The immune system and the hypothalamic-pituitary- adrenal axis are linked by several mechanisms.

Chronic dysregulation of hypothalamus-pituitary- adrenal axis activity is related to several stress-related disorders.

Hypothalamic-pituitary- adrenal axis hormones are major mediators of the neuroendocrine control over immune function.

Stress such as exposure to ionizing radiation is able to activate the hypothalamus-pituitary- adrenal axis.

They also are more likely to have hypothalamic-pituitary- adrenal axis hyperactivity and increased ventricular-to-brain ratios.

In this study, we found an activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary- adrenal axis after radiation exposure.

However, the chronic use of glucocorticoids has been associated with suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary- adrenal axis.

We investigated the functional determinants of the cutaneous expression of elements of the hypothalamic-pituitary- adrenal axis.

The fetal hypothalamo-pituitary- adrenal axis plays a fundamental role in stimulating increased estrogen production in late gestation.

Systemic inflammation affects the brain, resulting in fever, anorexia, lethargy, and activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary- adrenal axis.
