8.19. Fixing the broken clock in adrenal disorders: Focus on glucocorticoids and chronotherapy

M Minnetti , V Hasenmajer , R Pofi , MA Venneri , KI Alexandraki , AM Isidori

To read the full abstract: J Endocrinol. 2020:JOE-20-0066.R2. PMID: 32380472.Human physiology and behavior are adapted to daily environmental cycles by means of endogenous circadian clocks. Biological tasks, including cell proliferation, differentiation, energy storage and immune regulation, are preferentially confined to specific periods of the 24-h cycle. This circadian rhythm derives fro...

To read the full abstract: J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2018; 103(8): 2998–3009.Conventional glucocorticoid (GC) therapy in adrenal insufficiency (AI) does not fully mimic the endogenous cortisol circadian rhythm, and this may adversely affect long-term health. In the recent DREAM trial (Dual Release Hydrocortisone vs. Conventional Glucocorticoid Replacement in H...

To read the full abstract: Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol. 2018; 6(3): 173-185Adrenal insufficiency (AI), caused by adrenal failure (primary) or hypothalamo-pituitary failure (secondary), has a prevalence of 250–450 per 1 million (16). AI is potentially life-threatening and requires lifelong glucocorticoid replacement therapy. Modified-release hydrocortisone preparations have bee...

To read the full abstract: J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2020; 105(1): dgz055. PMID: 31613957.Mineralocorticoid (MC) replacement therapy along with glucocorticoid (GC) replacement is crucial to avoid life-threating adrenal crises in Addison´s disease (AD) and in classical CAH (1–3). MC is administered with the aim of achieving plasma renin concentration (PRC) within the upper limit of ...
