“As oestrone levels were correlated to excretion of catecholamines and cardiac enzyme levels in plasma and as circulating levels of oestrone are influenced by ACTH , the hyperoestronaemia may reflect stress-induced increased adrenocortical activity.”
“The concentration of oestrone was significantly higher (P<0.05) in Group B patients before, and 2 days after, ACTH , while in Group A patients higher concentrations (P<0.02) were found only after 2 days.”
“ ACTH application resulted in a striking increase in plasma estrone levels in both patients with hepatic cirrhosis and in normal subjects (61.8 +/- 27.5 vs. 27.3 +/- 7.8 pg/ml).”
