rises in response to stress in the endoplasmic reticulum, or ER, several things happen: The nerve cell fibers (both axons and the message - receiving dendrites) are shorter, mitochondria are bulkier than normal and their numbers spike.
Adrenal fatigue is a phenomenon characterized by a disruption of your adrenal glands» ability to make cortisol in the right amounts at the right
times in response to stress.
Corticotrophin - releasing hormone is originally produced by the hypothalamus and controls the function of the pituitary - adrenal axis
