Hypothalamic Involvement in the Pituitary
There is now general agreement that the central nervous system, or, more particularly, the hypothalamus, is capable of stimulating the anterior pituitary gland to secrete adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) whenever the individual is exposed to a stressing agent. This ACTH, by its effect on the adrenal cortical secretion, brings about the adaptation of the body (general adaptation syndrome). On...
متن کاملAnaesthesia in Adreno-cortical Hypereunction
PATIENTS WITH adreno-cortmal hyperfunctaon-are not frequently presented to anaesthetists. The proper anaesthetac management for adrenalectomy m these cases reqmres a basic understanchng of the physlopathology of the synch'omes caused by hyperfunetlon of the adrenal cortex. The adrenal cortex secretes three types of sterold hormones, file glucocorticolds, and the mmeralo-corticolds and hormones ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Potassium Deficiency upon Adreno- Cortical Secretion
The potassium-deficient rat exhibits several features in common with the untreated adrenalectomized rat, among which are subnormal growth. lowered blood pressure (1-3), diminished blood pressure responsiveness to pressor substances (4), and decreased tolerance to trauma. It therefore was considered important to determine whether the depressor response induced by potassium depletion might in fac...
متن کاملPsychosocial stress affects the involvement of prostaglandins and nitric oxide in the lipopolysaccharide-induced hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal response.
The role of prostaglandins and nitric oxide (NO), generated after peripheral lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration, in the adaptation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis under stressful circumstances remains to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of chronic repetitive restraint or social crowding stress on the involvement of nitric oxide and prostagla...
متن کاملThe Role of the Endocannabinoids in Suppression of the Hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal Axis Activity by Doxepin
Objective(s) The mechanism(s) by which antidepressants regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis remain elusive. The endocannabinoid system (eCBs) which exhibits antidepressant potential, appears to regulate the HPA axis activity. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the role of the eCBs in the action of doxepin including its effect on the HPA axis. Materials and Methods Male Wist...
