[QUOTE="ajax31, post: 221597, member: 39208"] What are the purported effects of TRT on cortisol? It suppresses or stimulates the adrenals? As far as I know, the ACTH Stimulation test done at 8 am is the only valid way to assess adrenal function. Randomly checking blood cortisol at any time of the day outside of 8 in the morning or saliva tests are useless. Most doctors are woefully ignorant about adrenal function and will only diagnose Addison’s Disease, which is a life threatening failure of the adrenals with very low to no cortisol. In fact, I was snapped at and insulted by a senior ER doctor after the 8th time in less than 2 months I brought my father into the emergency department for weakness, fatigue and dehydration and had the temerity to ask about adrenal function.
