Isolated ACTH deficiency associated with transient thyrotoxicosis and hyperprolactinemia.
A 43-year-old woman with isolated ACTH deficiency in association with transient thyrotoxicosis is reported. The initial evaluation revealed that plasma ACTH and cortisol did not respond to corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in the presence of hyperthyroxinemia and hyperprolactinemia. During the replacement therapy with dexamethasone, she developed transient hypothyroxinemia with persistent hyperprolactinemia. Although thyroid open biopsy did not show any evidence of autoimmune thyroiditis or subacute thyroiditis, the data appear to provide other evidence of a possible relationship between acute adrenal insufficiency and transient thyroid dysfunction.

Lack of prolactin involvement in corticosteroid secretion.
In mammals prolactin can modify adrenal steroidogenesis. Its trophic effect on adrenal cells where prolactin receptors have been identified suggest a direct impact upon corticosteroid biosynthesis. In man, this role of prolactin remains controversial. The purpose of our study was to investigate the effects of chronic hyperprolactinemia on basal and stimulated corticosteroid hormone secretion. Seven women with untreated chronic hyperprolactinemia (HPRL) were included in the study. In each of them, a beta 1-24 ACTH test was performed on a normal and low Na+ diet for 4 days. Basal and ACTH-stimulated cortisol, aldosterone, deoxycorticosterone and 17 hydroxyprogesterone secretion were not significantly different in HPRL and NPRL women. These results do not support evidence for any significant role of prolactin upon corticosteroid biosynthesis in man. They also suggest that prolactin is not the pituitary factor which modulates ACTH or low Na+ diet stimulated corticosteroid secretion.
