1 Present data support the hypothesis that adrenaline and/or noradrenaline could mediate the effects of both NPY and VIP on aldosterone secretion via beta 1 adrenergic receptors; alternatively, the steroidogenic effect of NPY or VIP could be related to direct interaction between NPY- or VIP-specific binding sites, present on the capsule/glomerular zone of the rat adrenal cortex, and beta 1 adrenergic receptors.
