Plasma 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...

Normal cortisol response on low-dose synacthen (1 microg) test in children with Prader Willi syndrome.
INTRODUCTION It has been postulated that central adrenal insufficiency (CAI), resulting from hypothalamic dysfunction, may contribute to the increased unexplained death rates in Prader Willi syndrome (PWS). A study using the overnight metyrapone test reported a 60% prevalence of CAI in children with PWS. We used a low-dose Synacthen test to screen for CAI in children with PWS. METHODS We stud...
