Abstract

The concentration of corticotropin and cortisol in the blood was determined 120 patients with Itsenko-Cushing radioimmunologically after insulin hypoglycemia, after administration of insulin and thyroliberin. It was established that healthy persons and patients with Itsenko-Cushing disease showed no differences in the effect of insulin and thyroliberin as compared with insulin hypoglycemia on the state of the pituitary-adrenal system.
