Relationship between cortisol increment and basal cortisol: implications for the low-dose short adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation test.
BACKGROUND We analyzed the low-dose (1 microg) rapid adrenocorticotropic hormone test (LDST) in 17 patients with a normal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to determine reference intervals for the LDST on the basis of poststimulation cortisol increments. METHODS We analyzed test results for 17 patients (14 females and 3 males; age range, 18-46 years) who had received a 2-mL aliquot of low-d...
متن کاملThe Effect of Maternal Anemia and Umbilical Cord Cortisol Level on Birth Weight and Length
Background & Aims: Maternal anemia in pregnancy is a considerable risk factor for both mother and fetus. Growth retardation, intra uterine fetal death, maternal cardiovascular symptoms and reduction in blood supply are among outcomes of maternal anemia. Since there are different reports about the relationship between low maternal hemoglobin level and low birght weight, the precent study was des...
متن کاملCHAPTER 2 Diurnal Cortisol Patterns and Stress Reactivity in Child Holocaust Survivors
Late-life implications of early traumatic stress for the adreno-cortical system were examined in a sample of 133 child survivors of the Holocaust,who were subjected to Nazi persecution during infancy. Method: In a non-convenience sample of child survivors, born between 1935-1944, basal circadian cortisol release and cortisol reactivity to a stressor were assessed. Results: Age, parental loss du...
متن کاملCortisol response to ACTH stimulation correlates with blood interleukin 6 concentration in healthy humans.
OBJECTIVE Interleukin 6 (IL6) has the ability to influence each level of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis. The aim of the study was to test whether IL6 concentration correlates with the adrenal cortex response to ACTH in healthy humans. We postulated that higher basal IL6 concentration would be associated with the higher cortisol response to the stimulation. DESIGN AND METH...
