Abstract
Introduction
Glucocorticoid-induced diabetes (GCID) is a prevalent health issue, generally attributed to insulin resistance. High doses of dexamethasone (DEX) are known to inhibit glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), but the effects of lower doses, commonly used in chronic therapy, and equipotent doses of other glucocorticoids (GCs) such as hydrocortisone (HC) and prednisone (PRED) remain underexplored. This study aimed to investigate these effects in vitro, and explore variations between patients.
Materials and methods
Dynamic perifusion assays were conducted on human islets to evaluate the impact of different GCs on GSIS. The islets were treated for 24 h with 250 nM PRED and other GCs at equipotent anti-inflammatory doses (HC: 1 μM; DEX: 38 nM).
Results
In 11 human islet donor preparations, 250 nM PRED, corresponding to a clinical oral dose of 5 mg/day, significantly inhibited the first and second phase of GSIS: area under the curve (AUC) decreased by 32.3% (P < 0.001), first phase by 41.5% (P < 0.001), and second phase by 38.4% (P < 0.001). Despite interindividual differences in GSIS response to PRED, no significant differences were observed according to body mass index, gender or age. Comparing the effects of GCs at equipotent anti-inflammatory doses, DEX had a more pronounced inhibitory effect on GSIS than HC or PRED.
Conclusions
In vitro, low-dose PRED treatment significantly impacted GSIS. DEX had a more unfavorable impact on GSIS than HC or PRED, indicating that metabolic effects do not align with anti-inflammatory potency.
期刊介绍:
The Annales d''Endocrinologie, mouthpiece of the French Society of Endocrinology (SFE), publishes reviews, articles and case reports coming from clinical, therapeutic and fundamental research in endocrinology and metabolic diseases. Every year, it carries a position paper by a work-group of French-language endocrinologists, on an endocrine pathology chosen by the Society''s Scientific Committee. The journal is also the organ of the Society''s annual Congress, publishing a summary of the symposia, presentations and posters. "Les Must de l''Endocrinologie" is a special booklet brought out for the Congress, with summary articles that are always very well received. And finally, we publish the high-level instructional courses delivered during the Henri-Pierre Klotz International Endocrinology Days. The Annales is a window on the world, keeping alert clinicians up to date on what is going on in diagnosis and treatment in all the areas of our specialty.
