Atrial natriuretic peptide enhances cortisol secretion from guinea-pig adrenal gland: evidence for an indirect paracrine mechanism probably involving the local release of medullary catecholamines.

abstract：:Although gender influences T-cell, macrophage and organ functions following trauma-hemorrhage and resuscitation (T-H), it remains unknown whether it also influences polymorphonuclear cell (PMN) activity under such conditions. To study this, proestrus female and male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent trauma-hemorrhage foll...
