Adrenocorticotropic hormone TFA
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH; Adrenocorticotrophic hormone) TFA is a polypeptide tropic hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. Adrenocorticotropic hormone TFA stimulates cortisol secretion from the adrenal cortex via the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Adrenocorticotropic hormone TFA regulates cortisol and androgen production. Adrenocorticotropic hormone TFA can promote the development of spermatogenesis. Adrenocorticotropic hormone TFA can relieve acute inflammation in gout models by inhibiting the polarization of macrophages to M1 type, inhibiting ROS and proinflammatory factor production and protecting mitochondrial function. Adrenocorticotropic hormone TFA can be used for the researches of inflammation, endocrinology, metabolic disease, such as gout and nephrotic syndrome.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (100 nM, 5weeks) TFA induces clusters development of spermatogenesis isolated from mouse seminiferous tubules and significantly increases the proportion of pre-meiotic cells (CDH-1, VASA, MC2R-positive) and the expression of PLZF, VASA, MC2R, THY-1 genes[2].
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (100 nM, 5weeks) TFA significantly increases the proportion and gene expression of meiotic marker BOULE-positive cells in cells isolated from mouse seminiferous tubules and has no significant effect on the proportion of meiotic marker CREM-positive cells, increases the proportion of post-meiotic marker ACROSIN-positive cells but decreases its gene expression, and has no effect on the expression of SCP3 and PROTAMINE[2].
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (1.25×10-4-2.5×10-4 U/ml, 48 h) TFA inhibits phagocytic function in MSU-stimulated THP-1-induced macrophages, promotes the polarization of MSU-stimulated macrophages to M2 type, downregulates the secretion of M1-type proinflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, inhibit ROS production and reduces the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pores (mPTP) to protect mitochondrial function[3].
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (1.25×10-4 U/ml, 48 h) TFA regulates the transcription of inflammation-related genes by upregulating genes such as NR1H2, IL-37, and FccRIIIA, and downregulating genes such as NLRP3, MC2R, and MC3R in THP-1-induced macrophages[3].
