NAMES is used also for the history of names or name changes of corporate bodies, such as medical societies, universities, hospitals, government agencies, etc.
Adrenal Cortex
The outer layer of the adrenal gland. It is derived from MESODERM and comprised of three zones (outer ZONA GLOMERULOSA, middle ZONA FASCICULATA, and inner ZONA RETICULARIS) with each producing various steroids preferentially, such as ALDOSTERONE; HYDROCORTISONE; DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE; and ANDROSTENEDIONE. Adrenal cortex function is regulated by pituitary ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).
Kallmann Syndrome
A genetically heterogeneous disorder caused by hypothalamic GNRH deficiency and OLFACTORY NERVE defects. It is characterized by congenital HYPOGONADOTROPIC HYPOGONADISM and ANOSMIA, possibly with additional midline defects. It can be transmitted as an X-linked (GENETIC DISEASES, X-LINKED), an autosomal dominant, or an autosomal recessive trait.
Hypogonadism
Condition resulting from deficient gonadal functions, such as GAMETOGENESIS and the production of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES. It is characterized by delay in GROWTH, germ cell maturation, and development of secondary sex characteristics. Hypogonadism can be due to a deficiency of GONADOTROPINS (hypogonadotropic hypogonadism) or due to primary gonadal failure (hypergonadotropic hypogonadism).
Puberty, Delayed
The lack of development of SEXUAL MATURATION in boys and girls at a chronological age that is 2.5 standard deviations above the mean age at onset of PUBERTY in a population. Delayed puberty can be classified by defects in the hypothalamic LHRH pulse generator, the PITUITARY GLAND, or the GONADS. These patients will undergo spontaneous but delayed puberty whereas patients with SEXUAL INFANTILISM will not.
Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone
A decapeptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of both pituitary gonadotropins, LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. GnRH is produced by neurons in the septum PREOPTIC AREA of the HYPOTHALAMUS and released into the pituitary portal blood, leading to stimulation of GONADOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.
Receptors, LHRH
Receptors with a 6-kDa protein on the surfaces of cells that secrete LUTEINIZING HORMONE or FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE, usually in the adenohypophysis. LUTEINIZING HORMONE-RELEASING HORMONE binds to these receptors, is endocytosed with the receptor and, in the cell, triggers the release of LUTEINIZING HORMONE or FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE by the cell. These receptors are also found in rat gonads. INHIBINS prevent the binding of GnRH to its receptors.

Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne
An X-linked recessive muscle disease caused by an inability to synthesize DYSTROPHIN, which is involved with maintaining the integrity of the sarcolemma. Muscle fibers undergo a process that features degeneration and regeneration. Clinical manifestations include proximal weakness in the first few years of life, pseudohypertrophy, cardiomyopathy (see MYOCARDIAL DISEASES), and an increased incidence of impaired mentation. Becker muscular dystrophy is a closely related condition featuring a later onset of disease (usually adolescence) and a slowly progressive course.

Dystrophin
A muscle protein localized in surface membranes which is the product of the Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy gene. Individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy usually lack dystrophin completely while those with Becker muscular dystrophy have dystrophin of an altered size. It shares features with other cytoskeletal proteins such as SPECTRIN and alpha-actinin but the precise function of dystrophin is not clear. One possible role might be to preserve the integrity and alignment of the plasma membrane to the myofibrils during muscle contraction and relaxation. MW 400 kDa.
Muscular Dystrophy, Animal
Mice, Inbred mdx
A strain of mice arising from a spontaneous MUTATION (mdx) in inbred C57BL mice. This mutation is X chromosome-linked and produces viable homozygous animals that lack the muscle protein DYSTROPHIN, have high serum levels of muscle ENZYMES, and possess histological lesions similar to human MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY. The histological features, linkage, and map position of mdx make these mice a worthy animal model of DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY.

On the meaning of low-dose ACTH(1-24) tests to assess functionality of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. (1/142)

To analyse further the ACTH(1-24) low-dose test, which is of clinical interest, we have examined the dose-response relationship between plasma ACTH(1-24) and cortisol concentrations after i.v. administration of increasing doses (1, 5 or 250 microg) of ACTH(1-24) as a bolus. In addition, we have measured plasma ACTH(1-39) and cortisol levels after an insulin tolerance test (ITT). Although there was a dose response relationship between plasma ACTH(1-24) immunoreactivity and the dose injected, cortisol peaks were comparable, but lower than those reached after an ITT. Under these experimental conditions, an increase in plasma ACTH as low as 13 pmol/l (i.e. the increase obtained with the 1 microg dose) induced a near maximal cortisol response. Following injection of 1 microg ACTH(1-24), peak ACTH values were short lasting, similar to physiological daily bursts. After injection of 5 microg ACTH(1-24), plasma ACTH concentrations were higher than those reached during an ITT, but clearly shorter lasting. Injection of 250 microg ACTH(1-24) induced strikingly supraphysiological levels of plasma ACTH. We conclude that neither regular nor low-dose ACTH tests can fully reproduce the ITT. Our observations strongly suggest that the low-dose ACTH(1-24) test (1 microg) can be useful to estimate the adrenal sensitivity under basal, physiological conditions.  (+info)

