This interdependency was evaluated by the assessment of plasma cortisol, salivary (ST) and plasma total testosterone (TT), testosterone not bound to sex-hormone-binding globulin (n-SHBGT), and free testosterone (FT) in normal and in hyperandrogenemic women during combined dexamethasone/synthetic ...
