Hypotriglycedemic action of synthetic ACTH.
The hypotriglycedemic action of ACTH was investigated in the hyperlipemic patients of various diseases. This effect was apparent within 30 min after intravenous injection of the hormone and lasted up to 96 hr when it was administered intramuscularly. ACTH had no effect on the serum cholesterol or phospholipid concentration. As possible causes of this effect of ACTH, fatty acids mobilization and...
متن کاملACTH Action on StAR Biology
Adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) produced by the anterior pituitary stimulates glucocorticoid synthesis by the adrenal cortex. The first step in glucocorticoid synthesis is the delivery of cholesterol to the mitochondrial matrix where the first enzymatic reaction in the steroid hormone biosynthetic pathway occurs. A key response of adrenal cells to ACTH is activation of the cAMP-protein kinas...
متن کاملACTH action on podocytes: mystery solved?
PODOCYTES are the key target cell for injury in proteinuric kidney disorders such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), minimal change disease, and membranous nephropathy. Sadly, advances in elucidating the molecular architectural details of the podocyte actin cytoskeleton, cell body, and intervening slit diaphragm have not yet translated into targeted therapeutic agents for clinical us...
متن کاملACTH Action on Messenger RNA Stability Mechanisms
The regulation of mRNA stability has emerged as a critical control step in dynamic gene expression. This process occurs in response to modifications of the cellular environment, including hormonal variations, and regulates the expression of subsets of proteins whose levels need to be rapidly adjusted. Modulation of messenger RNA stability is usually mediated by stabilizing or destabilizing RNA-...
