The objective of this study was to determine whether measurements of human CRH in the inferior petrosal sinuses could distinguish patients with Cushing's syndrome from those with pseudo-Cushing states or normal physiology. Twenty-five patients with Cushing's disease, 17 patients with the syndrome of ectopic ACTH, 7 patients with Cushing's syndrome of adrenal origin, 6 patients with pseudo-Cushing states, and 11 volunteers believed to have normal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axes were studied. Basal plasma human CRH and ACTH were measured at two time points in the petrosal sinuses and in a peripheral vein. Most subjects were studied after the administration of intravenous diazepam or midazolam and fentanyl, but because of the known inhibitory effects of such sedation on CRH secretion, 2 normal volunteers and 3 patients with pseudo-Cushing states were studied without sedation. Human CRH levels were near or below the detection limit of the assay in all subjects. Although the normal volunteers and patients with pseudo-Cushing states who were studied without sedation had significantly greater inferior petrosal sinus ACTH levels than those who received sedation, there were no differences in measured human CRH levels for any of the groups. We conclude that inferior petrosal sinus human CRH levels are not easily measured in the inferior petrosal sinuses and cannot be used to determine whether individual patients may have hypersecretion of CRH causing their ACTH secretion.
