Purpose: The aim of the present study was to analyze the involvement of oxidative stress and inflammation in the modulation of glucocorticoid production in the adrenal cortex of diabetic rats. Methods: Male Wistar rats were treated with or without streptozotocin (STZ, an insulinopenic model of diabetes) and either α-lipoic (90 mg/kg ip.), α-tocopherol (200 mg/kg po.) or with STZ and supplemented with insulin (STZ + INS: 2.5U/day) for 4 weeks. Oxidative/nitrosative stress parameters and antioxidant enzymes were determined in adrenocortical tissues. Apoptosis and macrophage activation were evaluated by immunohistochemistry (TUNEL and ED1 + ). Basal and ACTH-stimulated corticosterone production were assessed by RIA and plasma ACTH levels were ...
