| Hyperprolactinemia usually develops in a person with increased prolactin secretion from the anterior pituitary gland, with possible abnormal patterns of secretion of growth hormone, thyroid hormone, and corticotropin. |
| Cushing's syndrome attributable to ectopic secretion of corticotropin in a patient with two neuroendocrine tumors. |
| Like depression, post-traumatic stress disorder is associated with increased secretion of corticotropin releasing hormone. |
| Receptors for corticotropin and the glucocorticoid hormones have been cloned and mechanisms of action elucidated. |
| Central regulation of gastric emptying of solid nutrient meals by corticotropin releasing factor. |
| Conversely, a decrease in serum cortisol concentration results in an increase in the secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone and corticotropin, thereby restoring the secretion of cortisol to normal concentrations. |
