1 To assess adrenal function with respect to the presence or absence of steroid therapy, we investigated differences in the blood levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) in relation to steroid (prednisolone) administration in 123 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

2 Levels of ACTH and DHEAS were significantly lower in the steroid-treated group than in the non-treated group (ACTH: 11.79 pg/ml vs 27.92 pg/ml) (DHEAS: 418.12 ng/ml vs 883.91 ng/ml) (P<0.0001). Steroids sulfotransferase family 2A member 1 Homo sapiens
