Adrenocorticotropin Insensitivity Syndromes

Arginine Vasopressin Potentiates Adrenocorticotropin

A bstract. Arginine vasopressin (AVP) stimulates ACTH release in man and acts synergistically with synthetic ovine corticotropin-releasing factor (oCRF) in vitro. This study was designed to examine in man the combined effects of synthetic AVP (10 U intramuscularly) and oCRF (1 gg/kg intravenously) on ACTH release. Five normal male volunteers participated in five separate experiments: (a) AVP al...

The Destruction of Glucagon, Adrenocorticotropin

Human blood contains an inactive proteolytic enzyme, plasminogen, which may be converted in vitro to its active form, plasmin, either spontaneously or by the addition of various agents (1). A similar activation is believed to occur in vivo after exposure to a variety of noxious circumstances (2-6). Since plasmin catalyzes the hydrolysis of corticotropin A (7), it is possible that circumstances ...

Insensitivity to pain due to Genetic Mutation

Pain is neuroanatomically, psychologically and neurophysiologically complicated and its first function is protecting all alive creature body. This issue is so questionable and interesting that people who don’t feel pain how face this sensation and what problems threaten them. So many researchers by using 73 references, articles from electronical and library references have done a clinical...
