Twenty-four-hour growth hormone profiling in the assessment of acromegaly
DArcy R, Courtney C, Graham U, Hunter S, McCance D, Mullan K
Endocrinol Diabetes Metab . 2019 Mar; 1(1):e00007. PMID: 30815544
Objectives And Background: Recent guidelines recommend insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), random growth hormone (GH) and nadir GH on an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) for assessment of acromegaly. At this...

Comparison of 5% versus 15% sucrose intakes as part of a eucaloric diet in overweight and obese subjects: effects on insulin sensitivity, glucose metabolism, vascular compliance, body composition and lipid profile. A randomised controlled trial
Lewis A, McCourt H, Ennis C, Bell P, Courtney C, McKinley M, et al.
Metabolism . 2013 Feb; 62(5):694-702. PMID: 23363580
Aims: The effect of dietary sucrose on insulin resistance and the pathogenesis of diabetes and vascular disease is unclear. We assessed the effect of 5% versus 15% sucrose intakes as...

Low-fat versus low-carbohydrate weight reduction diets: effects on weight loss, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular risk: a randomized control trial
Bradley U, Spence M, Courtney C, McKinley M, Ennis C, McCance D, et al.
Diabetes . 2009 Sep; 58(12):2741-8. PMID: 19720791
Objective: Low-fat hypocaloric diets reduce insulin resistance and prevent type 2 diabetes in those at risk. Low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets are advocated as an alternative, but reciprocal increases in dietary fat...

Corticotropin tests for hypothalamic-pituitary- adrenal insufficiency: a metaanalysis
Kazlauskaite R, Evans A, Villabona C, Abdu T, Ambrosi B, Atkinson A, et al.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab . 2008 Aug; 93(11):4245-53. PMID: 18697868
Context: The diagnostic value of tests for detecting hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal insufficiency (HPAI) is controversial. Objective: Our objective was to compare standard-dose and low-dose corticotropin tests for diagnosing HPAI. Data Sources:...

All patients with 'idiopathic' hypopituitarism should be screened for hemochromatosis
Lewis A, Courtney C, Atkinson A
Pituitary . 2008 Feb; 12(3):273-5. PMID: 18270843
Hypopituitarism usually occurs as the result of a pituitary tumour or as a consequence of its treatment. If, however, pituitary imaging is negative then an alternative diagnosis should be sought....

Low- and standard-dose corticotropin and insulin hypoglycemia testing in the assessment of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function after pituitary surgery
Courtney C, McAllister A, Bell P, McCance D, Leslie H, Sheridan B, et al.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab . 2004 Apr; 89(4):1712-7. PMID: 15070935
The optimal means of assessing the integrity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis after pituitary surgery remains controversial. We compared low-dose (1 micro g iv) and standard-dose (250 micro g im)...

Effect of the alpha-adrenergic blocker, doxazosin, on endothelial function and insulin action
Courtney C, McCance D, Atkinson A, Bassett J, Ennis C, Sheridan B, et al.
Metabolism . 2003 Sep; 52(9):1147-52. PMID: 14506621
Essential hypertension is associated with impairment of both endothelial function and insulin action, and this has provided rationale for the use of antihypertensive agents that are at least neutral, if...
