Abstract

We examined hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function in insulin-dependent diabetic outpatients (N = 22) and age-, sex-, and weight-matched normal controls (N = 22). The evaluation included measurements of 9:00 AM fasting plasma cortisol and cortisol-binding globulin (CBG) levels, 24-hour urinary free cortisol (UFC) excretion, and plasma corticotropin and cortisol responses to intravenously administered ovine corticotropin-releasing hormone ([CRH] 1 microgram/kg given as a bolus at 8:00 PM). Diabetic patients had significantly elevated 9:00 AM plasma cortisol levels (mean +/- SE, 300.7 +/- 99.3 v 237.3 +/- 99.3 nmol/L, P < .04), higher 24-hour UFC excretion (313.2 +/- 112.6 v 244.2 +/- 69.3 nmol/24 h, P < .02), and greater cortisol responses to CRH infusion (time-integrated values: 49,408.2 +/- 11,289.8 v 40,217.9 +/- 7,228.6 nmol/L.120 min, P < .004; peak cortisol values: 529.7 +/- 107.6 v 438.7 +/- 77.3 nmol/L, P < .002) than controls. UFC excretion values were positively correlated with both 5-year averaged hemoglobin A1c level (P = .03) and total number of insulin units administered per day (P = .03). These results suggest that insulin-dependent diabetic outpatients have mild chronic hypercortisolism, which might influence the control of the disease and play a role in the development of its chronic complications.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Hyperactivity of the HPA axis and hyperinsulinemia are frequently observed in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and in patients with abdominal adiposity.

    “Hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in association with hyperinsulinemia is frequently found in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus and in subjects with abdominal adiposity.”

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.
