An individual has increased levels of ACTH. The clinician determines that the treatment needed is a drug that is an antagonist of ACTH receptors. 1. Draw the pathway the correctly depicts what the structures of this pathway and specifically where cortisol, CRH and ACTH are released from. 2. Add arrows (increase or decrease to your pathway) that represents this patients cortisol, CRH and ACTH levels in the initial treatment of this medication. ( Hint: Don't read into the statement "initial treatment", sometimes there are adaptations to treatment, and this question is just asking about the differences in these levels between someone who needs this medication vs. someone who does not). For example an arrow upward would indicate an increase in that hormone in the presence of the medication. Hint two: think about what an antagonist of receptors does and where an antagonist of ACTH receptors would act.
