We summarize the existing literature data concerning the involvement of skeletal muscle
(SM) in whole body glucose homeostasis and the contribution of SM insulin resistance (IR) …

Context: Although adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) are associated with a high prevalence of
cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors, it is not clear whether patients with nonfunctioning AI …

Mild hypercortisolism is defined as biochemical evidence of abnormal cortisol secretion
without the classical detectable manifestations of overt Cushing's syndrome and, above all …

The objective of the study was to assess insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic syndrome
