Plasma cortisol was measured every 20 min for 24 h in 12 normal and 8 insulin-dependent, nonketotic, diabetic children treated with one daily injection of insulin. Plasma glucose was also measured every 20 min in the diabetic children. The diurnal pattern of cortisol secretion was identical. The mean 24-h plasma cortisol was similar in both groups, but significantly elevated in the diabetic children between 0200 and 0920 h. Peak cortisol levels were higher in the diabetic than in the normal children. No correlation was found between average plasma glucose and average plasma cortisol, or between the nocturnal change in plasma glucose and average nocturnal plasma cortisol in the diabetic subjects. These studies demonstrate an exaggeration of the normal nocturnal rise in plasma cortisol in diabetic children not related to the levels of plasma glucose.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
