Realizing the cause of Cushing's syndrome (CS) is one of the most challenging processes in clinical endocrinology. The long high dose dexamethasone suppression test (standard test) is costly and need an extended inpatient stay. In this study we want to show the clinical utility of the overnight 8 mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST) for differential diagnosis of CS in a referral center. Retr...

Childhood sexual abuse is associated with an increased incidence of age-concurrent and adult psychopathology. Little is known, however, about the biological manifestations and sequelae of childhood sexual abuse. In this study, we characterized the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis of a self-selected sample of sexually abused and control girls recruited from a prospective longitudinal study. P...

OBJECTIVE Circulating cortisol and psychosocial stress may contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS). To evaluate these relationships, a cross-sectional study of 369 overweight and obese subjects and 60 healthy volunteers was performed and reviewed the previous literature. DESIGN AND METHODS Overweight and obese subjects had at least two other features of Cushing's...

Although body composition, insulin sensitivity, and lipids are markedly altered in overweight adolescents, hormonal associations with these parameters have not been well characterized. Growth hormone (GH) deficiency and hypercortisolemia predispose to abdominal adiposity and insulin resistance, and GH secretion is decreased in obese adults. We hypothesized that low-peak GH on the GH-releasing h...

The dexamethasone-suppressed CRH test (Dex-CRH test) differentiates patients with Cushing's syndrome (CS) from those with pseudo-Cushing states, who have decreased ACTH responses to CRH because of negative feedback exerted by chronic hypercortisolism. Normal subjects, however, have not been studied with the Dex-CRH test, raising concern that this test might not separate patients with CS from pa...
