Other adrenal disorders are relatively uncommon in the elderly. For example, both ACTH and cortisol synthesis remain constant throughout life. Thus, in general, blood levels are not altered during aging (W13). [Pg.46]

Adrenal disorders Glucocorticoids are essential to preserve life in patients with chronic adrenal cortical insufficiency (Addison s disea.se) and are necessary in acute adrenal insufficiency associated with life-threatening shock, infection, or trauma. Glucocorticoids are also used in certain types of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, in which synthesis of abnormal forms of corticosteroids are stimulated by ACTO. In these conditions, administration of a potent synthetic glucocorticoid suppresses ACTH secretion sufficiendy to reduce the synthesis of the abnormal steroids. [Pg.345]

Ten male subjects, free of pituitary or adrenal disorders and not receiving analgesic or sedative drugs, were employed Each subject, at 8,30 A M, received i v 5 U of synthetic lysine-8-vasopressin (Sandoz) in 5 oil of nozmial saline Venous blood was drawn before and at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after vasopressin administration Subsequently each subject was treated for three days with 0,5 mg of dexamethasone (9alphar-fluoro-11beta,17)21-... [Pg.271]
