The effect of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) on the fetal adrenal cortex in rat was studied in vivo and in vitro. In vivo, an injection of alpha-MSH stimulated the adrenal cortex slightly. Treatment of the adrenal cortex with alpha-MSH in organ culture caused hyperfunctional change in the innermost layer of the cortex, the detection of which was done by electron microscope. This treatment caused at the same time an increase in corticosterone in the culture medium. Furthermore, comparison was made between alpha-MSH and ACTH with respect to their effect on the fetal adrenal cortex.
