... of dexamethasone were similar to saline-pretreated controls. These results suggest that LPS impairs the negative feedback of either endogenous or exogenous GC upon the adrenocortical response to stress. This finding may be relevant to the enhanced adrenocortical activity associated with sepsis and major depression...
