Abstract
Anterior pituitary hormones released during stress have multiple direct and indirect effects in the periphery including mobilization of energy reserves (1) via gluconeogenesis and lipolysis (2, 3), effects on the cardiovascular (4) and immune systems (5, 6), and effects on electrolyte balance via stimulation of adrenal mineralocorticoid release. It seems logical that the necessity of orchestrating these potent effectors to adapt to specific challenges would require sophisticated modes of signalling between the pituitary cells and numerous circulating factors. We have recently described a stressful social interaction that elicits increases in plasma levels of the anterior pituitary peptide hormones derived from proopiomelanocortin (POMC): viz., adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), β-endorphin (β-EP) and β-Mipotrophic hormone (β-LPH) (7). Increases were also seen in plasma levels of the adrenal cortical hormone, Cortisol (CS), as well as prolactin (PRL), an anterior pituitary hormone not derived from POMC.
