Defective hypothalamic response to immune and inflammatory stimuli in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the integrity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis responses to immune/inflammatory stimuli in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: Diurnal secretion of cortisol and the cytokine and cortisol responses to surgery were studied in subjects with active RA, in subjects with chronic osteomyelitis (OM), and in subjects with noninflammatory arthritis, who served as controls. RESULTS: Patients with RA had a defective HPA response, as evidenced by a diurnal cortisol rhythm of secretion which was at the lower limit of normal in contrast to those with OM, and a failure to increase cortisol secretion following surgery, despite high levels of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and IL-6. The corticotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test in the RA patients showed normal results, thus suggesting a hypothalamic defect, but normal pituitary and adrenal function. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that RA patients have an abnormality of the HPA axis response to immune/inflammatory stimuli which may reside in the hypothalamus. This hypothalamic abnormality may be an additional, and hitherto unrecognized, factor in the pathogenesis of RA.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
