Cortisol level and PPID
|
Hello, please help. In the week 4 is written ,,cortisol levels are often elevated in PPID horses, but in week 5 is written ,,PPID is characterized by increased production of cortisol because of increased levels of ACTH. Where is the true? I don ´t understand it.
Thank you -- Marie Volsicka Mid Europe 2021

Hi Marie. So, I think you are asking if ACTH causes increases in cortisol levels and the answer is yes. "cortisol levels are often elevated in PPID horses" is a general overarching statement. the next sentence " PPID is characterized by increased production of cortisol because of increased levels of ACTH." So both statements are true...one is more specific than the other. I think the second sentence could be restated as " Because of increased levels of ACTH, Cortisol can be elevated in PPID horses. .....Where did you find this information and what is week 4 and week 5 referring to? Hope this helps...

In first sentence should be cortisol levels are often NOT elevated. I ´m sorry. So horse with PPID can have elevated cortisol, but they haven ´t to have elevated cortisol. Am I right?

Hi Marie
You may hear from Dr. Kellon from on the August subgroup, regardless of the size. It has just closed yesterday. That said, you may also want to wait a bit. The November course is getting ready to open shortly and you can go through the whole course again. -- Nancy C in NH ECIR Moderator 2003 ECIR Group Inc.
