2 In order to study the involvement of the hypothalamic corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) in catecholamine-induced adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) secretion, we have measured CRF levels in rat hypophysial portal blood (HPB) after the pharmacological destruction of the ventral noradrenergic bundle (VNAB), using 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) stereotaxically injected into the VNAB.
