Chapter 22, Problem 10TQ
Summary Introduction

To describe:

Mr. W. H and his trainees had increased levels of cortisol, a stress hormone and reduced immune function during the experiments (described in this chapter). How could these changes negatively influence their endocrine as well as the immune systems over the long term?

Introduction:

The adrenal glands are a pair of endocrine glands located above the kidneys. The adrenal glands secrete three hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline, and noradrenaline. The binding of the cortisol to its receptor activates a pathway that leads to the regulation of genes, which are involved in the metabolism, development, and immune response of the body.
