Abbreviation: NA, normal adrenal. Medium was collected under basal conditions and after ACTH (10 nmol/L) stimulation. Ratios were calculated by dividing the means of steroid concentrations from three biological replicates for each condition.

a

TART cells from a patient with 21OHD/NA cells. Patient serum is from the same patient before TART excision surgery.

b

Under these conditions, we estimate a total steroid production rate of approximately 100 ng/10 000 cells/24 h.
