Administration of graded doses of delta sleep-inducing peptide (from 10(-8) to 10(-6) M) to perifused frog anterior pituitary cells did not affect the spontaneous release of adrenocorticotropic hormone.
2 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
The possible role of delta sleep-inducing peptide in the control of adrenocorticotropic hormone and corticosteroid release was studied in vitro, using the perifusion system technique.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the distribution of delta sleep-inducing peptide in the brain and pituitary of the frog Rana ridibunda and to determine the possible effect of this nonapeptide on adrenocorticotropic hormone and corticosteroid secretion.
