Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a 41-residue ovine hypothalamic peptide that stimulates secretion of corticotropin and beta-endorphin
TL;DR: A peptide with high potency and intrinsic activity for stimulating the secretion of corticotropin-like and β-endorphinlike immunoactivities by cultured anterior pituitary cells has been purified in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypothalamic Polypeptide That Inhibits the Secretion of Immunoreactive Pituitary Growth Hormone
Paul Brazeau,Wylie Vale,Roger Burgus,Nicholas Ling,Madalyn Butcher,Jean Rivier,Roger Guillemin +6 more
TL;DR: A peptide has been isolated from ovine hypothalamus which, at 1 x 10-9M, inhibits secretion in vitro of immunoreactive rat or human growth hormones and is similarly active in vivo in rats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of a novel neuropeptide encoded by the calcitonin gene via tissue-specific RNA processing
Michael G. Rosenfeld,Jean-Jacques Mermod,Susan G. Amara,Larry W. Swanson,Paul E. Sawchenko,Jean Rivier,Wylie Vale,Ronald M. Evans +7 more
TL;DR: The approach described here permits the application of recombinant DNA technology to analyses of complex neurobiological systems in the absence of prior structural or biological information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organization of Ovine Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Immunoreactive Cells and Fibers in the Rat Brain: An Immunohistochemical Study
TL;DR: The results suggest that the PVH plays a critical role in the modulation of ACTH and beta-endorphin release from the pituitary, and that CRF-containing pathways in the brain are involved in the mediation of autonomic responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated concentrations of CSF corticotropin-releasing factor-like immunoreactivity in depressed patients
Charles B. Nemeroff,Erik Widerlöv,Garth Bissette,Helena Walleus,Ingvar Karlsson,Kurt Eklund,Clinton D. Kilts,Peter T. Loosen,Wylie Vale +8 more
TL;DR: Findings are concordant with the hypothesis that CRF hypersecretion is, at least in part, responsible for the hyperactivity of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis characteristic of major depression.
