Zusammenfassung:Whereas 12 (52.17%) cases had levels > 500 nmol/L, all controls had lower levels. [...] to the best of our knowledge, ours is the only study where serum cortisol levels were tabulated for each and every case.Morning cortisol levels were estimated since cortisol levels follow a relatively predictable circadian rhythm with an early morning peak after awakening, a rapid decrease over the next few hours, followed by a more gradual decline over the course of the day to very low levels by bedtime.
