摘要
The Metabolic Syndrome is a diagnosis of increasing prevalence that is noted to share multiple clinical features with Cushing’s syndrome. Several studies suggest abnormalities in the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal axis to be associated with this disease and tissue-specific hypercortisolemia is being investigated as a possible contributing factor. More research is needed to explore the relation between cortisol and the metabolic syndrome which, if confirmed, will have major therapeutic and public health implications.
