Current data on the influence of neuropeptides on the growth, structure and function of cells comprising the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis were presented and discussed. The action of vasopressin, oxytocin, neurotensin, bombesin, neuropeptide Y, substance P and VIP have been evaluated. The hypothesis has been introduced that in vivo effect of some neuropeptides on the structure and function of the adrenal cortex is mediated by vasopressin.
