Scientists refer to this system as the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). This hormone instructs the pituitary gland to ...
A scientist at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) has discovered that halting a pathway triggered in the brain during stressful situations could ...
Researchers found that depletion of certain gut bacteria can lead to time-specific increases in stress responses through the HPA axis, the body’s central stress response system. Specific bacteria, ...
axis The HPA axis is a central part of the body’s stress response system, involving a series of interactions between the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland and the adrenal glands. When the brain ...
Studies suggest that the peptide might act as a neuromodulator, influencing the balance between excitatory and inhibitory signals within the brain. This potential role may make DSIP a subject of ...
The research demonstrates that depletion of gut microbiota leads to an hyperactivation of the HPA-axis in a time-of-day ... glucocorticoid secretion (stress hormones), linking the microbiota's ...
