The role of cortisol excess and deficiency in Metabolic syndrome
Adrian Isaza
Galen College of Nursing, USA
According to the first global report of theWorld Health Organization, the number of adults with diabetes has increased
to 422 million while causing 1.6 million deaths per year. This rise is largely due to type 2 diabetes mellitus. This
study involved a literature search (PUBMED) which identified randomized controlled trials and systematic/literature
reviews for interventions with an antidiabetic effect and risk factors that caused diabetes mellitus. Then studies were
searched on the effect on cortisol for the interventions and risk factors. Thirty-five functional foods, 27 supplements, 19
pharmaceuticals, 9 non-communicable diseases, 8 psychological conditions, six environmental factors and the effect of
physical activity were evaluated. The results revealed a positive correlation between cortisol and risk of insulin resistance.
These findings suggest that the hypothesis of diabetes mellitus type 2 being caused by chronic cortisol overproduction
is plausible.
