The release of cortisol (determined by RIA) from isolated slices of adrenal glands of guinea pigs is stimulated by ACTH, by beta-endorphin, and by morphine in a concentration-dependent way; naloxone gives a small stimulation which is not related to its concentration. Naloxone inhibits the effect of ACTH (1.11 X 10(-11) M) in a competitive manner with an IC50 of about 3.10(-9) M. Also morphine and beta-endorphin inhibit the effect of ACTH, but not in competitive manner. Naloxone (10(-9)-10(-7) M) gives a concentration-related inhibition of the increase of cortisol release produced by morphine (10(-8) M) and by beta-endorphin (1.44 X 10(-10) M). These data suggest a similarity in the conformation of ACTH, beta-endorphin, morphine and naloxone towards the binding sites of ACTH of the guinea pig adrenal glands.
豚鼠肾上腺分离切片中皮质醇(通过放射免疫分析测定)的释放受到促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)、β-内啡肽和吗啡的浓度依赖性刺激;纳洛酮产生的微小刺激与其浓度无关。纳洛酮以竞争性方式抑制ACTH(1.11×10⁻¹¹ M)的作用,半数抑制浓度(IC50)约为3.10⁻⁹ M。吗啡和β-内啡肽也抑制ACTH的作用,但并非以竞争性方式。纳洛酮(10⁻⁹ - 10⁻⁷ M)对吗啡(10⁻⁸ M)和β-内啡肽(1.44×10⁻¹⁰ M)所产生的皮质醇释放增加呈现浓度相关的抑制作用。这些数据表明,ACTH、β-内啡肽、吗啡和纳洛酮在豚鼠肾上腺ACTH结合位点的构象上具有相似性。
