Vasopressinergic control of pituitary adrenocorticotropin secretion comes of age
FA Antoni - Frontiers in neuroendocrinology, 1993 - Elsevier
This article summarizes the importance of arginine vasopressin (AVP) in the control of
adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) secretion, with special reference to interactions with
corticotropin releasing factor (CRF-41), glucocorticoids, and the purported corticotropin
release inhibiting peptide atriopeptin. AVP that participates in the regulation of ACTH
release at the pituitary level is produced in two main groups of neurons in the hypothalamus:
parvicellular cells in the paraventricular nucleus, which also produce CRF-41, and …
