When the body can't make enough of the cortisol hormone, another hormone known as ACTH climbs. This causes the body to overproduce androgens, or male sex hormones like testosterone. For decades ...

The action of the peptide hormone adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) to stimulate glucocorticoid production by the adrenal gland is an essential physiologic process, yet is dependent on a single unique ...

The Research Topic will include: - Growth-promoting activities of ACTH; - Acute and chronic regulation of steroid secretion by ACTH, including effect of ACTH on circadian rythms of secretion. - ...

We present the case of a giant adrenal myelolipoma that supports the role of prolonged adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) stimulation in the induction of myelolipomas in congenital adrenal ...

The most common association is with growth hormone (GH) and prolactin. Cosecretion of GH and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) is rare with only 25 reported cases in literature. Most presented with ...

The hypothalamus secretes corticotropin releasing factor, which acts on the anterior pituitary, where it stimulates the secretion of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH). The adrenal glands are stimulated ...
