2017, Pediatric Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :In higher doses, the growth was suppressed for more than 24 hours.48 Significant suppression of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis was seen after 7 days of a dexamethasone treatment regimen.49 Hydrocortisone may have fewer or no adverse effects on neurosensory development in preterm infants and it has been the focus of recent clinical research activity.

2007, American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyCitation Excerpt :This finding is in agreement with the only other published data from a randomized trial.30 In addition, the basal cortisol levels reported in our study were similar to those found in other preterm populations.13,23,33,34 Second, the response to metyrapone was similar in both the single- and repeated- exposure groups, suggesting no difference in the ability of the pituitary and hypothalamus to respond to challenge.
