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...
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...
