ACTH, which contains 39 amino acid residues, is a peptide hormone secreted from corticotropes in the pars distalis in the pituitary. This peptide is generated from a precursor protein called proopiomelanocortin by posttranslational processing. Release of ACTH is primarily stimulated by corticotropin-releasing hormone produced in the hypothalamus ...

The effect of adrenocorticotropic hormone in epilepsy
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1950Summary The effects of ACTH, DOC, and cortisone have been studied in six childrenwith epilepsy. In four of these ACTH produced improvement in the EEG or in the clinical condition. DOC had a beneficial effect on the brain wave in one of the two patients given this drug.

Use of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone in Ophthalmology
Journal of Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2020The ability of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) to induce steroidogenesis and upregulate anti-inflammatory processes has long been known. More recently, however, extrasteroidal mechanisms, through which ACTH exerts anti-inflammatory processes, have been described.

Antigenic Properties of Growth Hormone and Adrenocorticotropic Hormone [PDF]
Nature, 1952 THE antigenic properties of both purified growth hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) have been the subject of relatively few investigations. Using growth hormone, Elberg and Li1 have concluded that this hormone is non-antigenic. With adrenocorticotropic hormone both Gordon2 and Chase3, using different techniques, have concluded that ...

Pulsatile adrenocorticotropic hormone: An overview
Biological Psychiatry, 1997Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is secreted by corticotrophic cells in pulsatile bursts. This paper reviews the extant literature on the phenomenon of pulsatile ACTH after addressing basic issues of hormone pulsatility in neuroendocrine systems. The following themes emerged from reviewing 51 studies measuring plasma ACTH at intervals of 20 min or ...

Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Syndrome
Endocrine Reviews, 1994THE production of hormones and other protein markers by tumors has been an intriguing area of tumor biology. It has become apparent during the last decades that a wide range of endocrine tumors secrete hormones not normally associated with the gland in which the neoplasm arises and that nonendocrine tumors can synthesize and/or secrete polypeptide ...

PITUITARY ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1950To the Editor:— An aspect of pituitary adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) therapy which seems to have escaped attention is the relationship of the pituitary adrenal axis to fat metabolism and to fatty infiltration of the liver. There is a considerable amount of evidence at hand to indicate that the pituitary adrenal axis is involved in fat metabolism ...
