title: Adrenocorticotropin Secretion Inhibited by Implantation of Hydrocortisone in the Hypothalamus.
abstract: Small quantities of crystalline hydrocortisone acetate, when implanted stereotaxically into the hypothalamus of rats, resulted in inhibition of compensatory adrenal hypertrophy and in adrenal atrophy. Similar implants of hydrocortisone in the pituitary gland, and of cholesterol in the hypothalamus, had no noticeable effect on the adrenals.