Tests of adrenal insufficiency. (2/142)

AIM: In suspected adrenal insufficiency, the ideal test for assessing the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis is controversial. Therefore, three tests were compared in patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of adrenal insufficiency. METHOD: Responses to the standard short Synacthen test (SSST), the low dose Synacthen test (LDST), and the 08:00 hour serum cortisol concentration were measured in 32 patients. A normal response to the synacthen test was defined as a peak serum cortisol of >/= 500 nmol/l and/or incremental concentration of >/= 200 nmol/l. The sensitivity and specificity of the 08:00 hour serum cortisol concentration compared with other tests was calculated. RESULTS: Three patients had neither an adequate peak nor increment after the SSST and LDST. All had a serum 08:00 hour cortisol concentration of < 200 nmol/l. Eight patients had abnormal responses by both criteria to the LDST but had normal responses to the SSST. Three reported amelioration of their symptoms on hydrocortisone replacement. Twenty one patients had a normal response to both tests (of these, 14 achieved adequate peak and increment after both tests and seven did not have an adequate peak after the LDST but had a normal increment). The lowest 08:00 hour serum cortisol concentration above which patients achieved normal responses to both the LDST and SSST was 500 nmol/l. At this cut off value (compared with the LDST), the serum 08:00 hour cortisol concentration had a sensitivity of 100% but specificity was only 33%. CONCLUSION: The LDST revealed mild degrees of adrenal insufficiency not detected by the SSST. The value of a single 08:00 hour serum cortisol concentration is limited.  (+info)

Regression of cardiac abnormalities after replacement therapy in Addison's disease. (3/142)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate by echocardiography the cardiac structure and function in patients with primary adrenocortical insufficiency. DESIGN AND METHODS: Two-dimensionally guided M-mode echocardiograms and spectral Doppler studies were performed in seven consecutive patients with newly diagnosed autoimmune primary adrenal failure before and 4-8 months after an adequate regimen of steroid substitution. Echocardiographic parameters were also studied in ten healthy controls. RESULTS: In the cases with untreated Addison's disease, both left ventricular end-systolic and end-diastolic dimensions were significantly reduced in comparison with those in controls (P<0.01). Four patients had echocardiographic signs of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) at the anterior leaflet, with no evidence of mitral regurgitation by Doppler echocardiography. Systolic clicks characteristic of MVP were present on auscultation in two of these cases. Left ventricular chamber size normalized, i.e. significantly increased (P<0.01), and both echocardiographic and physical signs of MVP resolved after steroid substitution in all patients. All other echocardiographic indices were normal before and after treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with untreated Addison's disease have cardiac abnormalities which regress after steroid substitution. A valvular-ventricular disproportion due to the hypovolemic state could explain these findings.  (+info)

Adrenocortical response profiles to corticotrophin-releasing hormone and adrenocorticotrophin challenge in the chronically catheterized adult guinea-pig. (4/142)

The guinea-pig has been used extensively to investigate adrenal steroidogenesis. However, very little is known about adrenocortical responses to corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) and adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) in this species, in vivo. In the present study, we have developed a stress-free sampling system, in the chronically catheterized adult guinea-pig, that has allowed us to investigate basal and activated adrenocortical activity. Indwelling carotid artery and jugular vein catheters were surgically implanted into female guinea-pigs (n = 5). Each animal was treated with vehicle, human CRH (0.2 or 2 microg kg-1) and ACTH1-24 (0.2 or 2 microg kg-1), and serial plasma samples removed for analysis of ACTH and cortisol concentrations by radioimmunoassay. There was no effect of serial sampling on pituitary-adrenocortical activity, indicating that the animals remain in an unstressed state. Basal plasma ACTH and cortisol concentrations were 703.9 +/- 24.5 pg ml-1 and 117.9 +/- 5.2 ng ml-1, respectively. Both CRH and ACTH significantly increased adrenocortical activity in a dose-dependent manner. ACTH (2 microg kg-1) was the most potent activator leading to plasma cortisol concentrations of 647 +/- 116 ng ml-1. In conclusion, we have shown that basal plasma cortisol concentrations in the guinea-pig are low compared to those obtained in previous studies by cardiac puncture or following decapitation. However, plasma ACTH concentrations are high compared to other species. We have also shown that human CRH and ACTH1-24 act as potent activators of the guinea-pig pituitary-adrenocortical axis, leading to response profiles consistent with mild cortisol resistance.  (+info)

Effect of adrenocorticotrophic hormone on sodium appetite in mice. (5/142)

A main vector of the effects of stress is secretion of corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF), adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH), and adrenal steroids. Systemic administration of ACTH (2.8 microgram/day sc) for 7 days in BALB/c mice caused a very large increase of voluntary intake of 0.3 M NaCl equivalent to turnover of total body sodium content each day. Intracerebroventricular infusion of ACTH (20 ng/day) had no effect. Intracerebroventricular infusion of ovine CRF (10 ng/h for 7 days) caused an increase of sodium intake. The large sodium appetite-stimulating effect of systemic ACTH was not influenced by concurrent systemic infusion of captopril (2 mg/day). Induction of stress by immobilization of mice on a running wheel caused an increase in Na appetite associated with a 50% decrease of thymus weight, indicative of corticosteroid effects. The present data suggest that stress and the hormone cascade initiated by stress evoke a large sodium appetite in mice, which may be an important survival mechanism in environmental conditions causing stress.  (+info)

