TLDR
Together these agents appear to determine the complex physiologic responses to a variety of stressors.Abstract:
Stress stimulates several adaptive hormonal responses. Prominent among these responses are the secretion of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla, corticosteroids from the adrenal cortex, and adrenocorticotropin from the anterior pituitary. A number of complex interactions are involved in the regulation of these hormones. Glucocorticoids regulate catecholamine biosynthesis in the adrenal medulla and catecholamines stimulate adrenocorticotropin release from the anterior pituitary. In addition, other hormones, including corticotropin-releasing factor, vasoactive intestinal peptide, and arginine vasopressin stimulate while the corticosteroids and somatostatin inhibit adrenocorticotropin secretion. Together these agents appear to determine the complex physiologic responses to a variety of stressors.read more

Ecological processes and the ecology of stress: the impacts of abiotic environmental factors
TL;DR: The effects of abiotic perturbation factors and their effects on the hypothalamo-pituitary–adrenal/interrenal axis in vertebrates are focused on.

Cocaine induced secretion of ACTH, beta-endorphin, and corticosterone.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cocaine induces the release of ACTH, beta-endorphin, and corticosterone and suggested that this response is mediated at the pituitary level.

Norepinephrine and Its Metabolites in Cerebrospinal Fluid, Plasma, and Urine: Relationship to Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Function in Depression
TL;DR: Results in the depressed patients extend recent observations suggesting that dysregulation of the noradrenergic system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis occur together in a subgroup of depressed patients.

TL;DR: It is suggested that individual housing in itself does not change immunocompetence and corticosterone level, but does affect reactivity to a stressor, and individually housed mice showed high behavioral arousal, as well as altered immuno-endocrine parameters, when challenged with mild psychological novelty-stress.

Characterization of a 41-residue ovine hypothalamic peptide that stimulates secretion of corticotropin and beta-endorphin
TL;DR: A peptide with high potency and intrinsic activity for stimulating the secretion of corticotropin-like and β-endorphinlike immunoactivities by cultured anterior pituitary cells has been purified in this paper.

A Syndrome produced by Diverse Nocuous Agents
TL;DR: If the organism is severely damaged by acute non-specific nocuous agents such as exposure to cold, surgical injury, production of spinal shock, excessive muscular exercise, or intoxications with sublethal doses of diverse drugs, a typical syndrome appears, the symptoms of which are independent of the nature of the damaging agent or the pharmacological type of the drug employed.

Simultaneous single isotope radioenzymatic assay of plasma norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine.
TL;DR: Modification of the original single isotope radioenzymatic assay of Passon and Peuler permits the direct and simultaneous analysis of norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine in plasma samples of 50 μl or less.
