The regulation of blood sugar levels and our stress responses are controlled in part by a negative feedback loop involving cortisol,ACTH,and CRH.What would likely be the result during times of stress if cortisol receptors in the hypothalamus were nonfunctional?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If cortisol receptors in the hypothalamus were nonfunctional, the negative feedback loop would be disrupted. The hypothalamus would not detect cortisol levels, leading to continuous production of CRH and ACTH, resulting in excessive cortisol production and potentially causing blood sugar levels to rise to dangerous levels.
