Metabolic responses to the administration of Angiotensin II, K and ACTH are described in two salt-wasting syndromes: hypoaldosteronism in Jews from Iran, which is characterized by an enzymic block in the conversion of 18-hydroxycorticosterone to aldosteron; and pseudohypoaldosteronism, a disorder in which aldosterone secretion is high in association with renal tubular unresponsiveness to mineralocorticoids. The response of plasma and urinary aldosterone to K and ACTH is qualitatively normal in hypoaldosteronism; however, infusion of Angiotensin II, in a dose that was pressor and elevated aldosterone levels threefold in control subjects, was only pressor in hypoaldosteronism. In pseudohypoaldosteronism, plasma and urinary aldosterone respond to Angiotensin II, K and ACTH, notwithstanding very high basal hormonal levels.

D006854 Hydrocortisone The main glucocorticoid secreted by the ADRENAL CORTEX. Its synthetic counterpart is used, either as an injection or topically, in the treatment of inflammation, allergy, collagen diseases, asthma, adrenocortical deficiency, shock, and some neoplastic conditions.

D000324 Adrenocorticotropic Hormone An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).
