    Glossary Stress Hormones

    chemicals released by the body in response to stress

    Stress hormones are chemicals released by the body in response to stress, with cortisol and adrenaline being the most well-known examples. These hormones prepare the body to handle stressful situations by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and energy supplies. Chronic elevation of stress hormones can negatively impact various bodily functions, including immune response and hair growth, potentially leading to conditions like alopecia.
