Effects of carbohydrate-active steroids and ACTH on visually-evoked responses in patients with adrenal cortical insufficiency.

abstract：:The volume of the sexually dimorphic nucleus in the preoptic area (SDN-POA) of the rat brain is severalfold larger in adult male rats than in adult females. This sex difference in brain structure was previously shown to develop under the influence of androgenic and estrogenic hormones during the perinatal period. We t...
