To assess the effects of age on both the pituitary ACTH response to corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and the secretory responses of cortisol (F) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to endogenous rises in ACTH, we measured evening basal and ovine CRH (oCRH; 1 mu/kg)-stimulated plasma concentrations of ACTH,F, and DHEA in 49 healthy men, aged 21-86 yr. By analysis of variance, we found no change with age in either the basal concentration of ACTH or the magnitude of the peak ACTH response to oCRH. Older men had higher basal F levels (P less than 0.05), while basal plasma levels of CBG and ratios of F to CBG did not vary significantly with age (P greater than 0.1). We also found no significant increase with age in the magnitude of the peak F response to oCRH (P greater than 0.2), although peak F responses occurred significantly earlier (P less than 0.03) in the older men. Basal plasma levels of DHEA decreased significantly with age (P less than 0.001), as did the magnitude of peak DHEA responses to endogenous ACTH rises (P less than 0.01). There was no alteration in the timing of the peak DHEA response with age (P greater than 0.7). We conclude that while ACTH and F responses to evening injections of oCRH are well maintained in healthy aging men, that of DHEA is discordantly decreased. The present findings are compatible with the hypotheses that there is a diminished sensitivity of ACTH secretion to negative feedback regulation by glucocorticoids in older men, and there is an ACTH-independent age-related diminution in adrenal androgen secretion.
