   Glucocorticoids have massive and far-reaching effects on the body and brain, including increases in blood pressure, increased glucose circulation, decreased reproductive axis output, complex effects on immune functions and various other effects (step 5 in Figure 12.12). In addition to glucocorticoids, the adrenal gland also produces epinephrine and various other hormones from cells in the ...

   Oct 28, 2022 · Because metabolic stressors such as starvation induce high glucocorticoid levels, it’s been suggested that these hormones might help prepare the fetus for the environment it will be born into. Tough, stressful environments push fetuses to develop stress-sensitive “thrifty” metabolisms that store fat easily.

   How does the stress system work?

   • The stress system receives and integrates a great diversity of neurosensory (i.e. visual, auditory, somatosensory, nociceptive, and visceral), blood-borne, and limbic signals which arrive at the various stress system centers/stations through distinct pathways.

   How is a stress response mediated?

   How does stress affect muscles?

   • Muscle tension is almost a reflex reaction to stress—the body’s way of guarding against injury and pain. With sudden onset stress, the muscles tense up all at once, and then release their tension when the stress passes. Chronic stress causes the muscles in the body to be in a more or less constant state of guardedness.
