[Synthetic A.C.T.H. test. (Results obtained on aldosterone and cortisol blood level) (author's transl)].
During the beta 1-24 corticotropin stimulation test, it appears the increase of Aldosterone Blood level is more important (170,91% +/- 35,89 (S. E.)) and more significant (alpha less than 0,001) than for cortisol (+/- 54,47% +/- 9,45 (S. E.) - alpha less than 0,10). The authors suggest aldosterone assays have to be done in order to obtain a better estimation on adrenal response to synthetic A.C.T.H.
