Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone and Arginine Vasopressin Gene Transcription in the Hypothalamic Paraventricular Nucleus of Unstressed Rats: Daily Rhythms and Their Interactions with Corticosterone

To drive the daily ACTH secretory rhythm from anterior pituitary corticotropes signals from the circadian clock schedule CRH and, to lesser extent, arginine vasopressin (AVP) release from neuroendocrine terminals. In turn, releasable pools of CRH and AVP in neuroendocrine terminals are sustained by...
