1 | Here we investigate the influence of an ACTH receptor promoter polymorphism affecting ACTH receptor gene transcription on ACTH-dependent dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) secretion. | Dehydroepiandrosterone | proopiomelanocortin | Homo sapiens |
2 | Here we investigate the influence of an ACTH receptor promoter polymorphism affecting ACTH receptor gene transcription on ACTH-dependent dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) secretion. | Dehydroepiandrosterone | proopiomelanocortin | Homo sapiens |
3 | RESULTS: In the 6-h ACTH stimulation test, CTC/CTC carriers showed a significantly higher DHEA response than CCC/CCC carriers (area under the curve: 19 367 +/- 2919 vs 11 098 +/- 1241 nmol/l per min; P < 0.04, Mann-Whitney U-test). | Dehydroepiandrosterone | proopiomelanocortin | Homo sapiens |
4 | Thus, we might have identified one of the genetic factors responsible for variation in ACTH-dependent DHEA secretion. | Dehydroepiandrosterone | proopiomelanocortin | Homo sapiens |
