The Influence of Adrenocorticotropic and Growth Hormones on Antibody Formation
The influence of pituitary adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and growth hormone (somatotropin, STH), singly and in combination, has been studied in normal, young adult rats, with respect to antibody formation against Fraction IA of Pasteurella pestis. When ACTH was administered during the period of immunization, in a daily dose just sufficient to prevent body weight increase relative to the no...
متن کاملStudies on the mechanism of action of the adrenocorticotropic hormone.
It has been demonstrated that adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates isolated, perfused adrenal glands (1) and adrenocortical tissue slices (2, 3) to release increased quantities of corticosteroid hormones. These findings are in accord with the well established fact that ACTH in tivo causes the adrenal cortex to secrete increased quantities of the adrenal steroid hormones. The present wo...
متن کاملThe effect of growth and adrenocorticotropic hormones on the amino acid levels in the plasma.
It has generally been assumed that changes in the level of the free amino acids in the plasma may be caused by factors influencing protein metabolism. It would therefore be expected that the anterior hypophyseal growth and adrenocorticotropic hormones would influence the concentration of free amino acid in the blood stream, for it is well established that these two hormones have definite effect...
متن کاملEffects of growth and adrenocorticotropic hormones on the metabolism of albumin in hypophysectomized rats.
A number of investigators have reported that, as a result of hypophysectomy in both the dog (1) and the rat (2-6), there is a decrease in the albumin content of the blood. Inanition has a similar but less marked effect on the albumin in rats (3, 4). However, these data give no insight into the dynamic aspects of albumin metabolism, and the object of the present experiments has been to gain info...
متن کاملStructural Studies on Polypeptide Hormones
The structures of three polypeptide hormones (glucagon, a 25-residue analogue of adrenocorticotropin, and parathyroid hormone) which contain enough residues to permit organization have been evaluated in aqueous solution by fluorescence and circular dichroism. The effects of pH, temperature, and guanidine on both tyrosyl and tryptophanyl emission have been measured. None of the fluorescence para...
