30 Min ACTH stimulation test as predictor of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical function. Comparison with
Acta Medica Scandinavica
|January 1, 1980
Abstract:
In 32 subjects the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) response to metyrapone was found to correlate significantly with the adrenocortical response to exogenous ACTH. This report provides additional evidence suggesting that a 30 min exogenous ACTH stimulation test accurately predicts the integrated responsiveness of the HPA system to various stimuli.
