NEW CUTOFF FOR THE BIOCHEMICAL DIAGNOSIS OF ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY AFTER ACTH STIMULATION USING SPECIFIC CORTISOL ASSAYS
PUBLISHED FEBRUARY 18, 2021, Journal of the Endocrine Society
The normal cortisol response 30 or 60 min after cosyntropin (ACTH[1-24]) is considered ≥18 μg/dL (500 nmol/L). This threshold is based on older serum cortisol assays. Specific monoclonal antibody immunoassays or LC-MS/MS may have lower thresholds for a normal response.

STEM CELL FUNCTION AND PLASTICITY IN THE NORMAL PHYSIOLOGY OF THE ADRENAL CORTEX
PUBLISHED JANUARY 1, 2021, Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, Volume 519, 1 January 2021, 11043
The adrenal cortex functions to produce steroid hormones necessary for life. To maintain its functional capacity throughout life, the adrenal cortex must be continually replenished and rapidly repaired following injury. Moreover, the adrenal responds to endocrine-mediated organismal needs, which are highly dynamic and necessitate a precise steroidogenic response. To meet these diverse needs, the adrenal employs multiple cell populations with stem cell function. Here, we discuss the literature on adrenocortical stem cells using hematopoietic stem cells as a benchmark to examine the functional capacity of particular cell populations, including those located in the capsule and peripheral cortex.

NATURAL HISTORY OF ADRENAL STEROIDOGENESIS IN AUTOIMMUNE ADDISON'S DISEASE FOLLOWING DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
PUBLISHED JULY 2020, Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 105(7):2322–2330, doi:10.1210/clinem/dgaa187
The natural history of adrenal function in autoimmune Addison’s disease once diagnosed and treated has not been systematically studied, but several case reports of recovery from established adrenal failure suggest it may not be uniform.
RESIDUAL CORTICOSTEROID PRODUCTION IN AUTOIMMUNE ADDISON'S DISEASE

Contrary to current dogma, growing evidence suggests that some patients with autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD) produce corticosteroids even years after diagnosis.