Evidence that melanocortin 4 receptor mediates hemorrhagic shock reversal caused by melanocortin peptides. (6/142)

Melanocortin peptides are known to be extremely potent in causing the sustained reversal of different shock conditions, both in experimental animals and humans; the mechanism of action includes an essential brain loop. Three melanocortin receptor subtypes are expressed in brain tissue: MC(3), MC(4,) and MC(5) receptors. In a volume-controlled model of hemorrhagic shock in anesthetized rats, invariably causing the death of control animals within 30 min after saline injection, the i.v. bolus administration of the adrenocorticotropin fragment 1-24 (agonist at MC(4) and MC(5) receptors) at a dose of 160 microg/kg i.v. (54 nmol/kg) produced an almost complete and sustained restoration of cardiovascular and respiratory functions. An equimolar dose of gamma(1)-melanocyte stimulating hormone (selective agonist at MC(3) receptors) was completely ineffective. The selective antagonist at MC(4) receptors, HS014, although having no influence on cardiovascular and respiratory functions per se, dose-dependently prevented the antishock activity of adrenocorticotropin fragment 1-24, with the effect being complete either at the i.v. dose of 200 microg/kg or at the i.c.v. dose of 5 microg/rat (17-20 microg/kg). We concluded that the effect of melanocortin peptides in hemorrhagic shock is mediated by the MC(4) receptors in the brain.  (+info)

Effect of leptin on ACTH-stimulated secretion of cortisol in rhesus macaques and on human adrenal carcinoma cells. (7/142)

OBJECTIVE: Because glucocorticoids stimulate leptin release and, at least in vitro, leptin inhibits cortisol secretion, a feedback system between glucocorticoids and leptin has been proposed. However, in humans and non-human primates there are no in vivo studies to support any role for leptin in the control of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. In this study, we investigated the effect of leptin on (i) ACTH-stimulated secretion of cortisol in six male rhesus monkeys and (ii) basal and forskolin (FSK)-stimulated cortisol secretion by the human adrenal carcinoma cell H295R in vitro. DESIGN AND METHODS: In vivo studies: after suppression of endogenous ACTH with either dexamethasone (n=6) or a corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) antagonist (d-Phe CRF(12-41)) (n=3), 1 microg bolus of human ACTH(1-24) was administered to stimulate adrenal cortisol release. Blood samples were collected every 15 min for 3 h. Leptin (1 mg) was infused over 4 h, starting 1 h before ACTH bolus. IN VITRO STUDIES: NCI-H295R cells were incubated for 6, 12, 24 and 48 h in the absence or presence of 20 micromol/l FSK in combination with leptin (100 ng/ml medium). Cortisol levels in serum and medium were measured by solid phase radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: Acute leptin infusion to rhesus monkeys did not change basal cortisol levels, peak cortisol levels after ACTH(1-24) or the area under the curve when compared with studies in which leptin was not given. FSK increased cortisol levels in medium at 24 and 48 h, but leptin did not change cortisol release in either control or FSK-stimulated cells. CONCLUSIONS: Short-term leptin infusion affected neither the cortisol response to ACTH in non-human primates in vivo nor cortisol release (basal or FSK stimulated) by H295R cells, in vitro. These data suggest that leptin may not be an acute regulator of primate adrenal cortisol secretion.  (+info)

Isolated corticotropin deficiency in chronic alcoholism. (8/142)

Three patients who chronically abused alcohol were found to be hyponatraemic with normal plasma potassium. The first had been admitted with confusion and weight loss, the second with hypotension and sepsis, and the third with confusion and hypoglycaemia-induced seizures. All three patients had a subnormal cortisol response in the short synacthen test; however, the plasma cortisol after three days of tetracosactrin administration was greater than 550 nmol/L. Baseline corticotropin levels were less than 10 pg/mL in all three. No structural lesions of the hypothalamo-pituitary tract were found and there was no evidence of other endocrinopathies. Glucocorticoid replacement therapy led to the resolution of hyponatraemia and hypoglycaemia, where present, and to clinical improvement. The two surviving patients remained hypocortisolaemic in the long term, without recurrence of hyponatraemia or hypoglycaemia. The features of isolated corticotropin deficiency are easily confused with other effects of chronic alcohol abuse. In alcoholic patients with unexplained hyponatraemia, hypoglycaemia or haemodynamic instability, a short tetracosactrin test is advisable.  (+info)

Background:. High dose inhaled steroids can lead to adrenal suppression. It is not clear how the use of other steroids (nasal, topical or oral) in addition to inhaled steroids, affect adrenal suppression.. Aims. The aim of this study was to review past synacthen tests and try to determine steroid risk factors for those with suppressed cortisol.. Methods. A review of synacthen tests done over a 3 year period on patients with asthma was carried out. Data extracted and determined included age; BMI sd; calculated surface area, beclometasone equivalent steroid dose, oral steroid intake, other steroids (nasal, topical), and result of synacthen test.. Results. 19 synacthen tests were available for analysis. The average age was 11.3 years (range 4.6-16.2). 10 were boys. 6 patients were on doses of inhaled corticosteroids not recommended in the British National Formulary for Children (BNFc), and 3 of these had adrenal suppression. Of the remaining 13 patients only 2 had adrenal suppression. Only 2 ...

