Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sentence states that stress triggers the release of substances that play a role in inflammation and fever. Cytokines are known to be involved in the immune response and inflammation, and can contribute to fever. Glucocorticoids, adrenocorticotropic hormones, and catecholamines are also involved in the stress response, but they do not directly play a role in inflammation and fever like cytokines do. Thiamines are B vitamins that are not related to the physiology of stress.
