The effects of cholera toxin on the adrenal weight in hypophysectomized rats

Abstract:
The effects of cholera on adrenal weight in hypophysectomized rats were investigated, in an attempt to demonstrate an ACTH-like, adrenal trophic effect of the toxin. The results suggested that the toxin probably exerts is ACTH-like action on the adrenal via adenylate cyclase. Cholera toxin was also shown to have a thermolytic action, similar to that of ACTH, probably due to stimulation of adrenal glucocorticoid secretion.
