The effect of zinc on adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion in the pituitary cell line AtT-20 was studied. Different concentrations of zinc(10(-8) to 1 mmol/L) were added to the medium and ACTH was determined 12 hours later. The findings revealed that zinc within certain concentrations could promote the secretion of ACTH in AtT-20 cells.
