Role of metabolically active hormones in the insulin resistance associated with short-term glucocorticoid treatment.

While it is conceivable that a larger sample size, longer treatment duration, or non-fasting blood assays might have generated positive findings, the highly significant change in insulin sensitivity we observed with dexamethasone reassures us that our study design allowed for detection of major alterations in metabolic cytokines and hormones.
