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.
Cortisol is made by the adrenal glands which are stimulated by ACTH, which is produced in pituitary gland. When the cause of the excess cortisol is excess ACTH made by a pituitary tumor, the condition is called Cushingâs disease.Rarely, excess ACTH can be produced by a tumor elsewhere in the body, which is referred to as ectopic production of ACTH.Another cause of Cushing's syndrome can be taking excess steroid medications. Finally, excess production of cortisol by an adrenal tumor can lead to Cushing's syndrome.arely, excess ACTH can be produced by a tumor elsewhere in the body, which is referred to as ectopic production of ACTH.
