  • Method for detection of exogenous or ACTH stimulated glucocorticoids in domestic animals
    Patent number: 4716030
    Abstract: A method for the detection of exogenously administered, or ACTH stimulated, glucocorticoids in domestic animals is provided by first injecting glucagon into a suspected glucocorticoid abused animal and then monitoring the animal's blood glucose levels against an appropriate control over a two hour period. The test measures hepatic carbohydrate metabolism; consequently it is capable of detecting glucocorticoid abuse regardless of the chemical nature of the carrier or base in which the glucocorticoid or ACTH was delivered.
