Activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal stress axis induces cellular oxidative stress

Activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal stress axis induces cellular oxidative stress

Glucocorticoids released from the adrenal gland in response to stress-induced activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis induce activity in the cellular reduction-oxidation (redox) system. The redox system is a ubiquitous chemical mechanism allowing the transfer of electrons between...
