n.促肾上腺皮质激素；促皮质素

Adrenocorticotropin, or ACTH, is produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete cortisol.
促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）由垂体腺产生，它刺激肾上腺分泌皮质醇。
The levels of ACTH rise in response to stress, triggering the body's fight-or-flight response.
在压力下，ACTH水平会上升，启动身体的“战斗或逃跑”反应。
Elevated ACTH levels can indicate a condition called Cushing's syndrome, characterized by excessive cortisol production.
高水平的ACTH可能表明一种名为库欣综合症的状况，其特征是皮质醇过度分泌。
In adrenal insufficiency, insufficient ACTH production leads to fatigue and weakness.
在肾上腺功能减退中，ACTH产生不足会导致疲劳和虚弱。
ACTH tests are often used to diagnose Addison's disease, which affects the adrenal glands.
ACTH测试常用于诊断影响肾上腺的艾迪生病。
The administration of synthetic ACTH is a common procedure in endocrinology for diagnosing pituitary disorders.
合成ACTH的给药在内分泌学中是一种常见的诊断垂体疾病的程序。
ACTH stimulation tests help doctors evaluate the functionality of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis.
ACTH激发试验帮助医生评估下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴的功能。
Long-term use of corticosteroids can lead to decreased sensitivity to ACTH, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effect.
长期使用皮质类固醇可能导致对ACTH的敏感度降低，需要更高的剂量才能达到相同效果。
Acute stress disorder can temporarily elevate ACTH levels, but they return to normal once the stressor is resolved.
急性应激障碍可能会暂时提高ACTH水平，但一旦压力源解除，它们会恢复正常。
Treatment for Cushing's disease often involves surgery to remove the tumor causing excess ACTH production.
库欣病的治疗通常包括手术移除导致过量ACTH产生的肿瘤。
