O článku:
Authors evaluated the prevalence of symptoms of the metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in 25 patients with adrenal
incidentalomas (10 men, 15 women) of the mean age 57.9+/-15 years. 15 patients had adrenal adenoma determined by CT
or MR scan and 10 had unilateral or bilateral hyperplasia. The prevalence of obesity was 72%, arterial hypertension 60%, diabetes
mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance 28%, hyperlipidemia 56% and hyperuricemia 20%, respectively, which is
more frequent occurrence than that in normal human population. Patients with adrenal adenomas had mildly but significantly
higher body mass index (BMI, p<0.05) and insulin resistance calculated as HOMA IR (p<0.05) and FIRI (p<0.05)
and significantly higher values of serum ferritin (p<0.01). Plasma cortisol values were slightly but not significantly higher in
the group with adrenal adenomas. Authors conclude that adrenal adenomas are probably more related to the metabolic syndrome
than adrenal hyperplasia.
