Environmental control of suppression of the pituitary-adrenal system☆
Physiology & Behavior, 1976Abstract Rats having access to food and water for 1 hr daily show elevated plasma corticosterone levels prior to feeding and drinking. The activity of the pituitary-adrenal system was studied in animals receiving food and water, food or water alone or an empty drinking bottle.

Pituitary-adrenal axis function in systemic inflammatory response syndrome
Endocrine, 1995This study characterizes the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function in patients with sepsis syndrome now known as systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). One hundred and thirteen patients with SIRS had their pituitary-adrenal axis tested with the use of a 250 µg IV ACTH stimulation test.

The Limbic System and the Pituitary—Adrenal Axis
1970Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the influence of the limbic system upon the pituitary-adrenal axis. The limbic system appears to be involved in activating or inhibiting basic drives as well as their concomitant hormone release. The anterior and medial hypothalamic areas are regarded as integrating centers for the regulation of pituitary ...

The Pituitary—Adrenal System and the Developing Brain
1970Publisher Summary This chapter discusses evidence for the hypothesis that adrenal hormones may have a similar organizing effect on the developing central nervous system both with regard to neuroendocrine regulation of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) synthesis and release and with certain aspects of the behavior of adult organisms. An initial study

Dominance relations and the pituitary-adrenal system in rats
Animal Behaviour, 1972Abstract It has been shown that plasma corticosterone level in isolated male albino rats was considerably lower than in grouped rats. Plasma corticosterone level in grouped animals increased during wakefulness and diminished in the sleepy state. Dominance relations were studied by observing the ‘spontaneous’ behaviour of rats kept in groups of ten ...

Pituitary adrenal system hormones and behaviour.
Acta endocrinologica. Supplementum, 1977Neuropeptides related to ACTH, MSH and LPH are involved in acquisition and maintenance of conditioned behaviour. These peptides affect the behaviour by a temporary selective increase in the state of arousal in limbic midbrain structures, thereby increasing the motivational influence of environmental stimuli.
