STUDIES ON THE MECHANISM OF ACTION OF THE ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE

Open access
Haynes, Robert C., Berthet, Lucie·1957·Journal of Biological Chemistry

Abstract

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 work was performed in an attempt to learn more about the mechanism by which ACTH effects this stimulation of the adrenal cortex. The first group of experiments indicated that ACTH acts primarily by increasing the rate of corticosteroid synthesis rather than by primarily causing release of the steroid hormones. Further investigation of the mechanism of action of ACTH revealed that the adrenal stimulation is accompanied by an increase of phosphorylase activity in the tissue. Data will be presented showing the relationship between phosphorylase activity and steroidogenesis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
