Oral hydrocortisone administration in children with classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency leads to more synchronous joint GH and cortisol secretion.
In humans, GH and cortisol are secreted in a pulsatile fashion and a mutual bidirectional interaction between the GH/IGF-I axis and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis has been established. Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is characterized by a defect in the synthesis of glucocorticoids...
