Abstract
The brief (60-min) infusion of a small amount (1.25 μg) of ACTH into 7 normal subjects on an unrestricted sodium intake resulted in a vigorous plasma aldosterone response in each case. This finding suggests that physiologic fluctuations in ACTH may significantly alter aldosterone secretion in normal man.Keywords
