Possible Interaction: Pentagastrin and Adrenocorticotropic Hormone

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

The cholecystokinin (CCK-B) agonist pentagastrin stimulates dose-dependent release of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and cortisol in humans, likely via direct pharmacological action at pituitary CCK-B receptors.

Pentagastrin administration led to increases in anxiety, pulse, ACTH , cortisol and physical symptoms of panic, in a dose-related manner.
Anxiety  •  1994  |  View Paper
Pentagastrin induced large (up to 520 % increase over baseline), significant and very rapid, dose-dependent elevations in ACTH and cortisol levels.
Neuropsychopharmacology  •  1999  |  View Paper
Following intracerebroventricular administration of pentagastrin, plasma corticosterone tended to decrease and in in vitro incubation of rat pituitary tissue the addition of pentagastrin elicited a suppressive effect on the ACTH release from the tissue into the medium.
