metyrapone and Insulin Resistance

metyrapone has been researched along with Insulin Resistance in 7 studies

Metyrapone: An inhibitor of the enzyme STEROID 11-BETA-MONOOXYGENASE. It is used as a test of the feedback hypothalamic-pituitary mechanism in the diagnosis of CUSHING SYNDROME.
metyrapone : An aromatic ketone that is 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one in which the methyl groups at positions 1 and 4 are replaced by pyridin-3-yl groups. A steroid 11beta-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.15.4) inhibitor, it is used in the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency.

Insulin Resistance: Diminished effectiveness of INSULIN in lowering blood sugar levels: requiring the use of 200 units or more of insulin per day to prevent HYPERGLYCEMIA or KETOSIS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In 12 healthy men, 4-5 wk of rosiglitazone increased insulin sensitivity during insulin infusion but did not change 11beta-HSD1 mRNA or activity in sc adipose tissue, and insulin sensitization was unaffected by glucocorticoid blockade with a combination of metyrapone and RU38486."5.12Effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha and -gamma agonists on 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 in subcutaneous adipose tissue in men. ( Andrew, R; Homer, NZ; Karpe, F; Stimson, RH; Tan, GD; Wake, DJ; Walker, BR, 2007)
"Active Cushing's syndrome is associated with insulin resistance induced by the high and prolonged circulating level of glucocorticoids."2.46Management of diabetes mellitus in Cushing's syndrome. ( Munir, A; Newell-Price, J, 2010)
"Thus, hypoglycemia is followed by prolonged (6- to 8-h) insulin resistance."1.28Combined effect of growth hormone and cortisol on late posthypoglycemic insulin resistance in humans. ( Attvall, S; Fowelin, J; Lager, I; Smith, U; Von Schenck, H, 1989)
