Sex-dependent alteration in cortisol response to endogenous adrenocorticotropin.
We have investigated ACTH and cortisol secretion patterns in two groups of five healthy adult male and female subjects. Plasma samples were obtained at 10-min intervals for 24 h, and pulsatile hormone release was analyzed by a multiparameter deconvolution technique. ACTH secretion was greater in male than female subjects; the production rate per 24 h was 139 +/- 7 pmol/L distribution volume in ...
متن کاملPlasma cortisol response to 1-24 adrenocorticotropin in patients with treated/untreated sellar & suprasellar mass lesions.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES One microgram short synacthene test is widely recommended as a screening test for evaluation of hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical axis in patients with secondary adrenal insufficiency. Information on adequacy of cortisol response to this dose at different periods of the day in patients with hypothalamic-pituitary disorders is not available. Hence, this study was desig...
متن کاملCross-regulation of cortisol secretion by adrenocorticotropin and platelet-activating factor in perfused guinea pig adrenals.
We examined the cross-regulation of signaling between ACTH-and platelet-activating factor (PAF)-mediated steroidogenesis in the perfused guinea pig adrenal gland. Our method of in situ perfusion using an artificial medium can evaluate whether cortisol secretion in response to ACTH and PAF is interactive. Treating adrenal glands with 100 pg/ml ACTH diminished the subsequent cortisol response to ...

متن کاملThromboxane A2 acts on the brain to mediate hemodynamic, adrenocorticotropin, and cortisol responses.
Conditions that increase the formation of thromboxane A2(TxA2) also result in activation of hemodynamic and adrenocortical responses. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that TxA2 acts directly on the brain to mediate these responses. Adult sheep were chronically instrumented with vascular and intracerebroventricular catheters. The TxA2 analog U-46619 (0, 100, or 1,000 ng ⋅ kg-...
