Abstract excerpt
The non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist dizocilpine maleate (MK-801) stimulates the secretion of adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH). As corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) represents the primary modulator of this secretion, we tested the hypothesis that the ability of...
