Neuroendocrine responses to stress vary between sexes and reproductive states and are influenced by the type of stressor. Stress responses are attenuated in some physiological states, such as lactation and conditions of low visceral adipose tissue. Moreover, some individuals within a species characteristically display reduced stress responses. The neuroendocrine mechanisms for stress hyporesponsiveness are likely to include reduced synthesis and secretion of corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) from the hypothalamus as a result of enhanced glucocorticoid negative feedback and/or reduced noradrenergic stimulatory input from the brain stem. A major limitation of research to date is the lack of direct measures of CRH and AVP secretion. Attenuated stress responsiveness is also commonly associated with reduced pituitary responsiveness to CRH and AVP. The possible roles of inhibitory central inputs to CRH and AVP neurons and of oxytocin and prolactin in attenuating the HPA axis responses to stress are unknown.
