Estados de pseudo-Cushing

Abstract: Síndromes de pseudo-Cushing são um grupo heterogêneo de doenças, incluindo alcoolismo, anorexia nervosa, obesidade visceral e depressão, que compartilham muitas das características clínicas e bioquímicas da síndrome de Cushing. Os mecanismos responsáveis para a gênese da síndrome de pseudo-Cushing são fracamente compreendidos. Tem sido sugerido que o hipercortisolismo da síndrome de pseudo-Cushing pode ser resultante do aumento da secreção do hormônio liberador de corticotrofina (CRH) hipotalâmico no contexto … Show more

“…Although its pathogenesis is not fully understood, the etiology includes obesity, malnutrition, estrogen disorders, chronic alcoholism, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, extreme stress, and psychiatric disorders 20 . Although differentiation between the two syndromes is difficult to make, PCS is not a progressive disease and tends to regress when the cause is treated, 6 just as it happened with the animals featured in this report. In humans, the distinction between PCS and Cushing's syndrome poses a significant clinical challenge.…”

“…Na obesidade, é descrito aumento do clearance metabólico do cortisol, que levaria a um maior estímulo do eixo hipotálamo-hipófise-adrenal, determinando um hipercortisolismo funcional (110) . A obesidade submete o organismo a um estresse crônico e, embora ainda não haja uma clara compreensão sobre os efeitos deste estado no cérebro, acredita-se que as adaptações deletérias do eixo hipotálamo-hipófise-adrenal produzem disfunção hipocampal (111) .…”
