Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis via the insulin-tolerance test (ITT), standard-dose (250 microg) ACTH test (SDT) and low-dose (1 microg) ACTH test (LDT) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). DESIGN The study group included 13 male patients with AS who were diagnosed according to the Modified New York criteria, and 8 healthy male subjects and was ...

OBJECTIVE To assess basal function and responsiveness of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in patients with ankylosing spondylitis during dynamic testing. METHODS Insulin induced hypoglycaemia (IIH) (Actrapid HM 0.1 IU/kg, as intravenous bolus) was induced in 17 patients and 11 healthy controls matched for age, sex, and body mass index. Concentrations of glucose, adrenocorticotrop...

OBJECTIVE To study the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS Fifty patients with RA participated in 3 groups: recent onset active RA (n = 20), longstanding active RA (n = 20) and long-standing RA in remission (n = 10), and were compared with 20 healthy controls. The activity of the HPA-axis was assessed under basal conditions and in resp...
متن کاملHypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function in patients with bipolar disorder.
BACKGROUND Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function, as variously measured by the responses to the combined dexamethasone/corticotrophin-releasing hormone (dex/CRH) test, the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) and basal cortisol levels, has been reported to be abnormal in bipolar disorder. AIMS To test the hypothesis that HPA axis dysfunction persists in patients in remission from...
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 ...
