Abstract
In 32 subjects the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) response to metyrapone correlated 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.Keywords
