Adrenocorticotropic hormone or (ACTH), also known as 'corticotropin', 'Adrenocorticotrophic hormone'
The abbreviation for the hormone that stimulates the adrenal glands to produce corticosteroids is ACTH, which stands for adrenocorticotropic hormone.
Corticosteroids are used to replace hormones lost in adrenal insufficiency. There are short acting corticosteroids (cortisone and hydrocortisone), intermediate acting corticosteroids (methylprednisolone, prednisolone, prednisone, traimcinolone), and long acting corticosteroids (betamethasone, budesonide, and dexamethasone).

AcTH stimulates the gland.It is produced in Interir pitutory
The adrenal glands produce cortisone, along with other hormones such as cortisol. Cortisone is derived from cortisol in the body and has anti-inflammatory effects. It plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes in the body.
preganglionic sympathetic fibers releasing acetylcholine that bind to receptors on the adrenal medulla
The adrenal medulla, the inner part of the adrenal gland, is primarily controlled by the autonomic nervous system, specifically the sympathetic nervous system, which stimulates the release of catecholamines like adrenaline and noradrenaline during stress. In contrast, the adrenal cortex, the outer layer, is regulated by hormones such as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland and other factors like the renin-angiotensin system and cortisol levels, which influence its production of corticosteroids.
That hormone is called as ACTH or adrenocorticotropic hormone. It stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce corticosteroids.
