Influence of corticotrophin on urinary 17-ketosteroid excretion in adrenalectomized females.
Urinary excretion of 17-ketosteroids was measured during dexamethasone substitution followed by ACTH (Synacthen Depot, 1 mg daily) in 10 non-virilized adrenalectomized women.  No significant changes could be demonstrated indicating ovarian androgenic dependence of ACTH in non-virilized females.
