Loss of function of the adrenal gland could result in

↑ CRH, ↑ ACTH and ↓ cortisol in plasma

In Cushing’s Syndrome there is excess cortisol secretion which

Increases glucose and decreases antibodies

Cortisol is? (PEP=Peptide HORM= Hormone)

Steroid HORM synthesised on demand and diffuses out of cell

Tumors of the pituitary could result in

↓ CRH, ↑ ACTH and ↑ cortisol on plasma

Which of the following have a similar precursor?

estrogen, aldosterone, cortisol

ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic) hormone is

Released from the pituitary gland and inhibits CRH release

Conditions in which the pituitary is secreting ↑ACTH, you could see the following in plasma

Low CRH, high ACTH and high Cortisol

Cell cytoplasmic receptors to increase plasma glucose

high in the evening and high in the morning
