Salivary free cortisol (SC) is not affected by CBG alterations, and reflects the free serum cortisol.\n\nIn the current study, investigators will assess serum and SC responses during low-dose cosyntropin stimulation test in healthy volunteers, mitotane-induced hypoadrenal patients on steroid replacement therapy and in patients who suffer from hypoadrenlism caused from other etiology. Investigators will compare results between groups and try to demonstrate the superiority of SC in assessing adrenal function in mitotane treated patients.', 'detailedDescription': '80-90% of circulating cortisol is bound to cortisol binding globulin (CBG) or transcortin, whereas only 3-10% is in the free state. Salivary free cortisol (SC) is an index of plasma free cortisol. In previous studies it was shown that in low-dose cosyntropin stimulation test, SC increases significantly in normal but not in hypoadrenal patients. It was suggested that dynamic assessment of the SC response to ACTH may be particularly helpful whenever the measurement of serum cortisol is complicated by increased or decreased CBG levels.\n\nAdrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with a heterogeneous presentation and a variable but generally poor prognosis. Mitotane is the main drug for ACC treatment and it plays a role both in adjuvant treatment after complete resection and in recurrent, inoperable and/or metastatic ACC. Mitotane blocks adrenocortical steroid synthesis and also exerts a specific cytotoxic effect on adrenocortical cells. Mitotane induces adrenal insufficiency, requiring hydrocortisone replacement therapy. In mitotane treated patients, serum cortisol cannot be used to diagnose hypoadrenalism, since mitotane increases CBG levels, artificially raising total cortisol. SC is not affected by CBG alterations, and reflects the free serum cortisol and may be more accurate in diagnosing hypoadrenalism in mitotane treated patients.\n\nIn the current study, investigators will assess serum and SC responses during low-dose cosyntropin stimulation test in healthy volunteers, mitotane-induced hypoadrenal patients on steroid replacement therapy and in patients who suffer from hypoadrenlism caused from any other etiology.
