Regulation of the Synthesis of Steroidogenic Enzymes in Adrenal Cortical Cells by ACTH
Abstract
Macrophage polarization refers to how macrophages have been activated at a given point in space and time. Polarization is not fixed, as macrophages are sufficiently plastic to integrate multiple signals, such as those from microbes, damaged tissues, and ...Read More

In the citing paper
“In short, the hypothalamus produces corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) that stimulates corticotrope cells in the anterior pituitary to biosynthesize and release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) that in turn stimulates the adrenal gland to produce steroid hormones, specifically DHEA and cortisol [21,22].”
From Human steroid biosynthesis, metabolism and excretion are differentially reflected by serum and urine steroid metabolomes: a comprehensive review (2019) · cites this paper as [22]

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
