ACTH - Adrenocoticotropic Hormone: For Human Use?

When people think of hormones, they tend to think all are for human consumption for some expected growth outcome or another. The truth is that most hormones people search for are test kits only for detecting certain hormones within the body.

ACTH

ACTH is produced by the pituitary gland and is a hormone that stimulates the release of adrenaline from the adrenal glands. When this hormone is present, it causes the release of cortisol. Man made adrenocorticotropic hormone is called cosyntropin. The ACTH test is used to determine how well adrenal glands respond to the hormone for the release of cortisol, so it is then not something made for human consumption but most commonly found in an ELISA kit - used for testing for the presence of a particular hormone, protein or just about any other substance commonly tested for in research laboratories. The primary use for such kits is medical and can be ordered from a variety of sources including MyBioSource.
