the principal findings were ( 1 ) low basal plasma levels of all measured c19 steroids and their sulfates , which were unchanged or only minimally increased after stimulation with human chorionic gonadotropin or acth , ( 2 ) no urinary metabolites of c19 11-deoxy steroids , and decreased amounts of c19 11-oxosteroids , ( 3 ) normal basal plasma cortisol levels and normal urinary excretion of cortisol metabolites , ( 4 ) high plasma corticosterone and deoxycorticosterone levels and elevated urinary excretion of their metabolites , ( 5 ) high plasma progesterone and pregnenolone levels and increased urinary excretion of pregnanediol and pregnenediol , ( 6 ) high plasma 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone and 21-deoxycortisol levels and increased urinary excretion of pregnanetriol , 17 alpha-hydroxypregnanolone , and pregnenetriolone , ( 7 ) high plasma and urinary levels of 5-pregnene-3 beta,20 alpha-diol sulfate , ( 8 ) low plasma levels of 21-hydroxy-pregnenolone and 5-pregnene-3 beta,17 alpha , 20 alpha-triol sulfate , ( 9 ) high plasma acth levels , and ( 10 ) suppression of the high plasma steroid levels by dexamethasone .
