Meanings of adrenocorticotropic hormone in English

Plasma cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone responses were similar to those found to experimentally-induced pain in normal subjects, i.e.

Plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone levels were significantly higher in the CRF patients, possibly indicative of an underlying hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis abnormality.

The serum cortisol and adrenal steroids levels were always nearly undetectable, but the adrenocorticotropic hormone levels were extremely high.

However, blood pressure, mean heart rate and the plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone level showed no significant differences between the two groups.

We studied four patients with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-independent hypercortisolism due to bilateral massive enlargement of the adrenal glands.

Peak cortisol responses to corticotropin releasing factor and adrenocorticotropic hormone were correlated with each other and with 24-hour urinary-free cortisol excretion.

It is important to compare the laterality of aldosterone secretion by performing simultaneous bilateral blood collection 15 min following adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation.

The patient was finally diagnosed as having CAH with 17a-hydroxylase deficiency according to the endocrine profile, adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation test, and genetic analysis.

Evidence of lower cortisol and lower response to adrenocorticotropic hormone in infants subsequently developing BPD led to studies of early low-dose hydrocortisone to prevent BPD.

SR-BI mRNA is increased in stressed wild type mice and in Y1 adrenal cells treated with adrenocorticotropic hormone; the latter effect is inhibited by HDL.

The effects of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) on systolic blood pressure, and echocardiographic indexes of heart size and function were investigated in 14 infants.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone therapy may achieve partial or complete remission of seizures, but the effect is usually temporary.

Purpose: Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secreted by pituitary tumors lead to changes in nasal cavity anatomy and physiology.
