[Effect of N-acylethanolamines on adrenal cortex function].

The possibility of NAE to take part in the regulation of the function of adrenal glands was studied. It was shown that two times NAE (18:0) injection in a dose 5 mg/kg of weight increased the content of 11-hydroxysteroids in blood of intact male rats. NAE caused the raise of the blood hormone content by 4 times under the immobilization stress. It is apparent that augment of stress response under the influence of NAE in vivo is explained by the activation of hypophysis-adrenal cortex system. In vitro NAE lowered steroidogenesis by near 40%. One can suggest that this decrease is caused by membranotropic properties of NAE.

[Investigation of N-acylethanolamines on adrenal cortex function].

It was shown that two times NAE (18:0) injection in a dose 5 mg/kg of weight increased the content of 11-hydroxysteroids in blood of intact male rats. NAE caused the raise of the blood hormone content in 4 fold under the immobilization stress. It is apparent that augment of stress response under the influence of NAE in vivo is explained by the activation of hypophysis-adrenal cortex system. In vitro NAE lowered steroidogenesis by near 40%. One can suggest that this decrease is caused by membranotropic properties of NAE.

[The GABA-ergic system parameters of the adrenal cortex in animals with normal and stimulated steroidogenesis].

Activity of glutamate decarboxylase, a GABA synthesis enzyme, and intensity of its reception in the adrenal cortex and hypothalamus of guinea pigs and rats with normal and stimulated steroidogenesis was investigated. It has been shown that in the adrenal cortex there is a metabolic system which provides GABA synthesis from glutamate and mechanisms of GABA reception by plasmatic membranes. Mediator synthesis in the adrenal cortex is subjected to seasonal changes, GABA synthesis and reception selectively vary with administration of ACTH, prolactin and maintenance of animals on a diet with an excess of potassium ions.
