Gesteuert wird die Cortisolausschüttung in der Nebenniere von einem weiteren Hormon – dem Adrenocorticotropin ( ACTH ), das in der Hirnanhangsdrüse produziert wird.
Bildet sich dort ein gutartiger Tumor, produziert die Drüse ungebremst ACTH und treibt somit auch den Cortisolspiegel nach oben.
Wie das genau geschieht, war bislang allerdings unklar.
www.uni-wuerzburg.deCortisol secretion in the adrenal gland is controlled by another hormone – adrenocorticotropin ( ACTH ), which is produced in the pituitary gland.
If a benign tumor forms there, the gland produces ACTH unchecked, thereby raising the level of cortisol.
How exactly this happens has been unclear until now.
