long-term stress. These hormones reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. It is controlled by the negative feedback loop seen below: Hypothalamus CRH Pituitary Gland ACTH Adrenal Cortex Glucocorticoids Based on this feedback loop, how do you think the glucocorticoids act on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland? Glucocorticoids inhibit the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, preventing the formation of too much glucocorticoid hormone Glucocorticoids stimulate the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, causing them to produce more glucocorticoid hormone Glucocorticoids inhibit the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, causing them to produce more glucocorticoid hormone Glucocorticoids stimulate the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, preventing the formation of too much glucocorticoid hormone ل ↑
