Serum ACTH levels in patients with polycystic ovarian disease.
Serum adrenocorticotrophic hormone levels were assayed in 8 patients with polycystic ovaries and a similar number of control subjects. Serum ACTH concentrations were normal in 6 patients and marginally elevated in 1. Investigations of markedly elevated readings in another patient showed this to be due to an interfering factor rather than the ACTH molecule itself.
