Its primary function is to stimulate the adrenal cortex to produce and release steroid hormones, most notably cortisol.
Therefore, when a biological process is described as ACTHvälitteisessä, it implies that ACTH is the key signaling
Understanding processes described as ACTHvälitteisessä is crucial in fields such as endocrinology and physiology. It helps
