OBJECTIVE: Overnight high-dose dexamethasone suppression test (ON-HDDST) is a simple test to localize the source of ACTH in patients with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome (CS). However, previous studies have reported its varying accuracy. We studied...
Cortisol is involved in the initiation of parturition and we hypothesized that increased maternal cortisol release advances the onset of foaling. Transport is a stressor for horses and induces an increase in cortisol release. To determine stress effe...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between insulin resistance and thyroid pathology in obese patients, and compare the results between insulin-resistant and noninsulin-resistant patients.
