following a bout of intense physical exercise in healthy humans ( 29 , 30 , 31 ). This increase in sclerostin is accompanied by activation of the pituitary–adrenal axis, raising the possibility that acute increases in cortisol due to pituitary

androgen and cortisol oversecretion is highly suggestive of adrenocortical carcinoma (12) . In very few cases, androgen-secreting adrenal lesions have been identified as bilateral macronodular hyperplasia (13, 14) , adenoma (15) , primary pigmented

impairment was relieved after a pituitary implant of 198 Au ( 6 ). Primary cortisol deficiency was reported concomitant with high TSH and low FT3. After cortisone administration, TSH returned to normal. However, serum cortisol and TSH showed no significant

naturally produced glucocorticoid hormone cortisol. Cortisol also acts via the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in many tissues including the brain ( 6 ), but synthetic glucocorticoids have a clear preference for GR over MR ( 7 ). Both receptor types are
