Low plasma cortisol concentrations during late asthmatic responses.
Thirteen atopic patients with asthma volunteered to take part in the study. All had a history of episodic dyspnoea with wheezing or chest tightness on exposure to allergens (house dust, Candida albicans, and wheat flours). None had received corticosteroids therapeutically. Allergen inhalation tests showed that five of the patients had late asthmatic responses alone, four had immediate asthmatic...
متن کاملPlasma cortisol concentrations during Caesarean section.
The effects of extradural and general anaesthesia on the adrenocortical response to elective or emergency Caesarean section were studied in 72 patients. Maternal plasma concentrations of cortisol were measured before surgery, at delivery, and 30 and 60 min after skin incision. Umbilical vein and artery plasma cortisol concentrations at delivery were determined also. Maternal plasma cortisol con...
متن کاملCardiorespiratory responses and plasma cortisol concentrations in dogs treated with medetomidine before undergoing ovariohysterectomy.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate effects of medetomidine on anesthetic dose requirements, cardiorespiratory variables, plasma cortisol concentrations, and behavioral pain scores in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy. DESIGN Randomized, prospective study. ANIMALS 12 healthy Walker-type hound dogs. PROCEDURE Dogs received medetomidine (40 micrograms/kg [18.2 micrograms/lb] of body weight, i.m.; n = 6)...
متن کاملLow birth weight predicts elevated plasma cortisol concentrations in adults from 3 populations.
Low birth weight is linked with raised blood pressure in adult life. Recent evidence has suggested that a neuroendocrine disturbance involving the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis could mediate this link. We therefore investigated the relation between birth weight and fasting plasma cortisol concentrations and the association of cortisol with current blood pressure in population samples of 1...
متن کاملElevated plasma cortisol concentrations: a link between low birth weight and the insulin resistance syndrome?
Recent studies have shown that reduced fetal growth is associated with the development of the insulin resistance syndrome in adult life. The mechanisms are not known. However increased activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPAA) may underlie this association; the axis is known to be reset by fetal growth retardation in animals, and there is evidence in humans of an association be...
