11. Some defensins are also called corticostatins ( CS ) because they inhibit corticotropin -stimulated corticosteroid production. 12. This gene is a member of the sauvagine / corticotropin -releasing factor / urotensin I family. 13. This rarely occurs with ectopic corticotropin syndrome and thus is quite useful for distinguishing between the two conditions. 14. This test has been the gold standard for distinguishing between Cushing's disease and ectopic corticotropin syndrome. 15. ACTH release is triggered by corticotropin -releasing hormone ( CRH ) and inhibited by rising glucocorticoid levels. 16. Corticotropin -releasing hormone receptor 1 has been shown to interact with Corticotropin-releasing hormone and Urocortin.17. Corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 has been shown to interact with Corticotropin -releasing hormone and Urocortin. 18. Corticotropin ( ACTH ) is a hormone that is released from the anterior pituitary in response to stress situations.19. Lab animals injected with high levels of corticotropin -releasing factor hormones, or CRFs, eat less of their feed. 20. Hormones which have been studied include estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormone, testosterone, corticotropin releasing hormone, and cortisol.
