Bone mass and body composition of adult women with congenital virilizing 21-hydroxylase deficiency after glucocorticoid treatment since infancy

Abstract: Aim: To study bone mass, body composition and androgenic/anabolic activity in adult women with virilizing congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) treated with glucocorticoids since infancy and to relate this to the postmenarcheal glucocorticoid impact. Patients and methods: Thirteen adult women with virilizing CAH treated with gluco-and mineralocorticoids but otherwise medicine-free were investigated with respect to bone mineral content, body composition by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and endocrine status.

“…Glucocorticoids further increase fat mass, whereas androgens reduce it. Most studies have reported increased BMI in 21OHD patients (7,8), but not in all (9), and some studies have reported increased fat mass (7,8,9). Glucocorticoid therapy may also reduce bone mineral density (BMD), whereas androgens increase BMD in men (10), and studies have shown reduced (11), normal (12) and increased BMD (13) in 21OHD patients.…”

“…Estudos demonstram maior risco de sobrepeso e obesidade em crianças e adultos com HAC (4,(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). Neste estudo, não foram encontradas diferenças no peso corporal e em relação ao IMC; apesar de o grupo de mulheres com HAC-C-D21OH ter apresentado valores maiores em desvio-padrão, os resultados encontrados nos dois grupos casos e controles ficaram dentro dos valores normais de -2 a +2 desvios-padrão.…”

“…Composição corporal e deficiência de 21-hidroxilase atividade de renina plasmática), a tentativa de substituir suficientemente a deficiência do glicocorticoide (e/ou mineralocorticoide), com as menores doses possíveis e a distribuição mais satisfatória, não é sempre realizável (6), e a outra hipótese seria a possibilidade do aumento da MM como um possível resultado de excesso de andrógenos (20,24). No entanto, esta última não tem sido confirmada pelos pesquisadores, que demonstram valores mais elevados no %MG em pacientes com HAC quando comparados com os pares normais, sem encontrarem diferenças significativas em relação à MM (20,21,25).…”
