The synthesis of adrenocorticotropic hormone, in turn, is managed by a peptide substance - corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) - synthesized by the hypothalamus. The adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH, a polypeptide) of the pituitary gland controls the synthesis of cortisol and aldosterone. A regulation of cortisol and aldosterone levels (a negative feedback loop) The glucocorticoid and the mineralocorticoid hormones add to the long-term stimulation of the immune system when the body is under stress.
The primary mineralocorticoid - aldosterone takes part in control of salt and water balance, which in turn affects blood pressure. The second type - the mineralocorticoids: The primary glucocorticoid – cortisol stimulates the production of carbohydrates and related metabolic functions. The adrenal cortex responsible for the production of three types of steroid hormones.
