... hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction (group 2). Sensitivity and specificity analysis of varying cortisol levels during LDT in diagnosing adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) deficiency (ACTHD) were calculated via the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis against the reference diagnostic test HDT. ACTHD...

Adrenocorticotropic hormone Corticotropin-releasing hormone Endocrinology Feedback loop Receptors Steroids Much of the early history of endocrinology concerned the sequential identification of the anatomy of the endocrine glands, the identification of their presumed roles through clinical observation...

... adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is implicated in the mechanism by which cortisol is stimulated during the L -Dopa test. Methods: Nineteen children with short stature who fulfilled the auxological criteria for growth hormone (GH) deficiency and had a subnormal GH response to glucagon stimulation underwent a second...

... adrenocorticotropic hormone test (1.0 µg/m 2 , IV) was performed before and weekly for 8 weeks after abrupt cessation of glucocorticoid therapy. Sixteen children without ALL were used as controls to determine the cutoff peak cortisol level (14.2 µg/dl). Results: Both groups (PRED and DEX) displayed similar mean peak...

...-dependent and reproducible GH releasing effects as well as significant prolactin (PRL) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) releasing effects. The neuroendocrine activities of GHS are mediated by specific receptors mainly present at the pituitary and hypothalamic level but also elsewhere in the central...

... in vivo the expression of D 2 receptors using specific radiotracers such as 123 I-methoxybenzamide has allowed selection of patients likely to respond to cabergoline. Scant effects of pharmacotherapy have also been reported in patients with adenomas secreting adrenocorticotropic hormone. However, some...

... adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion by the pituitary gland of 21-day-old rat fetuses in vitro and on pro-opiomelanocortin gene expression using in situ hybridization. Results: Graded concentrations of ANP, BNP, or CNP (10 –10 , 10 –9 , and 10 –8 mol/l) induced a log dose dependent inhibition of ACTH...