Data are represented as mean ± SD or median and 95% CI. Continuous data were compared with Student t test or Mann-Whitney U test when appropriate. Categoric data were analyzed with chi-square and Fisher exact test. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to assess the correlation between the cosyntropin test results and adrenal gland volume measurement. Sensitivity and specificity of adrenal volume and basal/response plasma cortisol concentration curves to predict mortality were assessed using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves and compared with the Mann-Whitney U test. The cutoff point for ROC was predetermined by the statistics software to automatically minimize the mathematic distance between the ROC curve and the ideal point as a method to minimize misclassification of patients.21 As previously reported, we also determined two cutoff points to detect volume, which predicts mortality with the best sensitivity and the best specificity.21 Survival at day 28 was estimated by ...

If cortisol in your blood is low, or your symptoms strongly suggest Addisons disease, youll need to have a synacthen stimulation test to confirm the diagnosis.. Your GP may refer you to an endocrinology unit (a unit that specialises in the study of hormones) for the test. How urgently youre referred depends on how severe your symptoms are.. Synacthen is a man-made (synthetic) copy of the adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). ACTH is naturally produced by the pituitary gland (a pea-sized gland below the brain) to encourage the adrenal glands to release the hormones cortisol and aldosterone. When synacthen is administered, the adrenal glands should respond in the same way as they would to ACTH, and release cortisol and other steroid hormones into the blood.. A blood sample will be taken and tested for cortisol, before an injection of synacthen is given into your arm. After 30 and 60 minutes, a further blood sample will be taken for cortisol measurement.. If the ACTH level is high, but the ...

Conclusions Lack of standardisation of assays and protocols with regard to timing, frequency and dose has resulted in diagnostic inaccuracies. There is no clear evidence to indicate that LDSST is superior to SSST in the assessment of HPA axis in children.

Tetracosactide - DrugBankTetracosactide - DrugBank
Tetracosactide (also known as Cosyntropin) is a synthetic peptide that is identical to the 24-amino acid segment (sequence: SYSMEHFRWGKPVGKKRRPVKVYP) at the N-terminal of adrenocorticotropic hormone. ACTH (1-24), a segment similar in all species, contains the biological activity that stimulates production of corticosteroids in the adrenal cortex. Tetracosactide exhibits the same activity as natural ACTH with regard to all its biological activities. The complex results in a product whose absorption in man is effected over a longer period of time as compared to corticotropin. Therefore, therapy may be maintained with less frequent administration.

Aim: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of mortality/morbidity and is associated with chronic neuroinflammation. Melanocortin receptor agonists including adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) ameliorate inflammation and provide a novel therapeutic approach. We examined the effect of long-acting cosyntropin (CoSyn), a synthetic ACTH analog, on the early inflammatory response and functional outcome following experimental TBI.Methods: The controlled cortical impact model was used to induce TBI in mice. Mice were assigned to injury and treatment protocols resulting in four experimental groups including sham + saline, sham + CoSyn, TBI + saline, and TBI + CoSyn. Treatment was administered subcutaneously 3 h post-injury and daily injections were given for up to 7 days post-injury. The early inflammatory response was evaluated at 3 days post-injury through the evaluation of cytokine expression (IL1β and TNFα) and immune cell response. Quantification of immune cell response included cell counts of

Addisons Disease - Oncology Nurse AdvisorAddisons Disease - Oncology Nurse Advisor
Once a clinical suspicion of Addisons disease is raised, the diagnosis should be confirmed by assessing the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to demonstrate inadequate cortisol production.. The first step is to check the basal cortisol secretion. In normal subjects serum cortisol levels peak around 6-8 AM with the normal range between 8 and 20mcg/dl. Although morning cortisol is not a reliable indicator of AI, based on current published data, AM cortisol levels less then 3 mcg/dl provide clear evidence that the patient has adrenal insufficiency while a value above 15mcg/dL virtually excludes the diagnosis. A salivary cortisol level is another screening method, but it is less commonly used and has different cutoff values.. In the second step, a Cosyntropin stimulation test is performed to assess adrenocortical reserve. The test can be performed at any time of the day and consists of intramuscular administration of 250mcg of synthetic human ACTH (Cosyntropin). Thirty to 60 minutes following ...

