What does CRH do?🔁

 

🔁 What does CRH do?

When you're stressed, the hypothalamus releases CRH, which then:

  1. Travels to the pituitary gland.

  2. Tells the pituitary gland to release ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone).

  3. ACTH then signals the adrenal glands to release cortisol, the main stress hormone.
