From: Adrenocortical suppression and recovery after continuous hypnotic infusion: etomidate versus its soft analogue cyclopropyl-methoxycarbonyl metomidate

Figure 3

Adrenocorticotropic hormone-stimulated serum corticosterone concentrations during 120-minute infusions. Serum corticosterone concentrations in the cyclopropyl-methoxycarbonyl etomidate (CPMM) and etomidate groups were 100 ± 64 ng/mL and 33 ± 32 ng/mL, respectively, versus 615 ± 265 ng/mL in the control group. *P < 0.001. Rats in the control group received neither CPMM nor etomidate during the hypnotic infusion period. Six rats were used in each group. NS, not significant.