Secondary adrenal failure due to sepsisSecondary adrenal failure due to sepsis
Introduction: Hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis dysfunction is common in severely ill patients. Even slight impairment of adrenal response to severe illness can increase morbidity and mortality. Relative adrenal insufficiency has been associated with severe sepsis.. Case report: We report a case of 48-year-old lady who was admitted with septic shock secondary to epiglottitis requiring intubation and intensive care. Short synacthen test performed in view of her refractory hypotension confirmed adrenal insufficiency. Her concurrent ACTH level was suppressed which suggested possible secondary adrenal insufficiency. Patient made an uneventful recovery with hydrocortisone treatment. She was investigated further to assess her pituitary function and structure. Anterior pituitary hormonal profile and MRI scan of pituitary fossa were normal. Adrenal auto antibodies were not detected. Long synacthen test performed ten months later revealed a flat cortisol profile with an increment after 24 h consistent ...

The small-scale isolation and characterization of adrenocorticotrophin | Biochemical JournalThe small-scale isolation and characterization of adrenocorticotrophin | Biochemical Journal
Several methods for isolating adrenocorticotrophin from small quantities of porcine and bovine pituitary tissue are compared. Initial extraction of the hormone by an acid-acetone technique was simpler and more efficient than one employing acetic acid extraction and ether precipitation. Subsequent purification procedures utilizing adsorption of the peptide on to oxycellulose realized the highest yields. CM-cellulose-column chromatography followed by Sephadex-gel filtration were suitable final steps for obtaining highly purified adrenocorticotrophin. The purity of the hormone was demonstrated by determining its amino acid composition, C-terminal analysis, polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, chymotrypsin digestion and paper electrophoresis and by radioimmunoassay and bioassay. Adrenocorticotrophin was found to be rapidly destroyed in intact and especially in homogenized glands kept at room temperature. At 4° the rate of destruction was less rapid and at −20° losses were minimal.. ...

Steroid Therapy in a Surgical Treated Case of Ventricular Septal Defect with Congenital Adrenocortical InsufficiencySteroid Therapy in a Surgical Treated Case of Ventricular Septal Defect with Congenital Adrenocortical Insufficiency
A very rare case of congenital adrenocortical insufficiency accompanied with ventricular septal defect, is presented. Surgical treatment together with glucocorticoid replacement therapy was performed. The patient, a 4-month-old girl with congenital adrenocortical insufficiency, had been treated with a long-term adrenocortical hormones replacement. Surgical treatment for ventricular septal defect was applied in order to reduce the risk of heart failure. The administration dose of glucocorticoid was determined according to the body surface area and chronologic change of serum cortisol. Following the surgical treatment, and with adequate glucocorticoid replacement, the patient showed a good clinical outcome. In conclusion, we showed a beneficial treatment protocol with adequate glucocorticoid replacement in open heart surgery for a case of congenital adrenocortical insufficiency ...

Central adrenal insufficiency: open issues regarding diagnosis and glucocorticoid treatment.Central adrenal insufficiency: open issues regarding diagnosis and glucocorticoid treatment.
A summary of the article is shown below:. Background Central adrenal insufficiency (CAI) is characterized by impaired adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) secretion because of a disease or injury to the hypothalamus or the pituitary, leading to a reduced cortisol production. CAI suspicion arises more frequently in patients with pituitary tumors, cranial irradiation/surgery/injury/infections, as well as after exogenous glucocorticoid withdrawal. Nevertheless, a late diagnosis is not uncommon because CAI may present with nonspecific signs or symptoms, as fatigue or hyponatremia. Content The PubMed database was searched (years 1980-2018), using central adrenal insufficiency and ACTH deficiency as keywords. Subsequently, reference sections of the retrieved articles were searched. Summary Dynamic tests are needed when morning basal cortisol levels are not sufficient to exclude or to confirm CAI. Short Synacthen Test (SST) is the most used, and Endocrine Societys guidelines recommend a cortisol peak >500 ...

VANOS® (fluocinonide) Cream, 0.1%VANOS® (fluocinonide) Cream, 0.1%
Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids can produce reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression with the potential for gluococorticosteroid insufficiency after withdrawal of treatment. Manifestations of Cushings syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria can also be produced in some patients by systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids while on treatment. Use of more than one corticosteroid-containing product at the same time may increase total systemic glucocorticoid exposure. In addition, use of VANOS Cream for longer than 2 weeks may also suppress the immune system (see PRECAUTIONS: Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, and Impairment of Fertility).. Patients applying a topical steroid to a large surface area or to areas under occlusion should be evaluated periodically for evidence of HPA-axis suppression. This may be done by using cosyntropin (ACTH1-24) stimulation testing. Patients should not be treated with VANOS Cream for more than 2 weeks at a time and only small ...

Steroids and Vasopressor-Resistant Hypotension in Preterm Infants | Bentham ScienceSteroids and Vasopressor-Resistant Hypotension in Preterm Infants | Bentham Science
Keywords: Vasopressor-resistant hypotension, preterm neonate, hydrocortisone, relative adrenal insufficiency of prematurity, adrenergic receptor downregulation. Abstract: Despite our inability to appropriately define the gestational- and postnatal-age dependent normative values of blood pressure, hypotension is often been diagnosed and treated in preterm neonates especially during the transitional period. Although the perceived normal blood pressure values can be restored in the majority of preterm neonates by administration of volume and vasopressor-inotropes, some patients will not respond even to higher doses of vasoactive medications. In these neonates with so-called vasopressor-resistant hypotension, steroid administration is usually effective in increasing the blood pressure to the perceived normal range and decreasing vasopressor requirement. The etiology of vasopressor-resistant hypotension is thought to be a combination of transient adrenocortical insufficiency of prematurity and ...

