In the 1946 elections to the Indian constituent assembly, the Congress lost the Muslim vote to the Muslim League; it reluctantly accepted the partition of the Indian subcontinent and the formation of the state of Pakistan.

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.
The hypothalamus produces corticotropin releasing hormone, which stimulates the pituitary gland to produce ACTH. ACTH then stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol and release it into the bloodstream. Cortisol is a steroid hormone that helps control the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
