title: Adrenocorticotrophic hormone and cyclic adenosine monophosphate effect on mouse adrenal cortical cell membrane potential.
abstract: Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) both caused a rapid and transient depolarization of the resulting membrane potential of superfused rat adrenal cortical cells. The membrane depolarization to both secretagogues were very similar. The membrane potential changes occurred as early as 0.1 min and were dose dependent in both onset and extent of depolarization.
