Adrenocortical hyperresponsivity to adrenocorticotropic hormone: a mechanism favoring the normal production of cortisol in 21-hydroxylase-deficient nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia Raquel Huerta, M.D., Didier Dewailly, M.D., Christine Decanter, M.D., Eric S Knochenhauer, M.D., Larry R Boots, M.D., Ricardo Azziz, M.D. Fertility and Sterility Volume 74, Issue 2, Pages 329-334 (August 2000) DOI: 10.1016/S0015-0282(00)00631-2
Figure 1 Basal (Steroid0) and ACTH-(1-24)-stimulated (Steroid60) levels of 11-deoxycortisol (S) and cortisol (F) in 24 patients with 21-hydroxylase deficient nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia (NCAH) and 37 controls. Depicted are the median values, and brackets represent the range. A statistically significant difference in the basal and stimulated levels between NCAH and controls is observed for S, but not F.
