    • Drug Therapy, CRF, CRF and ACTH

  • Lesson Biology: Drug Therapy addresses these key points

    • CRF

    • Cause secretion of ACTH
    • Overproduced in the brain when chronic stress is experienced
    Binding of CRF
    • Binding to receptor triggers complex mood and behavioral changes 

    ACTH

    • Triggers the release of corticosteroids
    • Mediators of the stress response
