1. adrenocorticotropin

   Adrenocorticotropin, also known as ACTH or corticotropin, is a hormone produced and released by the pituitary gland. It stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol, a steroid hormone that regulates a wide range of processes throughout the body, including metabolism and the immune response. ACTH also plays a role in controlling levels of the adrenal hormone aldosterone, which regulates blood pressure. This hormone is usually released in response to biological stress, playing a major role in the body's stress response.
