Abstract
The relationship between the hypothalamic — pituitary — adrenocortical (HPA) and the sympathetic — adrenomedullary (SA) systems is discussed by considering their role at the central and peripheral level. HPA and SA responses are not independent from each other and implicate a number of hormonal, monoaminergic and peptidergic reactions at the brain level. It is indicated that a number of interacting systems and feedback mechanisms take part in stress responses and that the corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF) has a major role at all levels of the neuroendocrine effector system.
