[edit on Wikidata] Pituitary ACTH hypersecretion (or Cushing disease) is a form of hyperpituitarism characterized by an abnormally high level of ACTH produced by the anterior pituitary. It is one of the causes of Cushing's syndrome. (However, Cushing's syndrome can be caused by many other causes, including exogenous administration.) ^ Drouin J, Bilodeau S, Vallette S (September 2007). Of old and new diseases: genetics of pituitary ACTH excess (Cushing) and deficiency.
Cushing syndrome is a group of signs and symptoms caused by abnormally high levels of cortisol (hypercortisolism). Cortisol is produced by the outer layer of the adrenal glands, called the cortex.Cortisol is a steroid hormone that breaks down fat and protein and stimulates liver glucose production. Cushing disease, a form of Cushing syndrome, occurs in about 40% of cases and is the most common cause of excess endogenous cortisol production by the adrenal glands. 2  It is caused by a pituitary tumor (adenoma) that secretes ACTH.
