ABSTRACT
Three potent stressors (forced running, immobilization, and footshock) were found to increase levels of cyclic AMP in the pituitaries of both female and male rats. The pituitary cyclic AMP response in females was generally similar to that observed in males. The tested stressors elevated both plasma corticosterone and prolactin and decreased plasma growth hormone. Plasma corticosterone rose more rapidly in females than in males following stress. Control growth hormone levels were higher in male rats. There was no clear cause and effect relationship between elevations of pituitary cyclic AMP and changes in plasma levels of prolactin, corticosterone, and growth hormone.
