In contrast to the effects of GHRH in young normal human subjects, in which repetitive i.v. administration of GHRH prompts an increase in the amount of slow wave sleep (SWS) and in GH secretion and blunting of cortisol release, both in young and in old patients with depression there is no effect on SWS and cortisol release after GHRH, while GH secretion is stimulated. We assume that HPA activity and SWS are inert to the influence of GHRH during acute depression because of a slight CRH overactivity, whereas GHRH exerts effects on GH secretion.

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).
