Physiology of Regulation of ACTH Secretion,mulates the adrenal cortex in vertebrate animals and man. The N-terminal 24 amino acids are identical in all species studied. Minor species differences in amino acid composition occur in the 25–39 portion of the molecule. On a molar basis, the 1–24 amino acid sequence of the ACTH molecule possesses

These hormones affect virtually all body tissues. In recent years, investigators have sought to establish a common basic mechanism for all gluco

In the latter group, it is further necessary to distinguish patients with Cushing’s disease from those with either adrenal or ectopic ACTH

Cortisol replacement therapy should be maintained at a sufficient dose to avoid symptoms of hypoadrenalism
