ACTH and cortisol diurnal variations and responses to two types of stress (insulin-induced hypoglycemia and isolation-restraint stress) and to an acute injection of CRF were determined in intact as well as in actively antiarginine vasopressin (AVP)-immunized rams. All immunized sheep developed antibodies to AVP, displayed diabetes insipidus, and looked healthy in spite of their lower gain weight. Basal secretion and diurnal variations of ACTH and cortisol were unaltered in the group of anti-AVP-immunized animals. In contrast, ACTH and cortisol responses to both types of stress and CRF injection were significantly reduced compared to those in controls. These results suggest that endogenous AVP plays a physiological role in the corticotropic response to stress. However, endogenous AVP does not appear to affect basal secretion and diurnal variations of ACTH and cortisol.

D007003 Hypoglycemia A syndrome of abnormally low BLOOD GLUCOSE level. Clinical hypoglycemia has diverse etiologies. Severe hypoglycemia eventually lead to glucose deprivation of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM resulting in HUNGER; SWEATING; PARESTHESIA; impaired mental function; SEIZURES; COMA; and even DEATH.

D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D003346 Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone A peptide of about 41 amino acids that stimulates the release of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE. CRH is synthesized by neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, CRH stimulates the release of ACTH from the PITUITARY GLAND. CRH can also be synthesized in other tissues, such as PLACENTA; ADRENAL MEDULLA; and TESTIS.
