The effects of naloxone on basal and ACTHstimulated corticosterone secretion from superfused rat adrenocortical tissue were investigated. High doses (10-3 and 10-4M) of naloxone produced a decline in basal steroidogenesis, whereas lower doses (10-5-10-7 M) of naloxone resulted in elevations of corticosterone secretion. The simultaneous addition of an aliquot of ACTH and varying amounts of naloxone resulted in a dose-dependent alteration in the steroidgenic response by the tissue to ACTH. With higher doses (10-3 and 10-4 M) of naloxone, there were little or no significant alterations in the response to an initial dose of ACTH; however, the steroidogenic responses to ACTH administered 2 and 4 h after the single aliquot of naloxone were significantly potentiated. The lower dose of naloxone (10-610-10 M) resulted only in the potentiation of the initial ACTH response. The simultaneous administration of ACTH and 10-12 M naloxone resulted in no apparent alteration in the response to ACTH at any period in the stu...
