Hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal function in intrinsic non-atopic asthma.
Sixteen patients with intrinsic non-atopic asthma with persistent wheezing who had never been treated with corticosteroids showed normal adrenocortical responses to prolonged stimulation with Tetracosactin Depot. In a subgroup of six patients the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) response to a standard insulin stress test was normal. It is concluded that impaired responsiveness of the HPA axi...
متن کاملHypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis and adrenal function before and after ovariectomy in premenopausal women.
The hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is modulated by sex hormones. Few data exist on the relation between acute estrogen deficit and HPA axis response to corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). The effects of a sudden drop in estradiol levels on basal and CRH-stimulated levels of ACTH, cortisol, testosterone, androstenedione and 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) were assessed in nine preme...
متن کاملSpinal and supraspinal analgesic effects of Nimodipine : The role of Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Adrenal(HPA) axis .
Nimodipine, an L-type calcium channel blocker, can induce analgesia. However, it is not clear that this analgesic effect is at the level of spinal or supraspinal pain pathway. In addition, it has been reported that the analgesic effect of nifedipine, another L-type calcium channel blocker is related to the HPA axis, but there is no report indicating the role of this axis in the analgesic eff...
متن کاملStudy of hypothalamo pituitary adrenal axis in frail elderly subjects.
BACKGROUND Frail elderly people are at increased risk of death and disability from minor environmental stresses such as infection because they do not have the reserves to respond and maintain adequate homeostasis Studies have shown that elderly patients had a significantly smaller response to ACTH stimulation test. Due to paucity of data regarding HPA axis functioning in frail elderly in Indian...
