We wished to compare peak and incremental rise in plasma cortisol in response to insulin induced hypoglycaemia (IIH) stress test, i.m. glucagon stimulation test (IMGST) and short Synacthen test (SST) in patients with pituitary disease, using a modern radioimmunoassay for cortisol. We compared the three stimulants using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) plots, assuming a cortisol threshold of 500 nmol/l or 580 nmol/l for the IIH stress test which we used as the standard from which to evaluate the SST and the IMGST.
