The possible relationship between cortisol inhibition induced by deflazacort, a new glucocorticoid, and impairment of prolactin (PRL) and thyrotropin (TSH) secretion in healthy volunteers has been investigated. In 8 healthy subjects deflazacort pretreatment partly inhibited cortisol secretion but did not affect basal or TRH-stimulated secretion of PRL and TSH in comparison to placebo. After dexamethasone, there was the anticipated complete suppression of cortisol secretion, no change in PRL secretion, either in basal conditions or after TRH, and significant inhibition of the TSH response to TRH. No significant change in GH, aldosterone or renin secretion was observed after deflazacort or dexamethasone.

D008297 Male Males
D011282 Pregnenediones Unsaturated pregnane derivatives containing two keto groups on side chains or ring structures. Diketopregnenes,Dioxopregnenes
D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.

D013972 Thyrotropin A glycoprotein hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Thyrotropin stimulates THYROID GLAND by increasing the iodide transport, synthesis and release of thyroid hormones (THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE). Thyrotropin consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH; LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.
