How do treatments for Cushing's syndrome work?

Answer
A
They decrease excessive cortisol secretion.
B
They improve inefficient hormone secretion.
C
They reduce insulin resistance.
D
They block ADH receptors.

Explanation

Cushing's syndrome is caused by prolonged exposure to too much cortisol. Treatments aim to lower cortisol levels, for example by treating the source of excess hormone or reducing cortisol production, so choice A is correct. Blocking ADH receptors is not the usual treatment for Cushing's syndrome.
