Patients underwent routine hematological, immunological, and biochemical testing after an overnight fast. Glucose and lipid values were determined by a Vista analyzer (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Deerfield, IL). Insulin was analyzed by a chemiluminescence immunoassay on a Siemens Immulite 2500 analyzer. HbA1c was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Complete blood count and differential was determined by Cell-Dyn Sapphire (Abbott Diagnostics, Santa Clara, CA). Total testosterone was measured by chemiluminescence immunoassay on a Siemens Immulite 2500 analyzer. The presence of the insulin receptor antibody was confirmed by measuring the ability of patients’ sera to immunoprecipitate recombinant human insulin receptors, as described previously (9 (link)). Titers were based on semiquantitative assessment of Western blot band intensities compared with a positive control and were scored by one observer (R.K.S.).

Venous whole blood samples were collected in tubes containing either ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or lithium heparin. Copeptin, MR-proANP and pro-ADM were determined in EDTA plasma by Time-Resolved Amplified Cryptate Emission (TRACE) technology on the KRYPTOR analyzer (BRAHMS, Henningsdorf, Germany).
Plasma levels of PCT and NT-proBNP were measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassays on a COBAS 8000 modular analyzer (Roche Diagnostics, Rotkreuz, Switzerland). IL-6 levels were analyzed using a chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay on an Immulite 2500 analyzer (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Zurich, Switzerland) and cystatin C was measured by immuno-nephelometry on a Behring nephelometer system (Dade Behring, Dudingen, Switzerland).
Plasma concentrations of AST, ALT, AP, bilirubin and CRP, were measured on a COBAS 8000 modular analyzer (Roche Diagnostics, Rotkreuz, Switzerland).

We quantified 23 steroids by LC-MS/MS, including three unconjugated ∆5-steroids, four steroid sulfates, 14 ∆4-steroids, and three 3α,5α-reduced steroids. Steroid extraction and quantitation was carried out as previously described (16 (link), 17 (link)). The 3α,5α-reduced steroids (Supplemental Table 1) were derivatized with 50 µL of 1 M ammonium hydroxide and 100 µL of 1 M hydroxylamine hydrochloride, as described for Δ5 steroids (16 (link), 22 (link)).
Plasma ACTH was analyzed at the NIH Clinical Center (Bethesda, MD) by chemiluminescent immunoassay on a Siemens Immulite 200 XPi analyzer or on a Siemens Immulite 2500 analyzer (before 2012; Munich, Germany). The assay had a sensitivity of 5 pg/mL, reference range of 0 to 46 pg/mL, and a within-run coefficient of variation of 1.61% to 3.36% at a mean concentration of 33.97 and 466 pg/mL, respectively, and a day-to-day variability of 3.09% to 4.16% at a mean concentration of 34 and 469 pg/mL, respectively. Plasma renin activity was analyzed by LC-MS/MS and inhibin B by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at the Mayo Medical Laboratories (Rochester, MN).

Adrenal Gland Histopathology Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The adrenal glands from all patients were processed as per routine histopathological procedures for diagnostic purposes. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)- stained slides and other appropriate IHC stainings (for example, inhibin-A dilution 1:100, Biogenex, Inc.; synaptophysin, dilution 1:100, Zymed, Inc) were reviewed. Detailed analysis of the pathology of these patients has been reported elsewhere6 . IHC on unstained slides from breast tumor tissue for patient CAR 615.05 was performed in collaboration with Histoserve, Inc.(Germantown, MD) using standard procedures. The primary antibody used was rabbit Anti-Ca, sc 903 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) and the secondary antibody was rabbit polyclonal Anti- IgG (Sigma-Aldrich Inc., St. Louis, MO). ACTH was measured using the chemiluminescence immunoassay on an Immulite 200 XPi analyzer (Siemens, Malvern, PA) Serum cortisol was measured using the chemiluminescence immunoassay on Siemens Immulite 2500 analyzer. (Siemens, Malvern, PA).

Fasting blood was drawn in the morning before taking medication. Hormones were analyzed at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (Bethesda, MD) unless noted otherwise. Testosterone, androstenedione, 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (Mayo Medical Labs, Rochester, MN); dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) by automated chemiluminescent immunometric assay (Mayo Medical Laboratories) until 2011 and by chemiluminescence immunoassay on Siemens Immulite 2500 analyzer (NIH) after 2011; parathyroid hormone (PTH) by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay on Roche Cobas e601 analyzer; and 25-hydroxyvitamin D by electrochemiluminescence binding assay on Roche Cobas.

Fasting morning hormonal evaluation included measurement of serum 17-OHP, androstenedione, free and total testosterone, cortisol, ACTH, plasma renin activity, aldosterone, LH, and plasma fractionated metanephrines and catecholamines. Additionally, a fasting lipid panel, glucose, and serum insulin level were obtained. Plasma ACTH was analyzed at the NIH Clinical Center (Bethesda, MD) by chemiluminescent immunoassay on a Siemens Immulite 200 XPi analyzer or on a Siemens Immulite 2500 analyzer (before 2012; Munich, Germany). Adrenal biomarkers were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (prior to 2012: Mayo Medical Labs, Rochester, MN; otherwise NIH Clinical Center, Bethesda, MD).
Normal range for lab levels had slight variations with time. Upper limit of normal (ULN) for labs (highest during the study duration) were: 17-OHP (8.4 nmol/L), ACTH (13.2 pmol/L), Aldosterone (1.23 nmol/L), Androstenedione (10.8 nmol/L), Cortisol (690 nmol/L), Plasma free metanephrine (0.32 nmol/L), Renin (4.3 mcg/mL/hr).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