Secondary adrenocortical insufficiency is most frequently caused by long-term corticosteroid administration, which leads to a hypothalamic-pituitary suppression and thus, inadequate ACTH production. After discontinuation of treatment, this type of adrenocortical insufficiency is reversible. In addition, neoplasms or inflammatory processes of hypothalamus and pituitary gland will also cause secondary insufficiency. ...

pressors - Critical Conceptspressors - Critical Concepts
So now consider the patient without Addisons, on no chronic suppressive steroid therapy, and without any reason to have adrenal insufficiency on this particular day.. They are acutely ill, however. Most classically, they have sepsis. And they are hypotensive.. Heres the issue: a significant portion of critically ill patients will develop a temporary relative adrenal insufficiency, even if they previously had normal adrenal function. This is especially common in the septic population, where observational studies have demonstrated depressed cortisol levels in as many as 60% of the sickest patients.. Presumably this is because these patients have adrenals that can produce enough cortisol for everyday function, but not enough to meet the increased demands of illness. Probably the pathophysiology is multifactorial. (For example, the sedative etomidate, often used for intubation, has been shown to temporarily suppress adrenal function.) But the fact is that many of our sick ICU patients will fail to ...

Why I Needed to Create the Circadian T3 Method (CT3M) and Why it Can Be So Helpful in Thyroid Patient Treatment | Paul Robinson...Why I Needed to Create the Circadian T3 Method (CT3M) and Why it Can Be So Helpful in Thyroid Patient Treatment | Paul Robinson...
I created this approach over twenty years ago, in order to raise my cortisol from a desperately low level to a healthy level.. It requires no use of hydrocortisone or adrenal glandulars to do this. It just the use of T3 thyroid medication (Liothyronine). For some people, it can also work with natural desiccated thyroid (NDT).. Let me explain how I came to create (or discover) the Circadian T3 Method (CT3M).. I had been on T3-Only (with no T4 medication at all), for about 6 or 9 months and felt better in many ways. However, my low cortisol issue was still there.. Low cortisol showed up in my 8:00 am morning blood test. On a 24-hour urinary cortisol collection, my total and free daily cortisol levels were near the bottom of the reference range. I had low cortisol all day long. However, I had passed a Synacthen test (ACTH Stimulation test), so my adrenals themselves were healthy. This latter situation is quite common with many thyroid patients, and I will return to this point.. In terms of low ...

Originally, I wanted this to be an ink pen sketch. But while I could tell what it was supposed to depict, I doubted that others could see it and when I asked people it was confirmed. So I decided to use ProMarkers to colour it, producing a neat comic book-feel which I really like.. This is my arm during my first SYNACTHEN-test in August. Crash course in pituitary gland function: its sometimes referred to as the master gland due to its control over a lot of our hormones. One hormone under its control is ACTH, which sends a signal to the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. During a SYNACTHEN-test, synthetic ACTH is injected and the medical personnel then draw blood to test the level of cortisol. If your body responds properly to the stimulation, youre not suffering from adrenal insufficiency. Mine didnt respond as it should have.. Basically this is a picture of the time I got my diagnosis of secondary adrenal insufficiency confirmed, which sucks. I dont know if its due to the personal ...

Addisons disease - WikipediaAddisons disease - Wikipedia
In suspected cases of Addisons disease, demonstration of low adrenal hormone levels even after appropriate stimulation (called the ACTH stimulation test or synacthen test) with synthetic pituitary ACTH hormone tetracosactide is needed for the diagnosis. Two tests are performed, the short and the long test. Dexamethasone does not cross-react with the assay and can be administered concomitantly during testing. The short test compares blood cortisol levels before and after 250 micrograms of tetracosactide (intramuscular or intravenous) is given. If, one hour later, plasma cortisol exceeds 170 nmol/l and has risen by at least 330 nmol/l to at least 690 nmol/l, adrenal failure is excluded. If the short test is abnormal, the long test is used to differentiate between primary adrenal insufficiency and secondary adrenocortical insufficiency. The long test uses 1 mg tetracosactide (intramuscular). Blood is taken 1, 4, 8, and 24 hr later. Normal plasma cortisol level should reach 1000 nmol/l by 4 hr. In ...

We included 13 small RCTs (479 participants) in this review (at least 274 participants were women, with 118 parturients after a lumbar puncture for regional anaesthesia). In the original version of this Cochrane review, only seven small RCTs (200 participants) were included. Pharmacological drugs assessed were oral and intravenous caffeine, subcutaneous sumatriptan, oral gabapentin, oral pregabalin, oral theophylline, intravenous hydrocortisone, intravenous cosyntropin and intramuscular adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).. Two RCTs reported data for PDPH persistence of any severity at follow-up (primary outcome). Caffeine reduced the number of participants with PDPH at one to two hours when compared to placebo. Treatment with caffeine also decreased the need for a conservative supplementary therapeutic option.. Treatment with gabapentin resulted in better visual analogue scale (VAS) scores after one, two, three and four days when compared with placebo and also when compared with ergotamine plus ...

