Mechanism of Action of the Thyroid Hormone on the Heart
SUMMARY The foliowing cardiac effects may be attributed to thyroxin: 1-Thyroxin augments all anaerobic processes in the body includ::ng the heart, and decreases the glycogen content of the heart ( 1, 2, 5, 27). The resistance of the heart to anoxia is increased in hyperthyroidism ( 25). 2- Thyroxin influences the cardiac weight and prevents cardiac atrophy (3, 8, 10, 11, 19, 20, 21, 30...
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 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 کاملMultiple Sclerosis, Relapses, and the Mechanism of Action of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
Relapses in multiple sclerosis (MS) are disruptive and frequently disabling for patients, and their treatment is often a challenge to clinicians. Despite progress in the understanding of the pathophysiology of MS and development of new treatments for long-term management of MS, options for treating relapses have not changed substantially over the past few decades. Corticosteroids, a component o...
