Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in the assessment of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
CONTEXT The role of dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S) in assessing the integrity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in patients with suspected insufficiency is uncertain. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to prospectively evaluate the diagnostic value of DHEA-S on HPA function in consecutive patients with suspected HPA insufficiency with and without pituitary lesion...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between age- and gender-adjusted dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) levels and low-dose adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation in assessing the integrity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, in patients who were at risk of HPA insufficiency, including those currently being treated with glucocorticoids. METHODS Forty-six particip...
متن کاملThe Role of the Endocannabinoids in Suppression of the Hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal Axis Activity by Doxepin
Objective(s) The mechanism(s) by which antidepressants regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis remain elusive. The endocannabinoid system (eCBs) which exhibits antidepressant potential, appears to regulate the HPA axis activity. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the role of the eCBs in the action of doxepin including its effect on the HPA axis. Materials and Methods Male Wist...
متن کاملMethamphetamine and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis
Psychostimulants such as methamphetamine (MA) induce significant alterations in the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. These changes in HPA axis function are associated with altered stress-related behaviors and might contribute to addictive processes such as relapse. In this mini-review we discuss acute and chronic effects of MA (adult and developmental exposure) on the ...
