ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE (ACTH) IN URINE*
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1954RELATIVELY adequate methods have been developed for assessing the changes in adrenocortical hormone production by urinary steroid assays. No comparable methods exist with respect to the detection of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in urine. In view of the suspected importance of this hormone in states of stress such as surgical trauma, burns ...

Adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent Cushing's syndrome
Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Obesity, 2007Endogenous Cushing's syndrome is adrenocorticotropic hormone (or corticotropin)-independent in 15-20% of cases. Primary Cushing's syndrome is most often secondary to adrenocortical adenomas or carcinomas, and more rarely to bilateral adrenal hyperplasias.

Effects of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in gout
The American Journal of Medicine, 1950Abstract 1.1. ACTH effected a very rapid and satisfactory response in the local and systemic manifestations of acute gout in seven of eleven cases treated, including one patient refractory to colchicine. ACTH therefore appears to be a useful agent in the therapy of acute gout. In many of these patients, however, ACTH was not convincingly superior to

Hereditary adrenocortical unresponsiveness to adrenocorticotropic hormone
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1972Hereditary adrenocortical unresponsiveness to ACTH, a rare form of chronic adrenal insufficiency, was documented in three families. The probands did not respond to prolonged intramuscular ACTH, but they conserved sodium while on a salt-restricted diet. The results of cortisol, aldosterone, deoxycorticosterone, and corticosterone secretory rates in two ...

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone in the Pituitary Gland of the Whale
Nature, 1951A RECENT communication by Boe et al.1 on adrenocorticotropic hormone in the whale prompts us to communicate our own preliminary results on the isolation of this hormone from whale pituitaries. We, however, used the anterior lobe of the whale gland only, and obtained, by Lyons's well-known acid acetone extraction procedure2, from 1 kgm.

Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of human adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which is a polypeptide of molecular weight 5250, composed of 39 amino acid residues in a single chain with no disulfide cross-linkages. Pituitary synthesis, storage, and release of ACTH is influenced by stress, by circulating levels of corticosteroids, and

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (corticotropin; ACTH) is a 39 amino acid peptide hormone produced by cells of the anterior pituitary gland and carried by the peripheral circulation to its effector organ, the adrenal cortex, where it stimulates the synthesis and secretion of glucocorticoids and, to a more modest extent, mineralocorticoids and adrenal ...

Radioactive probes for adrenocorticotropic hormone receptors
Biochemistry, 1986Our attempts to develop adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) analogues that can be employed for ACTH receptor identification and isolation began with the synthesis of ACTH fragments containing N epsilon-(dethiobiotinyl)lysine (dethiobiocytin) amide in position 25 to be used for affinity chromatographic purification of hormone-receptor complexes on ...

INACTIVATION OF ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE IN VITRO BY TISSUES*
Endocrinology, 1952The fact that frequent injections of adrenocorticotropic hormon (ACTH) are necessary in order to achieve a maximum physiological or clinical effect, along with the rapid disappearance of adrenocorticotropic activity from plasma which has been demonstrated to occur after intravenous injection of the hormone (Sayers et al 1949; Greenspan el al.

Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) Syndrome
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1985To the Editor. —In the SeptemberArchives, Sigman and Wallach 1 described a patient with unilateral adrenal hypertrophy and contralateral adrenal atrophy. The authors suggested this was the result of an invasive metastasis to the hypertrophic adrenal that produced ACTH and consequently through hypothalamic feedback caused the contralateral adrenal ...
