| Control of CRH and ACTH release is maintained through negative feedback by cortisol at the hypothalamic and pituitary levels. |
|
| That substance was adrenocorticotropic hormone, or ACTH, which is made by the pituitary gland. |
|
| If the results of the work-up to this point are equivocal or the work-up suggests ectopic ACTH production, inferior petrosal sinus sampling is indicated. |
|
| Patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy with ACTH, corticosteroids, irradiation, alkylating agents or antimetabolites. |
|
| Dr. Elizabeth Kaegi: It has melatonin in it, it has ACTH, and it has couple of other substances that I've not been able to fully identify. |
|
| Glucocorticoids are also called stress hormones, as stress factors cause a rapid increase in ACTH and consequently of glucocorticoids. |
|
| The hormone ACTH is formed in the frontal lobe of the pituitary and acts on the cortex of the adrenal glands. |
|
| Clinical studies indicate that multiple sclerosis patients can receive REBIF and corticosteroids or ACTH during relapses. |
|
| It inhibits the release of other hormones, including growth hormone, STH, ACTH, insulin and glucagon. |
|
| The interaction of REBIF with corticosteroids or ACTH has not been studied systematically. |
|
| Trials conducted on rats show that, under conditions of stress, Peptidea® helped reduce the intensity of ACTH secretion. |
|
| Adrenal responsiveness to exogenously administered ACTH has usually been normal. |
|
| Increased secretion of ACTH because of a corticotroph tumour or corticotroph hyperplasia causes adrenocortical hyperfunction, which in turn causes the constellation of symptoms and signs called Cushing syndrome. |
|
| In one study it was found that adrenalectomy performed in non-stress conditions increased plasma ACTH and corticosterone levels are reduced. |
|
| A low serum ACTH and normal serum cortisol levels were noted 6 months ago when the mass was first discovered. |
|
| The report provides an overview of the Pituitary ACTH Hypersecretion 's therapeutic pipeline. |
|
| Several melanocyte-stimulating hormones are normally produced along with ACTH via cleavage of the common precursor protein, proopiomelanocortin. |
|
| The anterior lobe of the hypophysis secretes beta endorphin and ACTH as a reaction to the insertion of an acupuncture needle. |
|
| Influence of vitamin C nutriture and inanition on ACTH stimulated release of adrenal corticosteroids in guinea pigs. |
|
| Effects of cortisone and ACTH on periarteritis nodosa and cranial arteritis. |
|
|
|
| The patient was referred for inferior petrosal sinus vein sampling, which surprisingly did not show a central to peripheral ACTH gradient. |
|
| Manifestations of adrenal suppression in children include linear growth retardation, delayed weight gain, low plasma cortisol levels and absence of response to ACTH stimulation. |
|
| The measurement of ACTH is used in the diagnosis of adrenal dysfunctions such as Cushing's Syndrome and Nelson's Syndrome. |
|
| Other, less common types of cancer that can produce ACTH are thymomas, carcinoid tumors, pancreatic islet cell tumors, and medullary carcinomas of the thyroid. |
|
| Ectopic ACTH, prostatic oat cell carcinoma, and marked hypernatremia. |
|
| Human ACTH, its fragments, and melanotropin were obtained from Neosystem. |
|
| As is the case for therapying ectopic ACTH production, very high serum cortisol levels necessitate adrenolytic therapy with o,p'DDD, metopirone, or aminogluthetimide. |
|
| Dissociation of plasma and urinary steroid values after application of stressors, insulin, vasopressin, ACTH, or dexamethasone in the Mongolian gerbil. |
|
| These include adrenergic monoamines, cortisols, insulin, ACTH, and kinins. |
|
| The goal of therapy in CAH is to replace the missing glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, thereby suppressing ACTH concentrations and normalizing adrenal androgens. |