The Impact of Your Brain on Adrenal Function | Stop Being TiredThe Impact of Your Brain on Adrenal Function | Stop Being Tired
One of the worst things we can do as we try to learn to deal with stress is to fail to recognize it for what it is. It is easy to simply point at everything in our lives that we deem frustrating and call them stress. But are those situations and events really stress, or merely what they appear to be: situations and events?. After all, what frustrates you might seem perfectly harmless to me, and vice versa. Given that observation, the reality is that those situations and events that we tend to refer to as stress are nothing more than potential stressors - outside stimuli that may or may not incite our internal stress responses. In other words, it is not what is happening around us that causes stress, but our subconscious response to those factors that ultimately determines whether or not the stress response is activated.. Thats where the brain comes into play. It is the brain that works to identify and categorize an untold number of outside stimuli every moment of every day. Some of these ...

The study was a placebo-controlled, double-blind randomized clinical trial performed in a burn intensive care unit in France. A total of 32 patients were initially randomized and only those that met the following inclusion criteria were enrolled: age between 18 and 75 years old, TBSA injury over 30% of the body surface, need for norepinephrine infusion between 24 and 72 hours after the burn injury at a dose > 0.5 μg/kg/min. The authors also sought to perform a subgroup analysis in patients presenting with relative adrenal insufficiency (RAI). A corticotropin test was performed in every patient to identify those presenting with RAI. The follow-up duration was of 9 days. After this follow-up, 27 patients were included in the analysis.

Addisons Disease: Do you take your morning cortef between 6-8 am?Addisons Disease: Do you take your morning cortef between 6-8 am?
I was just wondering if it matters what time you take your cortef in the morning. Since the normal cortisol rhythm has the highest level of the day between 6-8 am, do you take your cortef then? What if you don't get up until 9 am or so? I thought about taking cortef when I wake up to go to the bathroom, but since

Yes, I have been doubling and even tripling my meds for proper stress dosing as required for Adrenal Insufficiency / Addisons patients. But, these steps are not always a simple solution. Ive had long stretches of time that find this disease rather easy to manage, then other times hit where the disease is like a snapping pitbull coming after you while you keep jumping out of reach of its jaws, but it is an exhausting and terrifying process when you discover the pitbull wont back down and you have no where safe to turn. All you can do is keep doing your best to protect yourself from further harm. So, leveling out and managing our illness, especially during rough patches is not necessarily a snap. Going through the ups and downs of this disease can be exhausting in itself. We with Addisons / Adrenal Insufficiency can often end with feeling as if we are watching our body as it is being controlled by an uninvited foreigner and this can be scary, depressing and humbling. Compared to so many ...

Adrenocorticotropic hormoneAdrenocorticotropic hormone
ACTH stimulates secretion of glucocorticoid steroid hormones from adrenal cortex cells, especially in the zona fasciculata of the adrenal glands. ACTH acts by binding to cell surface ACTH receptors, which are located primarily on adrenocortical cells of the adrenal cortex. The ACTH receptor is a seven-membrane-spanning G protein-coupled receptor.[7] Upon ligand binding, the receptor undergoes conformation changes that stimulate the enzyme adenylyl cyclase, which leads to an increase in intracellular cAMP[8] and subsequent activation of protein kinase A. ACTH influences steroid hormone secretion by both rapid short-term mechanisms that take place within minutes and slower long-term actions. The rapid actions of ACTH include stimulation of cholesterol delivery to the mitochondria where the P450scc enzyme is located. P450scc catalyzes the first step of steroidogenesis that is cleavage of the side-chain of cholesterol. ACTH also stimulates lipoprotein uptake into cortical cells. This increases the ...

ACTH17
  • Cosyntropin is a man-made form of a hormone called adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). (drugs.com)
  • Cosyntropin is used as part of a medical test called an ACTH stimulation test. (drugs.com)
  • Cosyntropin is α 1-24 corticotropin, a synthetic subunit of ACTH. (drugs.com)
  • Cosyntropin exhibits the full corticosteroidogenic activity of natural ACTH. (drugs.com)
  • The pharmacologic profile of Cosyntropin is similar to that of purified natural ACTH. (drugs.com)
  • It has been established that 0.25 mg of Cosyntropin will stimulate the adrenal cortex maximally and to the same extent as 25 units of natural ACTH. (drugs.com)
  • The extra-adrenal effects which natural ACTH and Cosyntropin have in common include increased melanotropic activity, increased growth hormone secretion and an adipokinetic effect. (drugs.com)
  • This property of Cosyntropin assumes added importance in view of the known antigenicity of natural ACTH. (drugs.com)
  • It was shown that 21.6-58.6% of ACTH dosage had not been recovered when pushed through 20.3 cm plastic tube, and loss of ACTH may be up to 70% when cosyntropin was delivered through a plastic 30 cm scalp vein set. (clinicaltrials.gov)
  • In patients with a history of allergic reactions, monitor for hypersensitivity response (wheezing, rash or hives, and erythema) Cosyntropin is less likely than ACTH to cause such a response. (thefreedictionary.com)

