The effects of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) on the rat adrenal cortex were investigated by coupled morphometric and radioimmunological techniques. Short-term alpha-MSH administration provoked a significant increase in the aldosterone plasma level along with a notable lipid droplet depletion in zona glomerulosa cells. Long-term alpha-MSH treatment induced a notable hypertrophy of zona glomerulosa cells and a further rise in the blood concentration of aldosterone. alpha-MSH did not affect zona fasciculata morphology and corticosterone plasma level. The possibility is discussed that alpha-MSH may be specifically involved in the control of the growth and steroidogenic capacity of rat adrenal zona glomerulosa.
