| 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) |
| corticoviridae | <virology> A family of icosahedral, lipid-containing, non-enveloped bacteriophages containing one genus (corticovirus). (12 Dec 1998) |
| cortin | <drug, endocrinology, pharmacology> Any of the steroids elaborated by the adrenal cortex (excluding the sex hormones of adrenal origin) in response to the release of adrenocorticotrophin or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) by the pituitary gland, to any of the synthetic equivalents of these steroids or to angiotensin II. They are divided, according to their predominant biological activity, into three major groups: glucocorticoids (e.g. Cortisol, cortisone), chiefly influencing carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, mineralocorticoids (for example aldosterone), affecting the regulation of electrolyte and water balance and C19 androgens. Some corticosteroids exhibit both types of activity in varying degrees and others exert only one type of effect. The corticosteroids are used clinically for hormonal replacement therapy, for suppression of ACTH secretion by the anterior pituitary, as antineoplastic, antiallergic and anti-inflammatory agents and to suppress the immune response. Synonym: adrenocortical hormone, corticoid. (13 Nov 1997) |
| cortisol | <hormone> The major adrenal glucocorticoid, stimulates conversion of proteins to carbohydrates, raises blood sugar levels and promotes glycogen storage in the liver. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cortisol acetate | Hydrocortisone 21-acetate;similar actions and uses as hydrocortisone. Synonym: cortisol acetate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortisol delta 4-reductase | <enzyme> Forms 5 alpha-dihydrocortisol& 5 beta-dihydrocortisol Registry number: EC 1.3.1.- Synonym: cortisol delta(4)-hydrogenase, cortisol delta(4)-5 beta-reductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cortisol lyase | <enzyme> Hydrocortisone is converted to 11beta-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione Registry number: EC 4.1.2.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| cortisol suppression test | <investigation> A test that measures the response of the adrenal glands to ACTH. In this case, dexamethasone is given to the patient and then blood cortisol levels are measured. Under normal conditions, cortisol levels should drop in response to dexamethasone. In this test one milligram of dexamethasone is administered in the morning and then the blood is drawn for analysis the following morning. Abnormal test results can indicate Cushing's syndrome. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cortisone | Derived from cortisol and with similar physiological actions. (18 Nov 1997) |
| corticate |
having a cortex.

| 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.
