| corticotrophic adenoma | <oncology, tumour> ACTH-secreting tumour, posterior lobe of the pituitary (central location), usually less than 5mm. See: Cushing disease, pituitary adenoma. (12 Dec 1998) |

| corticotropic hormone | The hormone of the anterior lobe of the hypophysis which governs the nutrition and growth of the adrenal cortex, stimulates it to functional activity, and also possesses extraadrenal adipokinetic activity; it is a polypeptide containing 39 amino acids, but exact structure varies from one species to another; sometimes prefixed by a to distinguish it from beta-corticotropin. The first thirteen amino acids at the N-terminal region are identical to alpha-melanotropin. Synonym: adrenocorticotropin, adrenotropic hormone, adrenotropin, corticotropic hormone, corticotropin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corticotropin | Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), a normal by-product of the anterior pituitary gland acts by controlling the secretion of the adrenal hormone, cortisol. (27 Sep 1997) |
| corticotropin-like intermediate-lobe peptide | <protein> A product of propiomelanocortin with unknown function. Acronym: CLIP (05 Mar 2000) |
| corticotropin-releasing factor | <endocrinology, physiology> A neuropeptide released by the hypothalamus that stimulates the release of corticotropin by the anterior pituitary gland. Chemical name: Corticotropin-releasing factor Synonym: corticoliberin, corticotropin releasing factor. (12 Dec 1998) |
| corticotropin-releasing hormone | <endocrinology, physiology> A neuropeptide released by the hypothalamus that stimulates the release of corticotropin by the anterior pituitary gland. Chemical name: Corticotropin-releasing factor Synonym: corticoliberin, corticotropin releasing factor. (12 Dec 1998) |

| corticosteroid |
Hormones produced by the adrenal gland which are important to almost every function of cells and organs. They are divided into two groups: glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. Glucocorticoids regulate protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism. Mineralocorticoids regulate electrolyte balances.

| corticosteroid |
A natural steroid that comes from the cortex or adrenal gland, or a synthetic version. Corticosteroids can reduce swelling, pain, and other manifestations of inflammation.
