Cost‐effectiveness of adrenocorticotropic hormone versus oral steroids for infantile spasms

Epilepsia, 2021
To compare the effectiveness and cost‐effectiveness of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and oral steroids as first‐line treatment for infantile spasm resolution, we performed a systematic review, meta‐analysis, and cost‐effectiveness study.

Modulation of gut microbiota by chlorogenic acid pretreatment on rats with adrenocorticotropic hormone induced depression-like behavior.

Food & Function, 2019
Gut microbiota dysbiosis has been implicated as a vital element in the development or exacerbation of mental disorders, such as major depressive disorder (MDD).

The effect of adrenocorticotropic hormone in epilepsy

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1950
Summary 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, 2020
The 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 ...

Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Syndrome

Endocrine Reviews, 1994
THE 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 ...

Pulsatile adrenocorticotropic hormone: An overview

Biological Psychiatry, 1997
Adrenocorticotropic 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 ...

PITUITARY ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1950
To 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 ...

ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE (ACTH) IN URINE*

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1954
RELATIVELY 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, 2007
Endogenous 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.
