 | | Previously, the process had been considered (e.g., by Ivan Pavlov) to be regulated by the nervous system. | | | The effects of pharmacologic doses of hormones may be different from responses to naturally-occurring amounts and may be therapeutically useful. | | | The rate of production of a hormone is often regulated by a homeostatic control system, generally by negative feedback. |

| | Diagnose-Me: Treatment: ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone) |
| | The adrenals control the body's potassium/sodium balance, which is vital for energy production. | | | One hormone which has been shown to shorten the duration and intensity of acute exacerbations is adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), a pituitary gland substance that stimulates the adrenal glands to produce additional cortisone, which acts to reduce the inflammation in the brain or spinal cord. | | | ACTH does not affect the underlying disease processes but may diminish the frequency and severity of exacerbations and even slow the progression of the disease. |

| | The tumors can also block the nerves controlling vision, causing symptoms such as "tunnel vision" (inability to see things off to the side), loss of vision to some localized areas, and double vision, and can cause a change in pattern of headaches. | | | By testing the ability of different doses of dexamethasone to stop ACTH production, it is often possible to tell if the patient has Cushing's syndrome and help determine its cause. | | | Addison's disease presents with symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, weight loss, increased skin pigmentation (even in areas not exposed to the sun) and loss of appetite, often accompanied by laboratory and physical signs such as low blood pressure, low blood glucose, low sodium, high potassium, and high calcium. |

| | corticotropin-releasing hormone is secreted in response to many types of stress, which makes sense in view of the "stress management" functions of glucocorticoids. | | | Corticotropin-releasing hormone itself is inhibited by glucocorticoids, making it part of a classical negative feedback loop. | | | The major attributes of the hormones other than ACTH that are produced in this process are summarized as follows: |
