
HIV-infected transwomen face multiple specific issues. Economic and social marginalization, sex work, substance abuse, hormonal consumption and silicone injection may affect the course of HIV infection and lead to metabolic and endocrine complications.A Hearts from chronically adrenalectomized (ADX) cats deprived of any steroid support for 9-12 days were isolated and perfused in a Langendorff apparatus at a constant pressure of 95 mm Hg. The perfusion medium was Krebs-Henseleit buffer with either 10 mM glucose or 0.4 mM palmitate complexed to 3
Cardiovascular risk is increased in hypopituitary patients. No data are available with respect to the effect of glucocorticoid replacement therapy on high density lipoproteins (HDL) metabolism in such patients. Plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT), cholesteryl ester transfer protein
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the relationship between the pituitary-adrenocortical function, abdominal obesity, and insulin resistance syndrome.
METHODS
A prospective study.
METHODS
Helsinki University Hospital, Finland.
METHODS
Sixty-six healthy males aged 30-55 years.
METHODS
Insulin, C-peptide,
Non-arteriosclerotic, virgin and arteriosclerotic, breeder rats were treated with aniline to suppress adrenal steroidogenic capacity and responsiveness to the stress of acute myocardial infarction. After two weeks of aniline treatment, some of the non-arteriosclerotic and arteriosclerotic animals
Background and aims: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) supplementation has gained attention in individuals with adrenal insufficiency, and as a tool for increasing androgens and estrogens whereby is proposed to improve the accretion of muscle
Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D) is an autosomal recessive disorder that can present as a severe, infantile form also known as Wolman disease. We sought to determine the outcomes and clinical needs of infants diagnosed with LAL-D, treated with enzyme replacement therapy BACKGROUND
Adrenal insufficiency, or relative insufficiency, might partly explain increased mortality rates in nephroblastoma and neuroblastoma survivors after unilateral adrenalectomy.
OBJECTIVE
To assess adrenal function and its metabolic effects in survivors after adrenalectomy.
METHODS
In this
An 18-year-old male patient had presented with diffuse hyperpigmentation after birth and with adrenal insufficiency syndrome since childhood. After puberty, no secondary sexual signs developed. Laboratory examination showed an extremely high concentration of serum triglycerides (9.14 mmol/L) and
Growth hormone (GH) deficiency and acromegaly may be associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Little is known about alterations in high density lipoproteins (HDL) in these conditions. Lecithin:cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT) has the ability to esterify free cholesterol (FC) in HDL.
A 2-month-old boy presented with adrenal insufficiency, impaired liver function, hypertriglyceridemia, significantly elevated creatine kinase and electrolyte disturbance. Microarray comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis test showed a pathogenic 8.7 Mb deletion in the short arm of
Adrenal function and aging have been the object of intense interest recently, especially as regards dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), which is of major importance, since it is distinct from cortisol and aldosterone in declining with age. In a group of healthy old Tunisians, we investigated
