Larry,

I believe the best database for serum components such as cortisol is 
Hyclone Labs.  What I have says cortisol concentrations are about 0.6 
ug/dL.  Their company newletter(Art to Science) has listings of serum 
component concentrations.  One I have is March 1986 Vol 5 Num 1.

Good Luck,
Joseph
