Ultrastructural evidence for endogenous substance-P-like immunoreactivity in the rat pituitary gland.

abstract：:Visual average evoked responses (AERs) to 4 intensities of light were studied in 5 patients with adrenal cortical insufficiency. Patients were tested off all medications, on ACTH while off all medications, and during replacement with carbohydrate-active steroids. Off treatment, when steroid levels were low, AERs were ...
