ABSTRACT

Previous work showed that the stimulation by acetylcholine or pancreozymin of the secretion of digestive enzymes from the pancreas, and the stimulation by acetylcholine or adrenaline of the secretion of amylase and mucin from salivary glands was accompanied by an increased incorporation of P32 into the phospholipides of the tissues (l-4). This suggested that the phospholipides play a role in the secretion of proteins from cells (5). To test whether or not the phospholipides play a role in the secretion of other types of molecules, other secretory glands amenable to stimulation of secretion in vitro were sought. An example of this is the secretion of the polypeptide hormone ACTH,’ which can be stimulated in vitro in the rat adenohypophysis by CRF from the posterior lobe of the pituitary (6, 7). Another example is the formation and release of corticosteroids by the rat adrenal in vitro in response to ACTH (8).
