these data allow us to conclude that the inhibitory effect of met-enkephalin on mineralocorticoid production exerted at the level of the adrenals might be complementary to the factor ( s ) thought to be involved in the regulation of adrenal steroid production , playing a role similar to that of the biogenic amines originating in the adrenal medulla and regulating the adrenal cortex by a peripheral neurohumoral paracrine mechanism .
