text: adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (ACTH) corticotropin
text: adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (ACTH) corticotropin
text: Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), a peptide hormone that stimulates both the synthesis and the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in the corticotropin-producing cells (corticotrophs) of the anterior pituitary gland.
text: The blood test for a low cortisol is done by measuring levels in the blood both before and an hour after the injection of a drug called adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
text: It can be caused by either an adrenal tumor or by hypersecretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary gland.
text: Secretion is typically regulated by the hypothalamus which secretes corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) to the pituitary gland, stimulating the pituitary to secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
text: The pituitary responds by sending out adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which, in turn, stimulates the adrenal glands.
text: Cushing's disease is characterized by the hypersecretion of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) due to a pituitary adenoma that ultimately causes endogenous hypercortisolism by stimulating the adrenal glands.
text: The hypothalamus (which receives signals from the hippocampus, the region of the brain that amalgamates information from all the senses and can thus perceive danger and make decisions) releases a hormone called Corticotrophin Releasing Hormone (CRH), which signals to the pituitary gland to release a hormone called Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH), which signals to the adrenal glands to secrete cortisol as well as catecholamines (like adrenalin).
text: The adrenal gland secretes a basal level of cortisol but can also produce bursts of the hormone in response to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary.
text: Glucocorticoid synthesis is stimulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), a hormone released into the bloodstream by the anterior pituitary.
text: Apart from suppression of the axis by glucocorticoid therapy, the most common cause of secondary adrenal insufficiency are tumors that affect the production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) by the pituitary gland.
text: Other catecholamines and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) can also stimulate such responses.
text: The secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone by the hypothalamus triggers cells in the neighboring anterior pituitary to secrete another hormone, the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), into the vascular system, through which blood carries it to the adrenal cortex.
text: Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), also called corticotropin or adrenocorticotropin, a polypeptide hormone formed in the pituitary gland that regulates the activity of the outer region (cortex) of the adrenal glands.
text: The pituitary gland secretes multiple hormones, including melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH, or intermedin), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone, or TSH).
text: Another peptide produced from the cleavage of POMC is adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which can be further cleaved to form α-MSH.
text: Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and the sympathetic nervous system stimulate the synthesis of adrenaline precursors by enhancing the activity of tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine β-hydroxylase, two key enzymes involved in catecholamine synthesis.[citation needed] ACTH also stimulates the adrenal cortex to release cortisol, which increases the expression of PNMT in chromaffin cells, enhancing adrenaline synthesis.
text: Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH; also adrenocorticotropin, corticotropin) is a polypeptide tropic hormone produced by and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.
