ACTH is itself secreted under control of the hypothalamic peptide corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). Aldosterone is controlled by the body’s sodium, potassium and water concentrations.

Diseases resulting from abnormalities of this pituitary and adrenal axis either cause a deficiency status or excess status of the hormone cortisol.
