Special emphasis will be given to the transcription factors required to mediate ACTH-dependent transcription of steroidogenic genes. The initial step of steroidogenesis occurs in the mitochondria.

ACTH-stimulated cortisol secretion increased slightly (median = 383.51 ng/ml). Forskolin is a potent cAMP-dependent pathway activator, the main trigger of adrenocortical steroidogenesis and incubation ...
