Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the production and release of glucocorticoid hormones from the adrenal cortex. If a tumor decreases the production of ACTH, there will be a decrease in the production and release of glucocorticoid hormones, leading to decreased plasma levels. The other options are not directly controlled by ACTH.
