The regulated release of hormones, substances with a specific regulatory effect on a particular organ or group of cells. The process by which a hormone is secreted into the circulatory system. The regulated release of adrenocorticotropin hormone, also known as corticotropin, by a cell or group of cells. Adrenocorticotropin hormone is a polypeptide hormone synthesized and secreted from corticotropes in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland in response to corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) released by the hypothalamus. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of adrenocorticotropic hormone from a cell or group of cells. The process that involves the secretion of or response to endocrine hormones. An endocrine hormone is a hormone released into the circulatory system. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of adrenocorticotropin hormone from a cell or group of cells. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of adrenocorticotropic hormone from a cell or group of cells.
