ACTH (Corticotropin)
[Veterinary - Canine, Feline, Bovine]
Corticotropin (ACTH) is a substance normally secreted by the pituitary
gland in both humans and animals. ACTH is needed for the normal
production of corticosteroid hormones. Corticosteroid hormones help
the body adapt to stressful situations and are involved in glucose
(blood sugar) regulation. ACTH preparations are indicated for use
in dogs, cats, and cattle for treatment of ACTH defficiency, as
well as the treatment of bovine ketosis. ACTH is also commonly used
for the diagnosis of hyper- or hypo-adrenocorticism (high or
low levels of corticosteroid hormones) by means of an ACTH stimulation
test.
