Hypertension: Role of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis

BA Scoggins

Blood pressure regulation may be mediated by corticotropin-releasing factor and/or by adrenocorticotropic hormone, by adrenocortical steroids, or by adrenomedullary catecholamines. The interaction between these factors is complex. Catecholamines and central actions of the neuropeptides may be involved in rapid hemodynamic responses to "stress". In contrast, adrenocortical steroids are probably more important in longer-term adaptations of the circulation to prolonged stress.
