Glucose Ingestion Selectively Amplifies ACTH and Cortisol Secretory-Burst Mass and Enhances Their Joint Synchrony in Healthy Men
In conclusion, glucose ingestion in the morning selectively augments burst-like ACTH and cortisol secretion and markedly synchronizes ACTH and cortisol secretory patterns.
Subjects (n = 58) undertook two 10-min sampling sessions after overnight fasting, beginning at 0800 h. At 0830 h, glucose (75 g) or the same volume of water (10 ounces) was administered orally. Blood sampling continued thereafter for 6 more hours (until 1430 h).
