Abstract

From the recently described lipolytically active pituitary gland fraction P IV we isolated three other fractions with different lipid mobilizing effects. These fractions were checked for their corticotropic activity as ACTH belongs to the most active lipolytic hormones. The applied bioassay for ACTH was based on the determination of the corticosterone increase in the adrenal vein blood of hypophysectomized rats. All of the isolated fractions showed corticotropic activity.
