Abstract : Results. The women with hirsutism were divided into four groups based on their individual responses to ACTH stimulation: patients with a possible 3β-hydroxy-5-steroid dehydrogenase deficiency, those with a possible 21-hydroxylase deficiency, those with a possible 11 β-hydroxylase deficiency, and those with no apparent defect in steroidogenesis. The results in 19 patients (61 percent) suggested subtle defects in adrenal steroidogenesis. There was no significant correlation between the basal plasma DHEA sulfate levels and the hormonal response to ACTH, nor were the basal levels of hormones predictive of the levels after ACTH stimulation. Eleven patients had significantly elevated basal levels of plasma DHEA sulfate; only 5 of these 11 had responses to ACTH suggestive of compromised steroidogenesis. Thirteen patients who had responses suggestive of defective steroidogenesis had DHEA sulfate levels within the normal range
