Why the study?
Does low-dose ACTH infusion affect aldosterone and renin levels in healthy young men?
Does low-dose ACTH infusion affect aldosterone and renin levels in healthy young men?
Low-dose ACTH infusion transiently stimulates aldosterone secretion, which may be partly mediated by changes in the renin-angiotensin system.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Transient ACTH effects on aldosterone and renin in healthy men warrant no practice change; leaves open mechanistic relevance in endocrine disorders.
Fuchs-Hammoser et al. (1980) studied this question.
