[Adrenocorticotropic and somatotropic functions of the pituitary gland in juvenile thyrotoxicosis]. 1979

D E Iankelevich, and M V Zhurova, and V M Nikolaeva, and G M Kharag, and N A Langova

The adrenocorticotropic (ACT) activity of the hypophysis (according to the blood 11-HCS level) was studied in 27 female patients suffering from thyrotoxicosis, aged from 16 to 24 years (19 with moderately severe and 8 with severe form) and in 7 healthy girls. The ST activity of the hypophysis was ascertained in 11 patients by the blood STH content before and after the insulin hypoglycemia. The metopyron test was also carried out in 6 patients. The ACT function of the hypophysis proved to be increased, and the ST function was normal in the patients with thyrotoxicosis at rest and on fasting stomach. The value of the corticotropic and somatotropic response to hypoglycemia was similar in sick and healthy persons. In the patients with a pronounced elevation of the 11-HCS and STH content under the effect of hypoglycemia the metopyron response was determined by the initial adrenal cortex function.

D015065 17-Hydroxycorticosteroids A group of hydroxycorticosteroids bearing a hydroxy group at the 17-position. Urinary excretion of these compounds is used as an index of adrenal function. They are used systemically in the free alcohol form, but with esterification of the hydroxy groups, topical effectiveness is increased. 17 Hydroxycorticosteroids
