2001 paper Several neuroendocrine studies have suggested hypoactivation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in chronic fatigue syndrome. One possible determinant of this neuroendocrine abnormality, as well as the primary symptom of fatigue, is reduced hypothalamic secretion of...

Salivary cortisol in long COVID: a marker of broader stress system and circadian rhythm dysregulation INTRODUCTION Long COVID (LC) has been associated with hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction, although findings from blood cortisol measurements remain inconsistent. We...

Abstract Background Many patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) are hypovolemic with plasma volume deficits of 10–30 %. Some also have low levels of aldosterone and diminished aldosterone-renin ratios despite elevations in angiotensin II, pointing to potential adrenal...

Small adrenal glands in chronic fatigue syndrome: a preliminary computer tomography study Scott LV, Teh J, Reznek R, Martin A, Sohaib A, Dinan TG. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10451910/ Abstract No inclusive or satisfactory biomedical explanation for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has as...

Abstract A 42-year-old man who had suffered from severe fatigue for 5 years was diagnosed as having chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia. Endocrinological workup using combined anterior pituitary function tests showed that the patient had adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH)...

Abstract Context Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a severe chronic illness which reduces the quality of life. A potential role of neuroendocrine autoimmune dysfunction has been hypothesized. Objective To investigate the occurrence of anti-pituitary (APA) and...
