Phosphotyrosine protein phosphatases activation by ACTH in rat adrenal gland.

abstract：:Adrenocortical steroidogenesis is regulated in addition to a central regulation via the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis by intra-adrenal mechanisms involving the adrenal medulla. We could previously show that adrenocortical steroidogenesis is stimulated by co-culturing bovine adrenocortical cells with medullary ch...

abstract：:Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is released from the atria and acts to regulate blood volume and pressure. The release of ANP appears to be stimulated by atrial distension, initiated by stretch on the cardiocytes.
