| Abstract | Corticotropin (ACTH) secretion by the anterior pituitary is stimulated by catecholamines in vivo and in vitro. The nature of the response in vivo is controversial but appears to be mediated by beta-adrenergic receptors, whereas the response is dependent on alpha-adrenergic receptors in cultured anterior pituitary cells. In the present studies, by using a superfusion technique, we demonstrate that catecholamine stimulation of ACTH release from rat anterior pituitaries changes with time from a predominantly beta-adrenergic-mediated event to a predominantly alpha-adrenergic-mediated event. From 0 to 2 hr after initiating the superfusion, release of ACTH from anterior pituitary glands is stimulated up to 2.4-fold by the beta-adrenergic agonist l-isoproterenol. However, the ACTH secretory response to the alpha-adrenergic agonist l-phenylephrine is less than or equal to 5% of that to l-isoproterenol during the same time period. Beginning 2 hr after the start of the superfusion, the responsiveness to the beta-adrenergic agonist declines, and the response to the alpha-adrenergic agonist increases until, 10 hr after removal, greater than 95% of the catecholamine-inducible ACTH release is mediated by an alpha-adrenergic pathway. The addition of interleukin 1 alone to the medium from the beginning of the superfusion does not modify basal ACTH secretion rates and does not affect the acquisition of the response to phenylephrine. However, the presence of interleukin 1 does allow the maintenance of the full ACTH secretory response to isoproterenol. This effect of interleukin 1 is reversed by an interleukin 1 antagonist. These observations suggest an additional way in which immune regulators might interact with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
