Increased Urinary-Free Cortisol Outputs in Diabetic Patients

Roy, Monique S, Roy, Alec, Brown, Stafford·1998·Journal of Diabetes and its Complications

Abstract

We previously reported that diabetic patients show evidence of dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. To extend this work, we examined urinary-free cortisol (UFC) outputs in diabetic patients and whether or not they relate to diabetic complications. We compared a group of 35 insulin-dependent diabetic outpatients with a group of 32 normal controls for 24-h UFC outputs and examined the patients for relationship between UFC outputs and diabetic complications. Diabetic patients had significantly greater 24-h UFC outputs than controls. There was a significant positive correlation between 24-h UFC outputs and duration of diabetes. There were trends for patients with either diabetic retinopathy or diabetic cardiovascular complications to have higher 24-h UFC outputs than patients without these complications. These results further show that diabetic patients have mild dysregulation of the HPA axis. This dysregulation is related to longer duration of diabetes. A larger sample is needed to examine further for a relationship to diabetic complications.

Claims other papers make about this one

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.
