Altered Control of Cortisol Secretion in Adult Men with Low Birth Weight and Cardiovascular Risk Factors

2001-01-01

Abstract excerpt

It has been suggested that increased activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis may link low birth weight with subsequent development of cardiovascular risk factors and disease. Two hundred and five men, aged 66–77 yr, who were born and still live in East Hertfordshire underwent an overnight very low dose (0.25 mg) dexamethasone suppression test followed by a low dose 1-µg ACTH-(1–24) stimulation test. A...
