Define the Regulation of Glucocorticoid Secretion Glucocorticoid secretion is mainly controlled by ACTH or adrenocorticotropic hormone from the anterior pituitary gland.In any stress, ACTH secretion increases. It stimulates glucocorticoids. ACTH secretion is controlled by CRF or Corticotropin Releasing Factor from the hypothalamus.lucocorticoid secretion is mainly controlled by ACTH or adrenocorticotropic hormone from the anterior pituitary gland.

ACTH, in turn, stimulates the release of the glucocorticoids from the adrenal cortex. (See also adrenal gland .). The principal glucocorticoid hormone is cortisol, which regulates the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.Specifically, it increases the catabolism or breakdown of protein in bone, skin, muscle, and connective tissue.nother effect of cortisol is that of dampening the body's inflammatory response to invasion by foreign agents. When present in large amounts, cortisol inhibits the release of histamine and counteracts potentially destructive reactions, such as increased capillary permeability and the migration of leukocytes.
