CORTICOSTEROIDS IN HUMAN PAROTID FLUID FOLLOWING ORAL HYDROCORTISONE DOSAGE

Abstract

A single 20-minute parotid fluid sample was collected prior to, and six 20-minute samples were collected subsequent to the oral administration of 50-milligrams of hydrocortisone to 30 healthy young adult males. Blood was drawn before dosage and 2 hours thereafter. The following conclusions were drawn: The serum free 17OHCS increase after dosage was highly significant. Hydrocortisone did not exert a significant effect on parotid fluid flow rate. A highly significant increase in parotid fluid free 17-OHCS levels was found in the 40- to 60-minute sample. A significant response was elicited in all subjects within 2 hours.
