Adjuvant arthritis was induced in female Fisher rats by injecting their right hind paw with 0.1 ml Freund''s complete adjuvant. The development of adjuvant arthritis was inhibited by hypophysectomy and by daily treatment of intact animals with the dopaminergic agent bromocriptine. Adjuvant arthritis developed normally if hypophysectomized or bromocriptine-suppressed animals were treated with either prolactin or growth hormone. Additional treatment with ACTH inhibited this restoration. Treatment of hypophysectomized rats with FSH, luteinizing hormone and TSH had no effect. Prolactin and/or growth hormone evidently are necessary for the development of adjuvant arthritis, whereas adrenocorticotropic hormone has an inhibitory effect.
