French term
la surrénale est donc peu ou pas stimulable
French to English
Medical
Medical (general)
The entire sentence:
Pendant cette période, la surrénale est donc peu ou pas stimulable ; dans certains cas, ou le taux initial était modérément élevé, le fonctionnement était cependant maximal ; la réponse est-elle dépendante de l’état antérieur ?
I was wondering about using "the adrenal has low or no stimulability" but not sure how that sounds.
thanks

: Yes, I agree with Michael's point; I don't like talking about 'ability' for a (relatively!) inanimate object, but there doesn't seem to be a great deal of alternative here.

Thank you Tony.

Michael Barnett
: Close. I would say that it's ability to be stimulated is weak or null. Possibly its sensitivity is ok, but it is already at maximum output. (To Tony - like a transister which is already at maximum output.)

: Surely that is ambiguous? It could mean that it is not receiving stimulation, while this seems to be about its sensitivity (or not) to being stimulated? / Exactly what I said.

I don't see it as ambiguous, but that's just me/see: http://dictionnaire.reverso.net/francais-definition/stimulab...

Michael Barnett
: I agree with Tony. In fact the context states that the adrenal is being artificially stimulated and the darn thing won't respond further.

Is that clearer?
Réponse de la cortico-surrénale a la β 1-24 corticotrophine
La réponse cortico-surrénale a la sur-stimulation par la Synacthene a été étudiée au cours des 10 jours qui suivent l’agression traumatique.
A – Stimulation de la cortico-surrénale les 48 premières heures
I'm now wondering if I could use "stimulability of the adrenal gland is limited/minimal or non-existant" based on your suggestion. thanks for your help!

what does "le taux initial" refer to?
Not enough context posted really.
