The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is involved in the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure. Increased level of EC lipid mediators anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachydonoylglycerol (2AG) and/or a higher expression of cannabinoid receptor type 1 in central and peripheral districts are supposed to contribute to the development and maintenance of obesity and related dismetabolism. To understand the ECS response to insulin signal and to anthropometric and biochemical parameters...

Objective: Subclinical hypercortisolism (SH) has been associated with increased prevalence of hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, central obesity, osteoporosis and vertebral fractures. We aimed to investigate the accuracy of different SH diagnostic criteria in predicting the concomitant presence of these complications.Patiets: In this retrospective study we evaluated data of 231 patients (120 females and 111 males) affected with adrenal...
