The results showed practically normal plasma cortisol levels in the De-ticiency-Cold Group, but the leukocyte GCR contents were markedly lowered. In the Deficiency-Heatgroup, plasma cortisol levels were remarkably elevated and the leukocyte GCR contents also tended to behigher than normal. The quantity of plasma cortisol concentrations multiplied by leukocyte GCR contentscan be taken as a sensitive index for the differentiation of Cold and Heat natures in Deficiency Syndromes.展开更多
