A Method for Assessing Week-Long Cortisol Output Using a Continuously Worn Sweat Patch

Methods and Protocols
Although sample matrices are available for assessing cortisol output over hours/days (serum, saliva, or urine) or months (hair or nails), there is no current method for measuring integrated cortisol output over a period of 1 week.

Comparative analysis of salivary cortisol measurements using different assay methods in relation to serum-free cortisol measurement

Practical Laboratory Medicine
Objectives: Salivary cortisol reflects the biologically active form of serum cortisol, offering a noninvasive evaluation method for the diurnal rhythm of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. While liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (

Cortisol Exerts bi-phasic Regulation of Inflammation in Humans

Dose-Response, 2011
Natural and synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) have been used for decades to suppress inflammation. In this paper, we re-examine the role of the endogenous GC, cortisol, as a primary homeostatic regulator of the human inflammatory response to injury.

Comparison of two prepill cortisol concentrations in dogs with hypercortisolism treated with trilostane

BMC Veterinary Research, 2018
Background The ideal method for monitoring trilostane therapy in dogs with hypercortisolism is still open to debate. Recently, determination of the pre-trilostane (prepill) cortisol concentration has been proposed to be more repeatable than either post ...

Redefining the Diagnostic Approach to Adrenal Insufficiency: Re-Assessment of Baseline and Cortisol Increment Cut-Offs with the 1 µg Synacthen Test

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Adrenal insufficiency (AI) is an endocrine disorder characterized by inadequate cortisol production, leading to non-specific symptoms that delay diagnosis. The Low Dose Synacthen Test (LDST) is commonly used to evaluate adrenal

The 40th Minute Cortisol Measurement is the Key Time-Point in the Low-Dose Synacthen Stimulation Test: A Large, Assay-Specific Pediatric Validation Study

JCRPE
Objective: Low-dose Synacthen stimulation test (LDSST) is widely used to assess central adrenal insufficiency (CAI). With the adoption of monoclonal antibody (mAb) cortisol immunoassays, lower basal and peak cortisol concentration thresholds require ...
