Overview

Brief Summary

Cardiometabolic phenotyping of patients suffering from autonomous cortisol secretion and identifying a disease specific chronobiology profile in patients with altered hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis signaling

Eligibility Criteria

Ages
18 years to 65+ years (18-64 Years, 65+ Years)
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Yes

Inclusion Criteria

  • Group autonomous cortisol secretion: Inclusion criteria for the ACS group: • Age > 18 years • History of an adrenal adenoma • morning cortisol > 1.8 ug/dl following 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test • No classical clinical features associated with the presence of Cushing’s syndrome, Control group: • Age > 18 years • History of an adrenal adenoma • morning cortisol of ≤ 1.8 ug/dl following 1 mg dexamethasone suppression testing

Exclusion Criteria

  • HbA1c > 8 % and/or treatment with insulin therapy 14 Proposal_AdrenalClock_V4 18.03.2023 • uncontrolled hypertension (RR > 170/110 mmHg; treatment with no more than 4 antihypertensive drugs) • previous treatment with glucocorticoids within the last 3 months • concomitant treatment with drugs affecting HPA signaling or CYP3A4 metabolism • adrenal tumor with radiological criteria suspicious for malignancy • chronic kidney disease (eGFR < 45 ml/min) • liver disease (ASAT / ALAT > 3 x ULN) • pregnancy or breast feeding • general MR contraindications (claustrophobia, metal devices or other magnetic material in the body which will be hazardous for MR investigation

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Hepatic lipid content (HCL) assessed by 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Hepatic lipid content (HCL) assessed by 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Secondary Outcomes

  • insulin secretion and sensitivity based on validated indices (HOMA_IR, CLIX) • subcutaneous and visceral fat mass, body composition • Systolic and diastolic heart function, epicardial and pericardial fat mass • ectopic lipid deposition in the skeletal muscle and the myocardium • standardized blood pressure measurements (blood pressure for 24h hours and Schellong tests) • parameters of systemic inflammation (CRP, Il-6, PAI-1, TNF-alpha, homocysteine, leucocytes, monocytes)
