<h4>Context</h4>Cortisol is released in ultradian pulses. The biological relevance of the resulting fluctuating cortisol concentration has not been explored.<h4>Objective</h4>Determination of the biological consequences of ultradian cortisol pulsatility.<h4>Design</h4>A novel flow through cell culture system was developed to deliver ultradian pulsed or continuous cortisol to cells. The effects of cortisol dynamics on cell proliferation and survival, and on gene expression were determined. In add ...[more]
