Involvement of neuropeptides in the regulation of growth, structure and function of the adrenal cortex

L K Malendowicz. Histol Histopathol. 1993 Jan.

Abstract

Current data on the influence of neuropeptides on the growth, structure and function of cells comprising the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis were presented and discussed. The action of vasopressin, oxytocin, neurotensin, bombesin, neuropeptide Y, substance P and VIP have been evaluated. The hypothesis has been introduced that in vivo effect of some neuropeptides on the structure and function of the adrenal cortex is mediated by vasopressin.
