| Abstract: | Plasma cortisol levels and leukocyte glucocorticosteroid receptor (GCR) contents were assayed in 10 patients with Deficiency-Cold Syndrome, 10 patients with Deficiency-Heat Syndrome, and 10 healthy subjects as normal control. The results showed practically normal plasma cortisol levels in the Deficiency-Cold Group, but the leukocyte GCR contents were markedly lowered. In the Deficiency-Heat group, plasma cortisol levels were remarkably elevated and the leukocyte GCR contents also tended to be higher than normal. The quantity of plasma cortisol concentrations multiplied by leukocyte GCR contents can be taken as a sensitive index for the differentiation of Cold and Heat natures in Deficiency Syndromes. |
