Plasma corticosterone level and corticotropin (ACTH) content of the anterior pituitary (AP) were measured after various cuts around the medial basal hypothalamus (MBH). Seven to eight days after placing a complete cut around MBH there was no change in plasma corticosterone or ACTH content of AP; the slight rise in ACTH concentration was offset by the decreased weight of AP. Twenty eight days after a frontal cut there was no change in plasma corticosterone and in bioactive or immunoreactive ACTH concentration of AP.
在内侧基底下丘脑（MBH）周围进行各种切割后，测量了血浆皮质酮水平和垂体前叶（AP）的促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）含量。在MBH周围进行完全切割7至8天后，血浆皮质酮或AP的ACTH含量没有变化；ACTH浓度的轻微升高被AP重量的减轻所抵消。额叶切割28天后，血浆皮质酮以及AP的生物活性或免疫反应性ACTH浓度均无变化。
