Glucocorticoid (GC) overexposure period as observed in Cushing's syndrome (CS) is associated with the metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease, which persist after long-term correction of GC excess. We performed a mouse study to identify factors that modulate metabolic recovery from a GC overexposure period. Male C57Bl/6J mice, fed a low-fat diet (LFD) or a high-fat diet (HFD), received corticosterone (CORT) (50 mu g/mL) or vehicle in the drinking water for 4 weeks, followed by an 8-week washout period. Plasma circadian CORT, lipids, insulin, and glucose levels were assessed regularly. Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp and body composition were analyzed at week 12 under anesthesia. CORT treatment increased plasma CORT levels, food intake, and plasma insulin and lipid levels on both diets. CORT treatment abrogation normalized CORT levels, food intake, and body weight, whereas plasma insulin levels remained significantly higher in CORT-treated mice on both diets. Only on a HFD, CORT-treated mice had decreased lean body mass and higher fat mass. In conclusion, CORT excess period induces long-lasting metabolic changes and some are present only on a HFD. These observations indicate that diet-dependent CORT effects might contribute to the adverse cardiovascular risk profile observed in CS patients, and possibly also in subjects exposed to chronic stress.
