If the increase in plasma cortisol levels at 30 minutes is equivocal, a consideration should be given to repeat cortisol sampling at later time points (e.g. 60 and/or 90 minutes). In a study in normal volunteers, plasma cortisol levels peaked about 2.5 ± 0.5 hours after an intravenous injection of cosyntropin (see Fig. 1).

3. Obtain cortisol levels 20 minutes and 30 minutes after the cosyntropin dose is given. Results: A cortisol level 18.0 g/dL at either 20 or 30 minutes is considered a normal response and the infant does NOT have adrenal suppression. If the highest cortisol level at 20 and 30 minutes is < 18.0 g/dL, the infant MAY be adrenally

increased ACTH levels. In secondary or tertiary adrenal insufficiency, both ACTH and cortisol are expected to be low. Most patients with hypocortisolism have low serum cortisol levels, however, some patients’ cortisol level falls within the reference range due to the stress, which does not exclude the diagnosis.

However, it was found that the Greek youth had low cortisol levels (Faresjo, Theodorsson, Chatziarzeni, Sapouna, Claesson, Koppner & Faresjo, 2013). This suggests that a prolonged exposure to highly stressful situations lead to lowered free cortisol levels as a result of the negative feedback loop of the HPA axis. The level of inhibition

Diagnosis of ACTH-independent Cushing Syndrome The diagnosis of Cushing syndrome was based on the clinical features of hypercortisolism, absence of serum cortisol diurnal rhythm, elevated mid-night sleeping cortisol levels, and incomplete sup-pression of cortisol after an oral 2-mg 48-hour low-dose dexamethasone suppression test (stan-

If the ACTH stimulation test is not available, the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency is based on serum cortisol and ACTH levels, which should be measured at 8 to 9 am to avoid influences of their circadian rhythm. Elevated ACTH (>2-fold the upper limit of the reference range) with low cortisol [

In order to investigate the role of chronic inflammation in the CNS in the activation of the HPA axis in MS, MS lesions in the hypothalamus were quantified and interleukin (IL)-6 levels in the CSF were determined.

there may be increased cortisol levels with increased CRH and ACTH drive. In the prolonged phase of critical illness also, there is elevation of cortisol, but from the non-ACTH pathway. With regard to the gonadal axis, low testosterone levels associated with slightly elevated LH is the usual pattern observed initially.

COLD EXPOSURE AND HORMONAL SECRETION: A REVIEW
ACTH, a pituitary hormone, stimulates the secretion of cortisol by a feed-back mechanism. The effects of short-time cold air exposure on serum cortisol levels have been studied, some of the results being contradictory. Two-hour-exposure to cold air (5 - 15º C) increased the serum cortisol levels (12,13), and if physical
