Effect of Novel Melanocortin Type 2 Receptor (MC2R) Antagonists on the Corticosterone Response to ACTH in the Neonatal Rat Adrenal Gland in vivo and in vitro.

Effect of Novel Melanocortin Type 2 Receptor (MC2R) Antagonists on the Corticosterone Response to ACTH in the Neonatal Rat Adrenal Gland in vivo and in vitro.

Stress-induced increases in neonatal corticosterone demonstrate a unique shift from ACTH-independence to ACTH-dependence between post-natal day two (PD2) and eight (PD8) in newborn rats. This shift could be due to binding of a bioactive, non-immunoreactive, plasma ligand to the adrenocortical MC2R (...
