Highlights • Cortisol response to ACTH is affected by sex and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). • Response is increased in men but blunted in women with IBS compared to controls. • Glucocorticoid receptor α (GRα) mRNA is reduced in IBS and negatively correlates with ACTH response. • Low expression of...
