Interrelationships in the Control of ACTH and TSH Secretion

Abstract

The possibility of an inverse relationship between ACTH and TSH secretion was suggested by the inhibition of TSH secretion observed concurrently with enhanced release of ACTH as a result of non-specific stress.

Supported by grants (MT-1205 and 1555) from the Medical Research Council of Canada.
