Effects of Etomidate on the Steroidogenesis of Rat Immature Leydig Cells. [PDF]
Etomidate is a rapid hypnotic intravenous anesthetic agent. The major side effect of etomidate is the reduced plasma concentration of corticosteroids, leading to the abnormal reaction of adrenals.

Behavioral and steroidogenic pharmacology of phenyl ring substituted etomidate analogs in rats
Background Cushing’s syndrome is an endocrine disorder characterized by the overproduction of adrenocortical steroids. Steroidogenesis enzyme inhibitors are the mainstays of pharmacological treatment. Unfortunately, they produce significant side effects.

Nonhypnotic low-dose etomidate for rapid correction of hypercortisolaemia in cushing's syndrome [PDF]
We determined the adrenostatic potential of low-dose nonhypnotic etomidate in six patients with Cushing's syndrome (ectopic Cushing's syndrome,n=2; Cushing's disease,n=3; bilateral adrenal adenoma,n=1). Etomidate was given as a continuous infusion for 32

Histamine release after injection of benzodiazepines and of etomidate. A problem associated with the solvent propylene glycol (= Libération d'histamine après injection de benzodiazépines et d'étomidate. Rôle du solvant propylène-glycol) [PDF]
Many drugs, especially when given in rapid sequence can cause histamine release. Ten healthy volunteers were premedicated with diazepam 10 mg.70 kg-1 i.v. and lormetazepam 1 mg.70 kg-1 i.v., respectively, 30 min prior to etomidate 0.15 mg.kg-1 i.v.

The general anaesthetic etomidate inhibits the excitability of mouse thalamocortical relay neurons by modulating multiple modes of GABAA receptor-mediated inhibition [PDF]
Modulation of thalamocortical (TC) relay neuron function has been implicated in the sedative and hypnotic effects of general anaesthetics. Inhibition of TC neurons is mediated predominantly by a combination of phasic and tonic inhibition, together with a
