This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), is funding a $190,481 research project at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to explore the pathophysiology and treatment approaches for mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS). The research aims to compare the effects of adrenalectomy versus weight loss using the drug tirzepatide on insulin resistance, steroid profile, body composition, and cardiometabolic outcomes in MACS patients. The project will also conduct a prospective study to evaluate the impact of tirzepatide on weight loss, body composition, and cardiometabolic changes in MACS patients versus matched controls. The research, which runs from July 2025 to May 2030, seeks to provide insights into the underlying mechanisms of MACS and identify improved treatment strategies for this condition.
