   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.

   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 ...

   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 does stress affect the body?

   • Stress can affect different parts of the body, including the heart, muscles, head, lungs, stomach, and gut. How you go about managing your stress can depend on where you experience it the most. However, experts say following healthy lifestyle behaviors like getting enough sleep and exercising daily can help regardless.

   How does a stress response work?

   • The activation of the stress response mediated by the sympathetic nervous system and the HPA axis involves the immediate increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and glucose release aimed toward providing energy to the muscles.

   How is a stress response mediated?

   • A stress response is mediated through a complex interplay of nervous, endocrine, and immune mechanisms, activating the sympathetic-adreno-medullar (SAM) axis, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and the immune system.

   How does stress affect the reproductive axis?

   • Chronic stress can disrupt the delicate balance of the reproductive axis by suppressing the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus, which subsequently reduces the release of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone from the pituitary gland.
