Popis: Many recent reports indicate that in several models of shock there is a massive activation of endogenous opioid systems and that endorphins play a key role in the pathophysiology of circulatory shock [1,2]. In recent years, on the basis of growing experimental support, it has been suggested that some neuropeptides (ACTH-MSH peptides, TRH etc.) may play the role of endogenous ‘physiological’ antagonists of opioids [3]. We report here that ACTH-(1 241 has a therapeutic effect in hemorrhagic shock in man.
