ACTH is a hormone produced in the anterior pituitary gland that stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), and aldosterone.
ACTH Stimulation Test. Your pituitary gland, a pea-sized gland located at the base of your brain, produces many types of hormones, including the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands, which sit atop the kidneys, to release two hormones, cortisol and adrenaline, also known as epinephrine.hen there is a stressful situation, this hormone along with another hormone, norepinephrine, is responsible for the protective fight-or-flight response. If a doctor suspects that your adrenal glands might not be functioning properly, he or she may perform an ACTH (cosyntropin) stimulation test.
