corticotrop(h)ic, a. Biochem.|ˌkɔːtɪkəʊˈtrɒfɪk, -ˈɒpɪk| [f. cortico- + trophic a.] = adrenocorticotrophic a.
1934Chem. Abstr. XXVIII. 6813/1 (heading) Comparison of the effects of the corticotropic hormone of the pituitary upon various animal species. 1935Ibid. 5163/1 Animal charcoal absorbs the pigmentation hormone without affecting the corticotropic hormone. 1936[see adreno-cortical a.]. 1939Jrnl. Endocrinology I. 57 The growth response of hereditarily dwarfed mice and of pigeons to..corticotropic extracts and to thyroxin does not disprove the existence of growth hormone. 1944Lancet 5 Feb. 188/2 The evidence for corticotrophic activity in anterior pituitary extracts is well established. Hence ˌcorticoˈtrop(h)in [-in1] = adrenocorticotrophin.
1942Jrnl. Endocrinology III. 8 These experiments strongly suggest the presence of two different factors in pituitary corticotrophin—one affecting adrenal weight, the other the distribution of lipoid in the cortex. 1943Science 3 Sept. 225/1 It is generally believed that hypophyseal corticotropin is protein in nature. 1944Lancet 5 Feb. 188/2 Thus corticotrophin has been postulated as being responsible for all or part of the growth-promoting activity, glycotropic activity and diabetogenic activity of anterior pituitary extracts, and..there is evidence to support all these claims, though not evidence enough to make them by any means cast-iron. 1952Chem. Abstr. XLVI. 6754 (heading) Treatment of ulcerative colitis with corticotropin (ACTH) and cortisone. 1962Lancet 8 Dec. 1190/2 Patients with rheumatoid arthritis from ten British centres who had been treated with corticotrophin or steroids. |
