troglitazone and Cushing Syndrome

troglitazone has been researched along with Cushing Syndrome in 3 studies

Troglitazone: A chroman and thiazolidinedione derivative that acts as a PEROXISOME PROLIFERATOR-ACTIVATED RECEPTORS (PPAR) agonist. It was formerly used in the treatment of TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS, but has been withdrawn due to hepatotoxicity.

Cushing Syndrome: A condition caused by prolonged exposure to excess levels of cortisol (HYDROCORTISONE) or other GLUCOCORTICOIDS from endogenous or exogenous sources. It is characterized by upper body OBESITY; OSTEOPOROSIS; HYPERTENSION; DIABETES MELLITUS; HIRSUTISM; AMENORRHEA; and excess body fluid. Endogenous Cushing syndrome or spontaneous hypercortisolism is divided into two groups, those due to an excess of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN and those that are ACTH-independent.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"After evaluating a patient who appeared to have a falsely abnormal response to the dexamethasone suppression test while taking troglitazone, we examined the effects of troglitazone on the activity of hepatic CYP3A4 and the screening tests for Cushing's syndrome."3.72Troglitazone induces CYP3A4 activity leading to falsely abnormal dexamethasone suppression test. ( Dimaraki, EV; Jaffe, CA, 2003)
"Troglitazone (TGZ) treatment, beginning at 6 weeks of age, prevented the hyperglycemia, the hyperlipidemia, and the increase in 11beta-HSD-1."1.32Increased expression and activity of 11beta-HSD-1 in diabetic islets and prevention with troglitazone. ( Agarwal, AK; Duplomb, L; Lee, Y; Park, BH; Takaishi, K; Unger, RH; Wang, MY, 2004)
