The secretory rates of CRF, ACTH, and cortisol are high in the early morning but low in the late evening. The plasma cortisol level ranges between a high of about 20 mg/dl an hour before arising in the morning and a low of about 5 mg/dl around midnight.

It is suggested that cortisol levels above normal inhibit salivary levels of immunoglobin A (IgA), which is the first line of defense against potentially pathogenic viruses. The resulting upper respiratory infection has been reported following marathon races and in athletes undergoing high intensity training.

Dx - assess cortisol excess, determine if pathologic, and ACTH-dependence: Cortisol excess - see if 24 hr urine cortisol > 100. Pathologic excess - low-dose dexamethasone should suppress cortisol… won’t if diseased. ACTH dependence - is ACTH normal/high (ACTH-dependent), or low (ACTH-independent)

The “dexamethasone” suppression testing is also a key test in the evaluation of possible Cushing’s; recall that in healthy people, high blood levels of cortisol “turn off” or “turn down” pituitary secretion of ACTH by the normal negative feedback mechanism; dexamethasone is a cortisol-like hormone and is given to patients in this ...

A person will fail an AST only if the zona fasciculata is severely damaged or atrophied (e.g. from severe ACTH deficiency). The conventional, high-dose AST is performed with 250 mcg; a supermaximal dose. It can stimulate the adrenal cortex to produce a high-normal serum cortisol level in …

As mentioned above, in primary adrenal insufficiency, blood cortisol is low so this triggers the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to ultimately increase ACTH secretion (to attempt to “whip” the adrenal to put out more cortisol to raise the blood level to normal); thus, in primary adrenal insufficiency, blood cortisol is low and ACTH is high;
