Popis: The factors involved in the mediation of ACTH release in the cat in response to hypotension have been investigated. Reduction of mean arterial pressure from control levels of over 100 mm Hg to a hypotensive level of 35 mm Hg by bleeding from the femoral artery resulted in a mean increment in plasma ACTH concentration of 4.5 ± 0.82 (5) mU ACTH/100 ml. After adrenalectomy of 2 hr duration, the increment evoked by hypotension was increased to 26.7 ± 5.59 (3) mU/100 ml plasma. Hypophysectomy of 20 min duration eliminated the change in plasma ACTH concentration evoked by hypotension. Occlusion of the common carotid arteries evoked an increment in plasma ACTH concentration. Prior vagosympathectomy increased the increment induced by carotid occlusion and decreased the increment in response to hypotension. Carotid-aortic denervation resulted in a 50% decrease in the ACTH increment evoked by hypotension. The residual hypotensively elicited ACTH increment persisted after C1 cord section in carotid-aortic denervated...
