As a result, higher levels of 17OH-pregnenolone appear in the blood with adrenocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH ) challenge, which stimulates adrenal corticosteroid synthesis.
22.
Systemic administration of a 5-HT 1A agonist also induces growth hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH ) release through actions in the hypothalamus.
23.
Adrenocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH ) deficiency leads to adrenal insufficiency, a lack of production of glucocorticoids such as cortisol by the adrenal gland.
24.
The trigger for this process in white adipose tissue is instead now thought to be adrenocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH ), adrenaline and noradrenaline.
25.
5-HT 1A receptor activation induces the secretion of various hormones including cortisol, corticosterone, adrenocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH ), oxytocin, prolactin, growth hormone, and ?-endorphin.
26.
Diagnosis is confirmed with a low plasma cortisol measurement in the presence of an elevated adrenocorticotropic hormone level, and normal aldosterone and plasma renin measurements.
27.
Due to its high grade neuroendocrine nature, small-cell carcinomas can produce ectopic hormones, including adrenocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH ) and anti-diuretic hormone ( ADH ).
28.
After 4 weeks, no patient exhibited adrenal suppression, defined as a cortisol level d " 497 nmol / L 30 minutes after adrenocorticotropic hormone challenge.
29.
Itopride given as a single dose study found that it also raises levels of motilin, somatostatin and lowers levels of cholecystokinin, as well as adrenocorticotropic hormone.
30.
In Addison's disease it is caused by excess production of adrenocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH ), which simultaneously releases a compound called melanocyte stimulating hormone ( MSH ).
