Estudio de receptor anómalo suprarrenal en sujetos con síndrome de Cushing ACTH-independiente e hiperplasia nodular suprarrenal
2020
Resumen Introduccion El sindrome de Cushing ACTH-independiente (SCAI) supone el 15-20% de los casos de sindrome de Cushing, de los cuales Material y metodos Estudio descriptivo multicentrico de una serie de 15 casos de SCAI con hiperplasia nodular suprarrenal (periodo de estudio: 2002-2016). En ellos se hizo el despistaje de receptor anomalo, mediante pruebas de estimulacion, considerando patologico un aumento de cortisol plasmatico ≥ del 25% respecto al valor basal. Resultados De los 15 casos, 13 fueron mujeres, con una edad media al diagnostico de 56,8 anos. En 12 de los 15 casos estudiados se detecto positividad de las pruebas de estimulacion. De ellos, fueron positivos para comida de pr…
Oral Unsaturated Fat Load Impairs Postprandial Systemic Inflammation in Primary Hypercholesterolemia Patients.
2021
Context: Primary hypercholesterolemia (PH) is a lipid disorder characterized by elevated levels of cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Low-grade systemic inflammation is associated with PH, which might explain the higher incidence of cardiovascular diseases in this setting.Objective: To evaluate the effect of an oral unsaturated fat load (OUFL) on different immune parameters and functional consequences in patients with PH in postprandial state.Design: A commercial liquid preparation of long-chain triglycerides (Supracal®; ω6/ω3 ratio >20/1, OUFL) was administered to 20 patients and 10 age-matched controls. Whole blood was collected before (fasting state) and 4 h after admi…

Primary hypercholesterolemia (PH) is associated with a low grade systemic inflammation that is likely the main driver of premature atherosclerosis. Accordingly, we characterized the immune cell behaviour in PH and its potential consequences. Whole blood from 22 PH patients and 21 age-matched controls was analysed by flow cytometry to determine the percentage of leukocyte immunophenotypes, activation, and platelet-leukocyte aggregates. Plasma markers were determined by Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA). The adhesion of platelet-leukocyte aggregates to tumor necrosis factor-&alpha
Study of abnormal adrenal receptors in subjects with ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome and nodular adrenal hyperplasia
2020
ACTH-independent Cushing's Syndrome (AICS) accounts for 15-20% of cases of Cushing's syndrome, with1% due to abnormal receptors. Our aim is to study the presence of abnormal receptors in subjects diagnosed with AICS with nodular adrenal hyperplasia in a 14-year period (2002-2016), as well as its clinical-biological and evolutive characteristics.A multicentre descriptive study of a 15-case series of AICS with nodular adrenal hyperplasia (study period: 2002-2016). In these cases, abnormal receptor screening was performed by means of stimulation tests, with a plasma cortisol increase of ≥ 25% from baseline being considered pathologic.Of the 15 cases, 13 were female, with a mean age at diagnosi…
