Background: Vasopressin, secreted in equimolar amounts with copeptin, is implicated as a stimulus for ACTH secretion during dynamic tests, such as Glucagon Stimulation Test (GST) or Insulin Tolerance Test (ITT). Some individuals with intact ACTH-cortisol axis, demonstrate, however, a lack of further cortisol stimulation during GST. We have assessed whether failure of further ACTH-cortisol increase during GST may be associated with an inadequate vasopressin/copeptin release.</p...
