Plasma concentration of adrenocorticotropic hormone in traffic policemen.
The aim of this study is to evaluate whether traffic policemen exposed to urban pollutants and possible psycho-social stressors could be at risk of changes on plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone [ACTH(P)] levels compared to a control group. Traffic policemen were matched by sex, age, length of service and drinking habit (<50 g of wine or beer per day) with a control group after excluding princip...
متن کاملThe effect of cortisone and adrenocorticotropic hormone on the dehydroascorbic acid of human plasma.
It is well known that ascorbic acid in aqueous solution is easily and reversibly oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid, and it is believed that above pH 4 the latter can undergo irreversible change, possibly to diketogulonic acid, as a preliminary to further oxidation. The possibility of the existence of dehydroascorbic acid or diketogulonic acid in blood plasma, however, has been generally ignored ...
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 کاملAdrenocorticotropic hormone production in breast cancer.
Presence of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) was investigated in tissues from 150 cases of primary breast cancer. ACTH peptides were detected in 16.7% cases and ACTH expression was higher in post-menopausal cancers. A significant association was noticed between the presence of ACTH and the positive estrogen receptor (ER) status of tumors. The study indicated a probable role of these ectopic A...
