Abstract
To characterize the alterations in carbohydrate and lipoprotein metabolism, to evaluate markers of lipoprotein functionality, and to identify the presence of novel atherogenic risk factors in patients with Cushing syndrome (CS) in comparison with sex- and age-matched controls. In an open, cross-sectional study, 32 nontreated patients with active CS were consecutively recruited from the Endocrinology Service at "José de San Martín" Clinical Hospital, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, between April 11, 2010 and December 11, 2012. The patients were compared with sex- and age-matched controls. Versus controls, patients with CS presented with excess weight, central obesity, and hypercortisolism. They also exhibited an insulin-resistant state, with high resistin levels (median [interquartile range], 16 [10 to 22] ng/mL versus 6 [5 to 9] ng/mL; P<.0001), a more atherogenic lipoprotein profile, high oxidized low-density lipoprotein levels (oxLDL; mean ± SD, 100 ± 31 U/L versus 75 ± 32 U/L; P<.05) and high sensitive C-reactive protein levels (median [interquartile range], 1.2 [0.6 to 3.1] mg/L versus 0.6 [0.3 to 1.1] mg/L; P<.05), and increased leukocyte count (mean ± SD, 9.5 ± 2.6 × 10(3) cells/μL versus 6.5 ± 1.4 × 10(3) cells/μL...Continue Reading
