Interaction Information:
Comment | Direct effects of cortisol on gluconeogenesis and other parameters of insulin resistance were determined in normal subjects. Cortisol administration in humans increases GP by stimulating gluconeogenesis. Smaller increases in serum cortisol may contribute to the abnormal glucose metabolism known to occur in the metabolic syndrome. |