  • Dynamic testing, including cosyntropin (ACTH) stimulation tests, growth hormone stimulation and suppression tests, and CRH (corticotrophin-releasing hormone) tests. (ohsu.edu)
  • Cosyntropin has less immunogenic activity than ACTH because the amino acid sequence having most of the antigenic activity of ACTH, i.e., amino acids 25-39, is not present in cosyntropin. (drugbank.ca)
  • With an ACTH (Synthacin or cosyntropin) stimulation test? (insulin-pumpers.org)
  • A cosyntropin stimulation test (also known as ACTH or Synacthen test) is required to establish the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency. (news-medical.net)
Cortrosyn2

  • Adrenal insufficiency should be diagnosed using the cosyntropin (Cortrosyn) test. (aafp.org)
Tetracosactide2
  • The form that is made synthetically is tetracosactide, also known as tetracosactrin and cosyntropin. (wikipedia.org)
  • Tetracosactide (also known as Cosyntropin) is a synthetic peptide that is identical to the 24-amino acid segment (sequence: SYSMEHFRWGKPVGKKRRPVKVYP) at the N-terminal of adrenocorticotropic hormone. (drugbank.ca)
Injection3
  • Cosyntropin for injection is a sterile lyophilized powder in vials containing 0.25 mg of Cosyntropin and 10 mg of mannitol. (drugs.com)
  • Cosyntropin for injection is intended for use as a diagnostic agent in the screening of patients presumed to have adrenocortical insufficiency. (drugs.com)
  • Patients selected for further study as the result of a subnormal Cosyntropin test should be given a 3 or 4 day course of treatment with repository corticotropin injection and then retested. (drugs.com)
Intravenous3
  • Each subject recruited in the study will undergo low dose cosyntropin stimulation test via intravenous short 2.5 cm plastic tube. (clinicaltrials.gov)
  • Serum cortisol concentrations during intravenous low dose cosyntropin stimulation through short tube. (clinicaltrials.gov)
  • of these, 149 underwent adrenal vein sampling before and after stimulation with cosyntropin (250 µg intravenous bolus, n= 53, 73% with an aldosterone-producing adenoma) or with metoclopramide (10 mg intravenous bolus, n= 96, 65% aldosterone-producing adenoma), and 32 with an aldosterone-producing adenoma were investigated for the relative gene expression of dopamine, melanocortin 2, and 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) 4 receptor with microarrays. (nih.gov)
Test9
  • When presumptive adrenal insufficiency is diagnosed by a subnormal Cosyntropin test, further studies are indicated to determine if it is primary or secondary. (drugs.com)
  • Previous study showed that afternoon cosyntropin testing was associated with a sevenfold increased likelihood of failing the 1μg test. (clinicaltrials.gov)
  • Moreover, it was previously shown that afternoon cosyntropin testing was associated with a sevenfold increased likelihood of failing the 1μg test. (clinicaltrials.gov)
  • 20 healthy subjects will undergo low dose cosyntropin stimulation test. (clinicaltrials.gov)
  • In healthy individuals, the cortisol level should increase above 18-20 μg/dl within 60 minutes on a 250 mcg cosyntropin stimulation test. (wikipedia.org)
  • The cosyntropin test is recommended for diagnosing adrenal insufficiency, which must be present to diagnose this syndrome. (aafp.org)
  • Note that this test differs from the cosyntropin stimulation test. (dummies.com)
  • 2018. The short cosyntropin test revisited: new normal reference range using LC-MS/MS. Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. (uib.no)
  • Cosyntropin test was done at the time of the shock onset. (asahq.org)
Cortisol response2
  • In earlier studies investigators claimed that subnormal cortisol response using plastic tubes might result from cosyntropin adherence to the tube and loss of the delivered dosage. (clinicaltrials.gov)
  • Canines with gallbladder mucocele development confirmed an exaggerated cortisol response to adrenal excitement with cosyntropin. (cancerrealitycheck.com)
Aldosterone4
  • Cosyntropin and metoclopramide can affect the subtyping of primary aldosteronism when used with adrenal vein sampling by exerting hormone- and side-specific effects on cortisol and aldosterone secretion. (nih.gov)
  • Cosyntropin decreased relative aldosterone secretion index on the aldosterone-producing adenoma side but not contralaterally. (nih.gov)
  • Cosyntropin, while facilitating ascertainment of selectivity, lessens the lateralization, likely because of a blunted melanocortin 2 expression in aldosterone-producing adenoma. (nih.gov)
  • Cosyntropin combines with a specific receptor in the adrenal cell plasma membrane and, in patients with normal adrenocortical function, stimulates the initial reaction involved in the synthesis of adrenal steroids (including cortisol, cortisone, weak androgenic substances, and a limited quantity of aldosterone) from cholesterol by increasing the quantity of the substrate within the mitochondria. (drugbank.ca)
