Abstract:
Summary Studies with isolated rat adrenocortical cells have shown that neuropeptide Y (NPY) inhibits both basal and ACTH-stimulated corticosterone secretion. These results suggest the regulatory role of NPY in corticosterone secretion from the adrenal gland, especially during stress.Supported in part by a grant CPBP 06.03.3.16.
