Background: Both prevalence and incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is increasing. T1DM is associated with other autoimmune diseases, such as Addison’s disease (AD). This combination is rare, with estimated prevalence in Norway 20 per million. Having both DM & AD is associated with marked excess mortality.Objectives: To study prevalence and incidence of AD among patients with and without T1DM.Methods: Nationwide, observati...

Introduction: Glucocorticoids (GCs) play a crucial role in various physiological processes, with adipose tissue (AT) being an important target organ for their metabolic actions. Besides lipolytic action, the mechanistic regulation of GCs in human AT during physiological exposure is still unclear. We integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic data within the AT to identify mechanistic markers of GC action.Methods: In a randomised, cross-over trial, ten pat...

Context: Excess cortisol exposure and disruption of the circadian cortisol profile are both associated with adverse clinical outcome.Objective: The aim of this study was to identify unique metabolites and metabolic pathways associated with total cortisol exposure and the cortisol time profile.Design: A randomized, 12-week, two period, cross-over clinical trial.Patients and interventions: Eighteen adults with ...

Background: It is still undetermined whether patients with Cushing’s disease (CD) in remission have an increased mortality. Most previous studies are limited by small numbers of patients and/or short follow-up time.Objective: To study mortality in a nation-wide cohort of patients with CD during long-term follow-up.Methods: Patients with ICD codes for Cushing’s syndrome and/or CD, between 1987 and 2013, were identified in ...
