Abstract
Taken together the data provide strong evidence that when CBG is inactivated or congenitally absent then more than 25% of the total cortisol appears in the free fraction with the remainder associated with albumin. The proportion of free cortisol measured in plasma thus reflects a simple measure of functional corticosteroid-binding globulin.
