PITUITARY ADRENOCORTICOTROPHIC HORMONE LIBERATION BY SEROTONIN

Abstract
Results were obtained to support the view that the presence of intact pituitary gland must be prerequisite to the adrenal ascorbic acid depletion after administration of serotonin into rats. Possibility of the direct stimulative action of serotonin on adrenal cortex was not supported, though not disapproved of, under the conditions of the present experiment.
