[Proceedings: Role of endogenous and exogenous ACTH on aldosterone secretion (author's transl)]. 1975

A Cenac, and J Menard, and P Corvol, and A London

The role of ACTH in the control of aldosterone secretion has been investigated in volunteers under a normal sodium diet. Endogenous ACTH suppression by dexamethasone (DXM) does not alter the plasma aldosterone (PA) response to 20 mg furosemide since identical PA increases are observed in control subjects and in subjects with DXM suppressed endogenous ACTH. The sodium depletion induced by furosemide during continuous ACTH infusion increases plasma renin activity but does not change PA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.

D000324 Adrenocorticotropic Hormone An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).

D000450 Aldosterone A hormone secreted by the ADRENAL CORTEX that regulates electrolyte and water balance by increasing the renal retention of sodium and the excretion of potassium. Aldosterone, (+-)-Isomer,Aldosterone, (11 beta,17 alpha)-Isomer
