“Ten patients with infantile spasms were treated with ACTH , which resulted in a suppression of thyroxine through an increase of the serum cortisol level and suppression of pituitary TSH secretion.”
“In animals treated before the parr-smolt transformation was completed (early smolts), thyroxine had no effect on plasma cortisol levels but significantly enhanced the sensitivity of the interrenal to ACTH in vitro.”

“These results suggest that thyroxine influences the maturation of those neural structures which participate in the regulation of the diurnal rhythm of ACTH secretion and, as a consequence, in that of corticosterone production.”
“ Thyroxine and tri-iodothyronine accelerate transferase development after treatment with adrenocorticotropic hormone or corticosteroid to the rate seen after pituitary grafting.”
