  • Title: 30 Min ACTH stimulation test as predictor of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical function. Comparison with metyrapone test.
    Author: Blichert-Toft M, Lindholm J, Kehlet H.
    Journal: Acta Med Scand; 1980; 207(1-2):115-7. PubMed ID: 6245561.
    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.
