What is Nichols 1965 about?

The document examines how administering small doses of glucocorticoids like dexamethasone at different times of day can have different effects on adrenal function and cortisol production. Administering 0.5 mg of dexamethasone at midnight nearly completely suppressed cortisol production for 24 hours, while the same dose given at 8 AM or 4 PM only caused temporary suppression. This diurnal variation may be due to changes in how long the drug suppresses ACTH release.
