Adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation during adrenal vein sampling.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Stimulation During Adrenal Vein Sampling To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Seccia et al,1 which investigated the effect of adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation during adrenal vein sampling on the identification of lateralized aldosterone excess in primary aldosteronism. The authors concluded that a high or an intermediate dose of adrenocorticotro...
متن کاملAdrenocorticotropic hormone independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia.
1 of 2 DESCRIPTION Figure 1 is of a CT scan showing bilateral macronodular adrenal glands in a patient with adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (AIMAH). AIMAH was fi rst described in 1964 1 . AIMAH is often discovered as a fortuitous radiological fi nding, as in our patient, or during investigation for endogenous hypercortisolism. AIMAH represents less than ...
متن کاملAdrenocorticotropic hormone, but not trilostane, causes severe adrenal hemorrhage, vacuolization, and apoptosis in rats.
Adrenal necrosis has been reported as a complication of trilostane application in dogs with hyperadrenocorticism. One suspicion was that necrosis results from the increase of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) during trilostane therapy. The aim of the current study was to assess the effects of ACTH and trilostane on adrenal glands of rats. For experiment 1, 36 rats were divided into 6 groups. G...
متن کاملAdrenocorticotropic hormone-mediated changes in rat adrenal mitochondrial phospholipids.
We examined the subcellular localization of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)-induced changes in adrenal phospholipids using dexamethasone-treated rats. In adrenal mitochondrial fraction, ACTH significantly enhanced both concentrations and contents of phosphatidylinositol (37%), phosphatidylcholine (22%), and phosphatidylethanolamine (20%). Other mitochondrial phospholipids including cardiolip...
متن کاملThe activation of adrenal phosphorylase by the adrenocorticotropic hormone.
A theory has been proposed to explain, in part, the effects of the adrenocorticotropic hormone on the adrenal cortex (1). This theory is based principally on the fact that phosphorylase activity is rapidly increased in adrenal tissue stimulated by this hormone. The present work was performed to study the mechanism by which ACTHI brings about this increase in phosphorylase activity. The experime...
