	Adrenocorticotropic hormone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH or corticotropin) is a polypeptide hormone synthesised and secreted from corticotropes in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland in response to the hormone corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) released by the hypothalamus.
		ACTH is also related to the circadian rhythm in many organisms.

	ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) for multiple sclerosis
		ACTH is rarely used today because of the severe allergic reactions it can cause.
		ACTH does not stop the progression of MS, but it does help reduce symptoms during an attack.
		ACTH is not used for long-term treatment of MS because it does not prevent the progression of the disease.

	► ACTH
		The levels of ACTH vary with the body's circadian rhythms (the pattern of physiologic changes that occurs on a 24-hour cycle).
		ACTH is a protein hormone secreted from the anterior pituitary gland.
		The main function of ACTH is the regulation of the steroid hormone cortisol, which is secreted by the adrenal cortex.

	Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		ACTH is secreted from the anterior pituitary in response to corticotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus.
		Additional information on the role of ACTH in regulation of adrenal steroid secretion is presented in the sections on the adrenal gland and glucocorticoids.
		Within the pituitary gland, ACTH is produced in a process that also generates several other hormones.

		ACTH, at 39AA, is at the practical limits of peptide synthesis for the production of analogs, but has been well studied because of the biological actvity of smaller, more synthetically accessible fragments.
		ACTH is a highly conserved amongst animals, only amino acids 31 and 33 are found to vary between man and other species.
		ACTH may be better for long-term, low dose therapy in diseases such as rhematoid arthritis, but it is normally prescribed for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

	ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) for gout (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		ACTH and cosyntropin, a man-made (synthetic) form of ACTH, can relieve symptoms during acute gouty attacks by stimulating the body to produce and release corticosteroids that naturally reduce inflammation.
		ACTH is sometimes used to treat acute gouty attacks if you cannot tolerate nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or you have other medical conditions that might be aggravated by NSAIDs.
		ACTH is not used for long-term treatment of gout because it does not lower the elevated uric acid level that causes gout and thus does not stop progression of the disease.

	ACTH: The Test
		ACTH levels in the blood are tested to help diagnose Cushing's syndrome, Addison's disease, and tumors of the pituitary and adrenal glands.
		ACTH is usually ordered if you are found to have low cortisol or have signs or symptoms that suggest adrenal or pituitary disease.
		An increased ACTH result can mean that a patient has Cushing's disease, Addison's disease, or ectopic ACTH-producing tumors or pituitary growths.

		ACTH (Cortrosyn) stimulation test measures the ability of the adrenal cortex to respond to ACTH by producing cortisol appropriately.
		ACTH is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland that stimulates the adrenal glands.
		An increase in cortisol after stimulation by ACTH is normal.

		The value of cross-sectional imaging in ACTH dependent Cushing’s syndrome is also restricted, in view of the presence of small nonfunctioning ‘incidentalomas’ in upto 10% of MRI done in normal young people.
		The diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome is established by the biochemical confirmation of a hypercortisolemic state – marked by high urine free Cortisol, inadequate suppression of serum cortisol after Low dose dexamethasone suppression test, and dampening of the normal circadian rhythm.
		Since ACTH dependent Cushing’s syndrome is secondary to a pituitary microadenoma in over 90% of patients, the pretest probability of Cushing’s disease is 90%[1,2].

	ACTH: Common Questions
		Cushing’s disease is another term for pituitary Cushing’s syndrome, in which there is overstimulation of the adrenal gland by ACTH, usually because of benign tumors of the pituitary.
		Addison's disease is another name for primary adrenocortical insufficiency, which happens when the adrenal cortex is destroyed and there is a lack of cortisol and another adrenal steroid, aldosterone.
		This means that ACTH is made from tumors elsewhere in the body, usually (but not always) in the lungs.
