  • Title: ACTH regulates blood pressure in man.
    Author: Whitworth JA, McLachlan-Troup N, Scoggins BA.
    Journal: Med Hypotheses; 1987 Jul; 23(3):237-43. PubMed ID: 3039320.
    Abstract:
    In normal and hypertensive subjects, many stimuli which increase ACTH secretion also increase blood pressure and conversely, many drugs which decrease ACTH secretion also decrease blood pressure. We postulate that the hypothalamopituitary adrenal axis plays a role in blood pressure regulation in normal and hypertensive man.
