  • Title: Hypothalamic and pituitary effects of prostaglandins on ACTH secretion.
    Author: Hedge GA.
    Journal: Prostaglandins; 1976 Feb; 11(2):293-301. PubMed ID: 178029.
    Abstract:
    Various prostaglandins (PGs) were tested for their effects on ACTH secretion upon injection into the anterior pituitary, basomedial hypothalamus, basolateral hypothalamus, or a tail vein in anesthetized female rats. In some experiments, the PGs were injected in combination with a CRF preparation. The greatest effect seen was the stimulation of ACTH (and presumably CRF) secretion exerted at the basomedial hypothalamus. At the anterior pituitary, the PGs alone were without effect, but they did decrease the magnitude of the response to subsequent CRF.
