“The plasma concentrations of corticotropin and deoxycortisol were significantly higher during metyrapone treatment (multivariate analysis of covariance, P<.05), whereas cortisol remained largely unchanged.”

“ Metyrapone markedly increased basal ACTH (294.4 ± 61.6 pg/ml, p < 0.05), reduced basal cortisol (19.6 ± 7.2 µg/l, p < 0.05), while it did not modify GH levels.”
“ MET administration disproportionately increased the ACTH response to NAL, producing a significant increase (P < 0.01) in the slope of the regression relating ACTH responses to CRH and NAL.”

“The adrenal synthesis of cortisol was inhibited by metyrapone which caused a prompt increase in the plasma concentration of ACTH and 11-deoxycortisol.”

“ Metyrapone resulted in a greater increase in ACTH and greater decreases in cortisol and delta spectral power sleep in PTSD subjects compared to controls, and a greater increase in ACTH in women compared to men.”
