[Factors stimulating and/or inhibiting growth processes of the adrenal cortex. I. The role of the anterior pituitary and hypothalamic hormones, insulin, sex steroids and certain neuropeptides].
This paper summarizes the recent knowledge on the factors stimulating or inhibiting the adrenocortical growth. In the part I of the present review the following stimulatory growth factors are discussed: ACTH--in vivo, N-POMC derivatives, dibutyryl cAMP--in vivo, GH, Prl, vasopressin, oxytocin, insulin, insulin-like growth factor I (somatomedin C), estradiol and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP). Among the factors, which inhibit the adrenocortical growth, the following ones are considered: ACTH--in vitro, cAMP--in vitro, adrenal steroids and testicular androgens. The remaining hormones and factors affecting the adrenocortical growth are described in the part II of the review.
