[Determination of free and protein bound cortisol, transcortin binding capacity and adrenocorticotropic hormone in the plasma of patients with hypertension]. 1976

N Kolebinov, and F Elazarova, and I Stoilova, and S Milanov, and P Popov

The total non-conjugated plasma cortisol in 60 patients with hypertension disease (HD)is 17.5 mkg/ml. The free non-conjugated cortisol represents 8.45 per cent of the total - 1,5 mkg%, considerably (p less than 0.0001) higher than that in healthy subjects. Protein conjugated cortisol is 16.0 mkg%. The bounding capacity of transcortin the plasma of hypertonics is considerably decreased (p less than 0.0001) - 15.8 mkg (in healthy - 18.5 mkg) per 100 ml. ACTH level in the plasma of patients with HD is 32.0 pg/ml, considerably higher than that in healthy (25.8 pg/ml, p less than 0.0001). The elevation of the biologically active cortisol fraction in plasma of hypertonics is a function both of hypothalamo-hypopheseal stimulation and of transcortin level. That latent hypercortisolism is admitted to be manifestation of hypothalamo - hypopheseal superstimulation by increased ACTH secretion, in case of confirmed cerebro-hypothalamic disturbances in patients with hypertension disease.

D006854 Hydrocortisone The main glucocorticoid secreted by the ADRENAL CORTEX. Its synthetic counterpart is used, either as an injection or topically, in the treatment of inflammation, allergy, collagen diseases, asthma, adrenocortical deficiency, shock, and some neoplastic conditions.

D000324 Adrenocorticotropic Hormone An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D000368 Aged A person 65 years of age or older. For a person older than 79 years, AGED, 80 AND OVER is available. Elderly
