Department of Psychiatry, University of Freiburg, Federal Republic of Germany.

A single dose of 80 mg fluoxetine induced a slight increase in cortisol secretion when compared to placebo in an acute endocrine challenge test including assessment of prolactin, growth hormone, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, testosterone. This pretreatment with 80 mg fluoxetine did not change the ACTH release after blockade of the feed-back regulation of peripheral corticosteroids on ACTH secretion by metyrapone. Sleep-EEG revealed reduction of rapid-eye-movement sleep. Nocturnal penile tumescence activity was unaltered.

D006728 Hormones Chemical substances having a specific regulatory effect on the activity of a certain organ or organs. The term was originally applied to substances secreted by various ENDOCRINE GLANDS and transported in the bloodstream to the target organs. It is sometimes extended to include those substances that are not produced by the endocrine glands but that have similar effects.

D006854 Hydrocortisone The main glucocorticoid secreted by the ADRENAL CORTEX. Its synthetic counterpart is used, either as an injection or topically, in the treatment of inflammation, allergy, collagen diseases, asthma, adrenocortical deficiency, shock, and some neoplastic conditions.

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).
