Glucose and free fatty acid turnover in Cushing’s syndrome

Saunders, J., Hall, S. E. H., Sönksen, P. H.·1980·Journal of Endocrinological Investigation

Abstract

Glucocorticoids are known to have acute effects on glucose and free fatty acid (FFA) metabolism. The effects of the longstanding hypercorticism of Cushing's syndrome were studied by isotopic techniques in a group of Cushingoid patients compared to a control group. In the Cushing's group, glucose production and utilization rates were significantly higher than in control subjects, while FFA turnover also tended to be higher, but not significantly. It is suggested that increased glucose production is the main cause of the hyperglycemia seen in Cushing's syndrome.

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.
