      Objective - Increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease has been reported in autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD), but pathomechanisms are poorly understood.<p> <p<Design - Cross-sectional study.<p> <p>Methods - We compared serum levels of 177 cardiovascular and inflammatory biomarkers in 43 patients with AAD at >18-h glucocorticoid withdrawal and 43 matched controls, overall and stratified ...

      Objective:<br>To determine the relationship between serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), directly measured free 25(OH)D and calculated free 25(OH)D with regard to vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) phenotypes, sex, BMI, age and season, and their interrelationship to vitamin D supplementation.<br>Design, patients and interventions:<br>A randomized controlled trial with 20 000 IU of vitamin D3 per ...
    • Glucose metabolism, genetic factors, vitamin D binding protein and directly measured free 25-hydroxyvitamin D -Results from a randomized controlled trial with high-dose vitamin D supplementation in subjects with prediabetes 

      Sollid, Stina Therese (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-04-21)
      Tidligere studier har vist en sammenheng mellom vitamin D-nivåer og type 2 diabetes, men om vitamin D kan brukes for å forebygge type 2 diabetes, har ikke vært kjent. 511 personene ble inkludert i studien og jevnt fordelt til å motta enten ukentlig høy-dose vitamin D-tilskudd eller narremedisin (placebo). Etter ett år var det ingen effekt av vitamin D-tilskudd på utviklingen av type 2 diabetes ...

      Purpose: Residual adrenocortical function, RAF, has recently been demonstrated in one-third of patients with autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD). Here, we set out to explore any influence of RAF on the levels of plasma metanephrines and any changes following stimulation with cosyntropin. Methods: We included 50 patients with verified RAF and 20 patients without RAF who served as controls upon cosyntropin ...

      <i>Context</i> - Contrary to current dogma, growing evidence suggests that some patients with autoimmune Addison disease (AAD) produce corticosteroids even years after diagnosis.<p> <p><i>Objective</i> - To determine frequencies and clinical features of residual corticosteroid production in patients with AAD.<p> <p><i>Design</i> - Two-staged, cross-sectional clinical study in 17 centers (Norway, ...
