Great question! Yes. DHEA should be high in any condition that increases ACTH, as it induces the zona reticularis of the adrenal cortex to work. But please research this further.
i very appreciate it...for your quick reply....can you please make video about bone cancers...bone disease and their correlated bone anatomy abnormal...
Second question; you said the (scLung cancer' ectopic ACTH)---> cause weight loss...dt cancer itself...then how come the Cushing Disease...is also a cancer of Pituitary gland...---> but wgt gain...???? please help...
Pituitary adenoma that causes Cushing disease is a benign tumor, it wouldn’t cause the cachexia and typical constitutional symptoms that occur with cancer (unlike Small cell cancer)

sorry to ask...so ...for the Cushion Disease....the pituitary tumor secreting Pro-OpioMelanoCortin....or is it secreting ACTH...????
Hi, in order for ACTH to be secreted, the POMC precursor has to be secreted first and then it splits to give MSH and ACTH
