THE EFFECT OF DIAZEPAM ON PITUITARY FUNCTION IN MAN

C. W. H. HAVARD, V. F. SALDANHA, R. BIRD and R. GARDNER

The integrity of pituitary—adrenal function and growth hormone production was determined in 15 patients before and after treatment with diazepam (30 mg daily). There was no evidence of impairment; nor was the urinary excretion of catecholamines significantly altered. The reproducibility of the plasma corticosteroid response to insulin-induced hypoglycaemia was separately assessed and both the degree of fall in blood sugar and the rise in plasma corticosteroid level were found to be similar.
