Beta-lipotropin: a new aldosterone-stimulating factor.
Beta-Lipotropin stimulated the production of aldosterone in collagenase-dispersed rat adrenal capsular cells. The maximum response obtained with beta-lipotropin was the same as the response obtained with corticotropin and was greater than that obtained with angiotensin II. These data suggest that beta-lipotropin may play a role in aldosterone regulation.
