“So, why were we required to test for possible HPA axis suppression in the first place?” Data derived from Bhatia N, et al. J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;doi:10.36849/JDD.7997.

This is good because the HPA axis is responsible for your stress response. When you exercise by walking, you calm your nerves, which can make you feel less stressed.

Participants provided fasting morning blood samples for basal HPA axis and concomitant clinical assessments. Blood samples collected at home before 10 a.m. were used to calculate plasma ...

Co-authors with Niwa and Sawa in the study, “Prolonged HPA axis dysregulation in postpartum depression associated with adverse early life experiences: a cross-species translational study,” are Sedona ...

Symptoms of HPA axis dysfuntion include sleep problems, a weakened immune system, and a greater risk of long-term health problems such as cardiovascular disease, stomach ulcers, and mental health ...

Sleep and the stress response share the same pathway: the HPA axis. When something disrupts the HPA axis functions, it can disrupt your sleep cycles as well. Let’s look at how this can happen.

Key Results The HPA axis in 103 patients (73.6%) recovered during 2 years' postsurgical follow-up. In 57 patients (55% of this subgroup), it recovered within 12 months.

The group hypothesized that they would find persistent dysregulation in HPA axis functioning, as well as higher rates of anxiety and mood disorders, in bereaved compared with nonbereaved children.
