Stress can sometimes cause hives, itchy bumps, and redness on your face and other body parts. Learn how to treat a rash from stress and how to prevent it.

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis regulates stress hormones like cortisol, which, when chronically elevated, contribute to hypertension, insulin resistance, and immune dysfunction. While ...

Adrenal steroidogenesis is under the control of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. Furthermore, metabolic factors including insulin and obesity-related signals may play a role in ...

Through mechanisms, including modulation of immune responses, control of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, maintenance of the gut barrier, and synthesis of important neurotransmitters, we ...

Additionally, Tai Chi may optimize immune balance by regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and influencing epigenetic pathways, alleviating chronic inflammatory conditions.

Is your sex life shrinking? Chronic stress and hormone disruption are killing our sex lives. It's not you—it's your nervous system. And, yes, there’s a path back to pleasure.

'Overtime, your HPA axis, which regulates the stress response, may become less sensitive to cortisol feedback, potentially leading to higher overall cortisol levels and altered diurnal patterns.' ...

Released by the adrenal cortex via the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, cortisol helps maintain homeostasis during stress by modulating metabolism, inflammation, and immune activity.

Elevated cortisol in chronic stress and mood disorders causes morbidity including metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. There is therefore interest in developing drugs that lower cortisol by ...

The HPA axis imbalance theory posits that hormone imbalance is strongly linked to psychiatric diseases, including anxiety and stress disorders. The involvement of the HPA axis in the stress response ...

Chronic stress can cause negative effects over time due to a mechanism of prolonged cortisol release, which causes desensitization of the HPA axis over time. An underlying mechanism that causes ...
