Abstract

In the second part of this review concerning adrenocortical growth factors, the following stimulatory agents are included: renin, angiotensin II, atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), prostaglandins--in vivo, fibroblast growth factor (FGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), adrenal growth factor (AGF) and adrenergic innervation. Furthermore, some growth-inhibiting factors are discussed, as follows: prostaglandins--in vitro, somatostatin, melatonin and N-acetylserotonin.
