Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stage of GAS where the hormones that reduce inflammation circulate at high levels is the resistance stage. In this stage, the body adjusts to the stressor and tries to maintain a state of equilibrium. The other stages of GAS are the alarm stage, where the body reacts to the stressor with the "fight or flight" response and the exhaustion stage, where the body's resources are depleted and it can no longer cope with the stressor. The latent stage is not one of the stages of GAS.
