Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resistance stage is characterized by the continued release of cortisol, a stress hormone that helps mobilize energy reserves and suppresses the immune system to conserve energy for fighting stressors. While epinephrine and norepinephrine are also released during the initial stage of the stress response (the alarm stage), they are less dominant during the resistance stage. Angiotensin and aldosterone are hormones involved in regulating blood pressure and electrolyte balance, but they are not directly related to the stress response.
