The aim of this study is to evaluate whether traffic policemen exposed to urban pollutants and possible psycho-social stressors could be at risk of changes on plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone [ACTH(P)] levels compared to a control group. Traffic policemen were matched by sex, age, length of service and drinking habit (<50 g of wine or beer per day) with a control group after excluding princip...

متن کاملAdrenocorticotropic action of antidiuretic hormone.
By means of direct arterial perfusion of the adrenal glands of the hypophysectomized dog, it has been shown that synthetic lysine, arginine and acetyl arginine vasopressins stimulate the adrenal cortex directly to secrete hydrocortisone. Pressor activity and cortisol-stimulating activity were demonstrated to be independent of each other. Similar polypeptides, such as oxytocin, insulin, glucagon...

متن کاملThe effect of adrenocorticotropic hormone in panhypopituitarism.
A priori one would anticipate that the effects of a hormone would be most apparent when given to an individual lacking that hormone. To be sure, when the hormone acts through another gland, as does adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), one might find the "target" gland unresponsive through atrophy. In panhypopituitarism, one is dealing not with a single deficiency, but with a deficiency of all "t...
