Cortisol resistance to suppression by 0.5 mg of dexamethasone given at 11 p.m. was studied in 30 normal subjects, 17 to 78 years of age. Serum cortisol concentrations were determined by radioimmunoassay. A strong positive correlation was found between age and cortisol concentrations 9 hours after dexamethasone administration. The data suggest that aging, per se, might contribute to the increased cortisol resistance to suppression by dexamethasone reported in depression and dementia.
