This study will compare the sensitivity of the 1 mcg ACTH stimulation test to gold standard insulin tolerance testing in determining hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal recovery in patients status post surgery for Cushing's syndrome secondary to pituitary or adrenal adenomas. These two tests will also be compared in patients with suspected hypopituitarism, to determine the ACTH test's sensitivity in screening for dysfunction. If the ACTH test has sufficient sensitivity, it could replace the insulin test in clinical practice.

本研究将比较1 mcg ACTH刺激试验与金标准胰岛素耐量试验在确定继发于垂体或肾上腺腺瘤的库欣综合征患者术后状态下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺恢复方面的敏感性。 这两个测试也将在疑似垂体功能减退症患者进行比较，以确定ACTH测试在功能障碍筛查中的敏感性。 如果ACTH试验具有足够的敏感性，它可以在临床实践中取代胰岛素试验。
