متن کاملLaparoscopic Resection of a Virilizing Adrenocortical Tumor
Virilizing adrenocortical tumors are rare. Laparoscopic unilateral adrenalectomy with serum androgen surveillance may provide curative treatment for benign, functional adenomas. Herein, we describe a case of laparoscopic resection of a testosterone-producing adrenal tumor in a sixteen-year-old female.
متن کاملReduced adrenocortical responsiveness to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in socially subordinate female marmoset monkeys.
Socially subordinate female common marmoset monkeys undergo pronounced, chronic reductions in basal plasma cortisol levels, which appear to result both from socially induced suppression of reproductive hormones and from direct effects of social subordination. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that this cortisol suppression is mediated by reduced adrenocortical responsiveness to adrenocort...
متن کاملAdrenocortical Responsiveness to Infusions of Physiological Doses of ACTH is not Altered in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Early studies of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) reported that abnormal function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) system was associated with the disorder. However, subsequent studies attempting to identify a specific aspect of HPA dysfunction that characterizes PTSD have been marked by considerable inconsistency of results. A facet of HPA regulation that has been consider...
متن کاملVirilizing Adrenocortical Oncocytoma in a Child: A Case Report
