ACTH (1-13) is a 13-aa peptide, with cytoprotective effects in the model of ethanol induced gastric lesions in rats.
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is a tropic hormone produced by the anterior pituitary, regulates cortisol and androgen production and is associated with Addison disease, Cushing syndrome and Cushing disease[2].
ACTH (1-13) alone or in combination with met-enkephalin shows potent cytoprotective effects in the model of ethanol induced gastric lesions in rats, and has immunomodulatory effects[1].
