Plasma levels of beta-endorphin, adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol during early and late alcohol withdrawal.
Endogenous opioid peptides are thought to participate in the phenomena of alcohol tolerance and withdrawal. Since in the pituitary gland, beta-endorphin (beta-EP) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) are produced from the same precursor molecule, pro-opiomelanocortin, it may be expected that alterations in plasma ACTH and cortisol levels should parallel changes in plasma beta-EP levels during...
متن کاملBasal serum cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone levels in patients with atopic dermatitis
Background Certain studies suggest that percutaneous absorption of topical steroids may cause suppression of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPAA) in atopic dermatitis (AD) patients. This study aimed to investigate the basal serum cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and IgE levels in patients with AD and their correlation with the disease severity. Methods Levels of basal serum...
متن کاملComparison between blood serum and salivary cortisol concentrations in horses using an adrenocorticotropic hormone challenge.
REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY In horses, serum cortisol concentration is considered to provide an indirect measurement of stress. However, it includes both free and bound fractions. The sampling method is also invasive and often stressful. This is not the case for salivary cortisol, which is collected using a more welfare-friendly method and represents a part of the free cortisol fraction, which...
متن کاملBasal and Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Stimulated Plasma Cortisol Levels Among Egyptian Autistic Children: Relation to Disease Severity
BACKGROUND Autism is a disorder of early childhood characterized by social impairment, communication abnormalities and stereotyped behaviors. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis deserves special attention, since it is the basis for emotions and social interactions that are affected in autism. AIM To assess basal and stimulated plasma cortisol, and adrenocorticotropic hormone ...
متن کاملBiological Variability in Serum Cortisol Concentration Post‐adrenocorticotropic Hormone Stimulation in Healthy Dogs
BACKGROUND The ACTH stimulation has low sensitivity for the diagnosis of hypercortisolism possibly as a result of biological and analytical variability. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To report the components of biological and analytical variability in serum cortisol concentration post-ACTH stimulation ([cortisol]) in healthy dogs. ANIMALS Fourteen healthy harrier hound dogs. METHODS The data were...
