Eder Zavala, Quantitative analysis of high-resolution daily profiles of HPA axis hormones
ZOOM ID: 997 8258 4700 (Biomedical Mathematics Online Colloquium) (pw: 1234)Abstract: The Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis is the key regulatory pathway responsible for maintaining homeostasis under conditions of real or perceived stress. Endocrine responses to stressors are mediated by adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and corticosteroid (CORT) hormones. In healthy, non-stressed conditions, ACTH and CORT exhibit highly correlated ultradian pulsatility with an amplitude modulated by circadian processes. Disruption …
