Co-localisation of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase and immunoreactive adrenocorticotrophic hormone in ovine foetal pituitary.
Previous studies have shown that both an intact hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) are involved in the timing of parturition in sheep. PGE(2) is known to be synthesised by the placenta but has also been found in the foetal brain and pituitary. We propose that the enzymes necessary for production of PGE(2) are found in the ovine foetal pituitary and may be able t...
متن کاملPeptide analogue studies of the hypothalamic neuropeptide Y receptor mediating pituitary adrenocorticotrophic hormone release.
Hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY) is thought to be important in the regulation of feeding and also in the release of Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). Intracerebroventricular administration of NPY to male rats significantly increased plasma ACTH 10 min after injection and stimulated 2-h food intake. A series of analogues of NPY that have a greatly reduced affinity for the Y1 [human pancreati...
متن کاملMechanism of Control of Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone *
Experiments indicating that epinephrine activates the adrenal cortex only when the pituitary gland is intacte"" have led to the suggestion that epinephrine may exert an action directly upon the secretory cells of the anterior hypophysis." At the same time, a number of other drugs, notably histamine,' have also been shown to bring about the release of ACTH, and this finding has tended to relegat...
متن کاملRecurrent pancreatoblastoma with inappropriate adrenocorticotrophic hormone secretion.
We describe a boy with recurrent pancreatoblastoma who developed Cushing's syndrome due to inappropriate adrenocorticotrophic hormone secretion.
متن کاملAdrenocorticotrophic and melanocyte-stimulating peptides in the human pituitary.
The adrenocorticotrophic and melanocyte-stimulating peptides of the human pituitary were investigated by means of radioimmunoassay, bioassay and physicochemical procedures. Substantial amounts of adrenocorticotrophin and a peptide resembling beta-lipotrophin were identified in pituitary extracts, but alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, beta-melanocyte-stimulating hormone and corticotrophin-li...
