Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To further evaluate the impact of corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) promoter polymorphisms on the stress response in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients an insulin hypoglycaemia test (IHT) was performed studying the dynamics of CRH production. METHODS: Polymorphisms of the human CRH promoter were determined in controls and cortisol naive patients with early RA. Serum glucose and plasma CRH were...
