In normal and hypertensive subjects, many stimuli which increase ACTH secretion also increase blood pressure and conversely, many drugs which decrease ACTH secretion also decrease blood pressure. We postulate that the hypothalamopituitary adrenal axis plays a role in blood pressure regulation in normal and hypertensive man.
在正常人和高血压患者中，许多增加促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）分泌的刺激也会升高血压，反之，许多减少ACTH分泌的药物也会降低血压。我们推测，下丘脑 - 垂体 - 肾上腺轴在正常人和高血压患者的血压调节中起作用。
