ACTH stands for Adrenocorticotropic Hormone. It is a normal by-product of the anterior pituitary gland. It acts by controlling the secretion of the adrenal hormone, cortisol. Produced by the pituitary gland. Symptoms of ACTH deficiency include weakness, fatigue and gastrointestinal disturbances.

Adreno-cortico-tropic hormone is a drug that stimulates the adrenal gland to release cortisone. It is seldom used any more.
