hormone stimulating adrenal glands to release cortisol

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH), also known as corticotropin, is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol, a crucial stress hormone. This hormone plays a key role in regulating metabolism, immune response, and stress, and its imbalance can lead to conditions such as Cushing's disease or Addison's disease.
