Effect of prolonged exhausting exercise on the adrenal cortex response to ACTH.
Plasma cortison response of ACTH injection was studied in dogs under control conditions and after a prolonged exercise performed until exhaustion. Exercise induced a marked increase in plasma cortisol concentration but no significant differences were found in the level of plasma cortisol following ACTH injection between the control and post-exercise animals.
