- Physiological reviews
- 1999
Glucocorticoids are hormone products of the adrenal gland, which have long been recognized to have a profound impact on immunologic processes. The communication between immune and neuroendocrine… Expand
Effect of stress on the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis: peripheral and central mechanisms.
This article reviews the mechanisms believed to mediate stress-induced inhibition of reproductive functions and the anatomical sites at which these effects take place. Particular emphasis is placed… Expand

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) injected into the brains of rats produces hyperglycemia and an increase in plasma concentrations of glucagon, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. Neither… Expand
Chemical and biological characterization of corticotropin releasing factor.
Publisher Summary
Hypothalamus liberates a substance into the hypophysial portal blood that stimulates the adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) activity of the pituitary. This chapter discusses the… Expand
