Feedback inhibition of adrenocorticotropic hormone by physiological increases in plasma corticosteroids in conscious dogs.

چکیده
We have tested the effect of physiological increases in plasma corticosteroids in conscious dogs on the levels of basal and hypoglycemia-stimulated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) 2 h later. Increases in plasma corticosteroids, produced by infusion of alpha-1-24 ACTH or corticosteroids for 40 min, suppressed basal and stimulated ACTH levels. The magnitude of inhibition produced by an increase in plasma corticosteroids induced by the infusion of ACTH was equivalent to the inhibition produced by the same increase in plasma corticosteroids induced by corticosteroid infusion. The infusions did not affect basal plasma glucose concentrations or the decrease in plasma glucose concentrations after administration of 0.1 U insulin/kg. Basal ACTH concentration was less sensitive than hypoglycemia-stimulated ACTH concentration to corticosteroid-induced suppression. Basal and stimulated secretion were significantly inhibited in all dogs after approximately half-maximal increases in plasma corticosteroids; maximum inhibition occurred after maximal increases in plasma corticosteroids. Therefore, physiological increments in plasma corticosteroids, similar to those produced by acute stress, are effective suppressors of subsequent stress-induced ACTH secretion.

Control of canine ACTH by corticosteroids: an integral feedback effect of steroids.
These experiments were designed to test whether the pattern of change in plasma corticosteroid or the total corticosteroid dose is important in determining the degree of inhibition of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) responses to stress by corticosteroid intermediate-delayed feedback. Five conscious dogs were studied. The ACTH response to induced hypoglycemia was measured after no prior corti...

The present studies were designed to examine the effect of angiotensin II on baroreflex control of adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion and heart rate in conscious dogs. Baroreflex function was assessed by examining the relationship between blood pressure and plasma corticosteroid concentration (used as an index of adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion) and between blood pressure and pulse int...

To elucidate the role of proteinase inhibitors in the regulation of protein breakdown in vivo, we measured the effect of leupeptin on the rate of appearance of leucine in the plasma compartment in overnight-fasted conscious dogs. Two groups of dogs were studied. The control group (I) received saline infusion, and the experimental group (II) was rendered hypercatabolic with daily administration ...
