The purpose of this study was to assess the normal relationship between plasma ACTH and cortisol during insulin induced hypoglycaemia. Twenty-six healthy persons were studied. Peak plasma concentration and the amounts of ACTH and cortisol secreted during hypoglycaemia were compared. There was no significant correlation between the ACTH and cortisol values. The ACTH responses varied significantly more than those of cortisol. This probably signifies an over-capacity of ACTH secretion in comparison to the secretory capacity of the adrenal cortex.
