Figures & data
Figure 1 The glucocorticoids are responsible for inhibiting, by negative feedbacks, the secretion of CRF and AVP by the hypothalamus and, therefore, the secretion of ACTH by the pituitary gland.
Note: In depressed patients, this response does not function normally.
Abbreviations: ACTH, adrenocorticotropic hormone; AVP, arginine-vasopressin; CRF, corticotropin-releasing factor.
