What is cortisol secretion?
I have no clue
What could be the cause of morning fevers?
there is decrease in the secretion of cortisol in the evening, so there is increase in the temperature. cortisol is a steroid which hampers the inflammatory reaction and so hampers the manifestation of fever also, but in evening there is decrease in secretion so that there is rise in temperature. Cortisol secretion is maximum in early morning.
Why there is evening rise in temp in tuberculosis?
decrease cortisol secretion in the evening
What gland is primarily affected if ACTH does not cause a normal elevation of cortisol secretion?
The adrenal gland is primarily affected if adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) does not cause a normal elevation of cortisol secretion. ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, so a lack of cortisol elevation in response to ACTH may indicate dysfunction or disease affecting the adrenal glands themselves.
What is the medical term meaning hypofunction of the adrenal cortex?
Addison's disease is the result of inadequate secretion of cortisol by the adrenal cortex.When your adrenal glands don't produce enough cortisol, it is called adrenal insufficiency. It can also be referred to as Addison's disease or hypocortisolism.
What gland is primarily affected if ACTH does cause a normal elevation of cortisol secretion?
Anterior pituitary
What does the medical abbreviation ACTH mean?
Adrenocorticotropic hormone.ACTH stands for AdrenoCorticoTroic Hormone.It stimulates secretion of glucocorticoids such as cortisol, and has little control over secretion of aldosterone, the other major steroid hormone from the adrenal cortex.
What does hyposecretion of cortisol cause?
symptoms of cortisol secretion arepoor responce to stresshypoglycaemiahyperpigmentation of skin from excessive adenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) which binds with melonocytes stimulating hormone (MSH) causes darkness of skin.
Which hormone is also called hydrocortisone?
Cortisol
What is tree secretion called?
Sap.
What is the release of the process called?
Secretion
Is acth secretion regulated by a hypothalamic secretion?
Yes, ACTH secretion is regulated by corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) produced by the hypothalamus. CRH stimulates the release of ACTH from the pituitary gland, which in turn stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. This pathway is part of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis that plays a key role in the body's response to stress.
