Correction:
When talking about Addison’s disease, we say ACTH activates melatonin release. It is actually CRH that stimulates both the release of ACTH and MSH (melanocyte stimulating hormone) which both cause the stimulation of melanocytes. These cells create melanin, not melatonin, which is responsible for the darkening of the skin.
