Ophthalmic Research, 2009 From previous clinical and experimental observations with animals it is clear that the exophthalmos producing factor (EPF) is not the only factor which is responsible for endocrine orbitopathy. Therefore, a study of the effect of ACTH, cortisol, adrenaline, testosterone, oestradiol and oestriol on experimental exophthalmos in fish was made. Preliminary
