to ascertain the physiological relevance of an autoregulation of adrenocorticotropin hormone ( acth ) secretion in man , we studied the effect of alsactide ( beta-ala1 , lys17-acth1-17-4-amino-n-butylamide ) , a synthetic acth analogue with potent steroidogenic activity but not recognized in the endogenous acth immunoassay , on plasma acth pattern in patients with addison 's disease .
