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 ...

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.

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 ...

ISOLATED ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE (ACTH) DEFICIENCY
Acta Pathologica Japonica, 1982The case to be reported is that of a 72‐year‐old woman with isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) deficiency, who complained of anorexia and generalized malaise. The secretions of human growth hormone(HGH), prolactin (PRL), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were all within normal ...

Pancreatic Exocrine Carcinoma Producing Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
Pancreas, 1992A rare case of pancreatic exocrine carcinoma with an endocrine component secreting adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is reported and discussed in relation to other cases previously published. The patient initially presented with a severe form of diabetes, which was treated accordingly.

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 ...

Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Syndrome
Archives of Dermatology, 1970A case of the ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome associated with malignancy and Cushing's syndrome was established by the recovery of an ACTH-like polypeptide from a metastatic cutaneous nodule. This communication emphasizes the capacity of neoplasms to produce a variety of hormone-like substances, and reviews the clinical and ...
