Adrenocorticotrophin-Releasing Hormone in Peripheral Blood: Increase during Stress

Journal/Book: Reprinted from Science April 15 1966 Vol. 152 No. 3720 pages 379-380. 1966;

Abstract: Abstract. Significant amounts of adrenocorticotrophin-releasing hormone appear in the peripheral blood under conditions of physiological stress. Associated with the appearance of this neurohormone is an increased antidiuretic activity. The neurohormone presumably enters the general circulation by way of the portal vessels of the anterior pituitary gland. ___MH
