Abstract The content of noradrenalin, adrenalin, and serotonin in the hypothalamus and mesencephalon of male rats was investigated during exposure to factors stimulating pituitary adrenocortical function. Potentiation of this function was accompanied by some decrease in the nonradrenalin level in the hypothalamus and mesencephalon and by the appearance of adrenalin, which is not normally found there. A role of serotonin in the regulation of adrenocorticotropic function could not be established because its potentiation was observed when the serotonin concentration in the hypothalamus was either raised or lowered.
