Abstract
Cosyntropin (ACTH .alpha.1-24) infusion caused significantly higher cortisol concentrations, with earlier peak responses, in patients with endogenous depression than in normal subjects. There was no relationship between the cortisol levels after administration of dexamethasone and cosyntropin.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
