In cortisol deficiency, each of the following is deficient EXCEPT: A. Catecholamine induced glycogenolysis, B. Catecholamine induced lipolysis C. Catecholamine induced Vasoconstriction D. Pituitary secretion of ACTH E. the rate at which a decrease in plasma osmolality is corrected
ans is D
Options A,B,C, E are correct, but option D is wrong one.
pls explain why option E is correct.

As far as i know decreased cortisol will inversily affect ADH..so with a decrease in cortisol there is an increase in ADH. Therefore if more water is retained then there will be less solute withmore solution so the osmolality will decrease and therefore a delay in correction would be seen... ANY OTHER OPINIONS

Is there any relation of cortisol with ADH ? I do not know that
I feel this way .... cortisol has some salt and water retention activities ... so decreased cortisol ...... decreased salt and water retention ..... so decreased rate of correction when plasma osmolarity is low .......
