The Effect of Plasma Cortisol Concentration on the Pituitary Adrenal Response Elicited by Electrical Stimulation of the Infundibular Area of the Awake Unrestrained Cat
Abstract
A non stressful environment was established for awake unrestrained cats to test the excitability of infundibular area sites mediating ACTH release. Each subject was chronically implanted with bilateral electrodes and catheterized in the superior vena cava. Plasma corticosterone and cortisol concentration were determined by fluorometry after chromatographic separation. Samples were taken during both sham and electrical stimulation while the …
