Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.
EndocrinologySTUDIES ON THE MECHANISM OF STIMULATION OF ACTH SECRETION WITH THE AID OF MORPHINE AS A BLOCKING AGENT<sup>1</sup>
121 Citations1955F. Norman Briggs, Paul L. Munson
The rapidity with which the pituitary can release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in response to various stimuli suggests that the nervous system must play a role in regulatingpituitary function.
EndocrinologyTHE ACTH-RELEASING ACTIVITY OF EXTRACTS OF THE POSTERIOR LOBE OF THE PITUITARY IN VIVO1
93 Citations1957Samuel M. McCann
A great deal of evidence indicates that the release of pituitary adrenocorticotrophin resulting from stress is under neural control, and it appears likely that the hypothalamus constitutes a major pathway for excitation of ACTH release.
EndocrinologyDUAL CONTROL OF ADRENOCORTICOTROPHIN RELEASE<sup>*</sup>
87 Citations1951Claude Fortier
Exposure of rats to intense sound or light was shown to elicit a rapid and intense discharge of ACTH, as evidenced by the depletion of the adrenal ascorbic acid content.
EndocrinologyINCREASE IN THE FORMATION AND SECRETION OF ACTH FOLLOWING ADRENALECTOMY<sup>1</sup>
86 Citations1951Carl Gemzell, Donald C. Van Dyke +2 more
This paper presents a method for the estimation of plasma ACTH after adrenalectomy, which when combined with estimation of pituitary ACTH content and the distribution and removal rate of the hormone, makes it possible to calculate its rate of formation and secretion by the pituitsary.
EndocrinologyBLOOD AND PITUITARY ACTH IN INTACT AND ADRENALECTOMIZED RATS AFTER STRESS<sup>1</sup>
81 Citations1954Katherine L. Sydnor, George Sayers +2 more
The development of a technic for the analysis of blood ACTH has overcome difficulties and more nearly reflects pituitary activity at any instant and it is entirely possible that stress acting in combination with ACTH will produce an alteration in the concentrations of adrenal metabolites of greater magnitude than that produced by ACTH alone.

EndocrinologyEFFECT OF PLASMA FROM HYPOPHYSEAL-PORTAL VESSEL BLOOD ON ADRENAL ASCORBIC ACID1
60 Citations1956John C. Porter, Julia C. Jones
Although results have varied somewhat, destructive lesions in different sites of the hypothalamus have been reported by several investigators to inhibit the release of ACTH by using pituitary transplants in the rat and rabbit.
Experimental Biology and MedicineEffect of Synthetic Vasopressin on Release of Adrenocorticotrophin in Rats with Hypothalamic Lesions.
47 Citations1957Samuel M. McCann, ALLEN FRUIT
The results are interpreted to mean that vasopressin can evoke ACTH release in rats with those hypothalamic lesions which prevent the adrenal response to certain non-specific stimuli and that the ACTH-releasing activity of neurohypophyseal extracts, when tested in vivo, is accounted for by their content of vasoppressin.

It is concluded that variations in cortical hormone concentration in the blood can still alter the release of ACTH in rats with diabetes insipidus though these rats may be less sensitive to such alterations than normal rats.

34 Citations1958George Sayers, E.S. Redgate +1 more
A fairly exhaustive classification of mechanisms regardless of available experimental support is set out, which justifies the popularity of acceptance of the thesis that the portal venous system carries a neurohumor from the median eminence to the adenohypophysis.

It is found that the extraction procedure is probably the major variable and that it is possible to extract more than 1000 mu.

21 Citations1957Shawn Schapiro, Jessie Marmorston +1 more
It is concluded that at least one mechanism whereby high levels of the adrenal cortical hormones inhibit the release of ACTH following stress is by blocking the secretion from a cerebral structure, presumably the hypothalamus, of a pituitary stimulating substance (s).

On the basis of the results reported by McDermott et al. (1950) one of the mechanisms controlling the release of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) from the pituitary is due to an activation of the sympathetic nervous system.

The small saphenous vein on the foot of the rat is far more satisfactory than the more commonly used tail vein for intravenous injection, according to Dr. Everett and Sawyer1.
