Hormones were also determined 30' after 0.25mg of tetracosactid i.v.DHEA and A increased in 7/11 and 8/11, T in 2/11, DS in none. There vas no relation to the response of F(normal in 4, subnormal in 3, absent in 4)or to the CA levels. Thus high-dose CA treatment suppressed E2 and adrenal steroids, T remained elevated in half of the girls with high CA concentrations. possibly related to its anti-androgen effect.
